【原文】

Choosing what to study at college is definitely the biggest decision a young person makes. When students consider their major, they often think about the security and the salary of the job.

But my choice of major is firmly the choice of my heart: journalism.

Many people don’t regard journalism as a good job at all. It’s seen as too demanding, because a journalist must cover a wide range of news in different places. My parents want me to have a stable job, and they also want my working environment to be safe and relaxing. However, journalism isn’t safe or relaxing.

In spite of that, I still love the idea of a future in journalism, and here are the reasons. First, I have read and watched the news since I was a child, always hoping that one day I’d be able to cover the current events myself. Second, the skills I would develop in journalism, such as writing and editing, would really add to my life. But the most important reason for my wish to become a journalist is that lots of false information spread in the world via the internet. I want to be a journalist to play my part in fighting it.

Therefore, although my parents don’t like my decision, I have a clear sense of its value and I believe that the world needs more good journalists at the moment.
