Personally, I believe writing gives one the opportunity to express themselves in a way that can't be put into words. I have been taught how to write persuasive, expository, and narrative compositions in the past few years, which showed me how I can use writing as an outlet to convey my thoughts. I wasn’t uncertain about what career I wanted to pursue until a few months ago when I began to write my aspirations into a journal. As college admissions began to come out, I quickly realized that the time would come where I would have to pick a major for myself. I decided to begin to write down certain subjects that caught my attention in my classes.
When I finally read over my journal a few weeks after graduation, I noticed that most of my interests were related to biology and economics. Both fields of study can be seen as polar opposites but I came to a conclusion where I can combine and study both. I will use writing in my future career as I study microbiology while pursuing a minor in business. I ultimately plan on becoming a dermatologist where I will use writing to document and record patient records. I will create and write business plans to expand my number of dermatological offices.
Deciding on a major would have been nearly impossible if I had not previously written my interests into a journal during my last months of high school. Writing gives my fingers the power to say what can I not express into phrases out loud.
