The Joy in "Knowing" Your College Major

Some people feel college isn't for everyone, and I won't argue against that, but if you want to achieve a higher level of success in life then college is a VERY good place to start.

Finding a college that's right for you is ridiculously hard. How are students expected to make such a life changing decision after newly joining adulthood? Until lately, I would have had a bone to pick with whoever set up the system.                                           
      But happily I will NOT be applying to my colleges as UNDECIDED. In my opinion, and I have little credibility about colleges to back me up, going in undecided is a death sentence. You'll be less likely to get scholarships and it will definitely be harder to get into certain programs.

So thankfully I have the joy in pretend "knowing" my major! The odds of changes majors in college are very high and I recognize that but at least I have a firm starting place.

SPEECH LANGUAGE PATHOLOGY

I am obsessed with this fantastic field of study! Part of the reason I'm so happy with it is because there are so many options! I can work in schools, nursing homes, hospitals, homes, or office buildings. And the variety of people I can help and will affect is incredible.

From little kids who can't say their "r"'s, to hospital patients who can't swallow, to international businessmen who need to reduce their accent, to opera singers trying to hit the high notes, to babies with fetal alcohol syndrome. What an impact I could make!

My parent's approval is also very important to me and fortunately, they support me completely! It's so exciting to have a general idea of how I'm going to benefit society.

I send my warmest regards to all those struggling to find their passion and purpose, it's one of the most difficult decisions in life but once you find it -- when you find it, if you find it -- will be a fantastic joy.
