What should I take?

Even if I’m just a second year high school, I’m starting planning on what course I will take in college. My first choice is mass communication. It is my first choice because I love to express my feelings in public through speaking. I want to be good in speaking. I also love journalism because like the mass communication, it helps me express my feelings, but this time through writing. I love to write my opinions on what is going on in the country. It is how I can share my own opinions with. I like journalism because it makes feel that I am free on what I wanted to do. But I got discourage a little when the issue about the killing of the journalists came out. I got frightened upon hearing the news.

I also have a plan to take music course. I want music because I love music. I am fun of playing instruments and I am still interested about music. I want to know more about music. In fact, I can harness my skills and abilities through taking this course. But I realize that if I am going to take music course, I want it to be in up school of music where most of the Filipino musicians came from. I know that my parents would not allow me to be away from them.

I also love psychology because as what they said, I’m good in counseling. I don’t know if I’m really like that but it made interested to take that course. Well, It’s a good course not just because it is not that expensive but because it makes you understand the livelihood of people and what they feel.

When I joined the debating society in school, I got so interested about law. When we first debate, it was so hard for me to adjust because I am not used to speak in front of people especially that in debate you have to speak in 7 minutes! They are not just ordinary people that I am talking about but are well-informed people. They are going to take down notes on what I will say and definitely will rebut those things that I will talk about. It makes me realize that what we are doing is just the same as what the lawyers are doing every time they are in the court. But it also made me shiver when I hear the word “law” because as what I heard of one of the teachers in UP, it’s very hard to take this course.

My mother wants me to be an accountant especially if I will be a certified public accountant. That course is all right for me because I’m not that bad in Math. She said that if I will be a CPA, it would be easier for me to gain money.

As now, I will promise to love whatever course I will be taking in college. I still have 2 years to decide. One thing I am sure of is that I will be good in my studies.
