English 3, Post 2, 'Why did I choose my major (study program)?'
Warm Salutations, Earthlings from INAP
In this week, you are expected to write about,
- your dream jobs when you were a child
- other study programs options that you had at the moment of applying to university
- what made you decide on this major?
- your experience at the university until now
> word count: 130 words
> don't forget to leave comments on 3 of your classmates' posts and on your teacher's post as well.
As usual, I leave a sample post for you to make fun of or to take as a starting point for your own written work,
Since I was a child, I did not think about getting a job or dreaming –daydreaming, perhaps- about getting a job. I did not contemplate the idea of an ideal job because it simply did not exist in my childish world. I was really into video games, soccer, and cycling. Now, that I think of it, I never imagined myself making money out of playing video games or playing soccer. I thought they were only hobbies to spend my time on.
When applying to a University program, there was a hand of career options I seriously considered following: Philosophy, Literature, Medicine, and Law. I decided on English Pedagogy because I saw English as a medium for reaching an end (nowadays I still do), what sort of end, you might ask. It was an end to reach Literature and Education from other perspectives, the ones from an English-speaking country.
When recalling some experiences from my experience at University, I only will tell you they were not as satisfactory as I could have thought they would be, mainly because of an idealism one may nurture from adolescence, or because I felt sort of misplaced inside the university community itself. I would like to think it was because of the latter.
There is no ideal job for me to think of, but I would like to say that I would like to lecture on two topics; (a) English Literature as a matter of intellectual escapism, and (b) Methodology and Applied Linguistics to prospective Teachers of English as a Second Language.
What about you?
Thanks for reading,
Cheers.
