I would like to describe a positive change in my life. The change is that I changed my major when I was a university student. About six years ago, I was a freshman at the university, and I was majoring in journalism, which meant my future would be as a journalist. I decided to change my major to engineering and science. I remember that it was in December 2020. I prepared a lot of documents for my major change. I also had to provide my school list. For example, I could get somewhere in engineering, not in literature. I did a lot of preparation for these activities. Before this change, I could not see myself as a qualified engineer today, instead of a journalist. Now, I can pursue a career as an engineer, which allows me to earn a better salary. Thank you.
