After reading the article “Who Are You And What Are You Doing Here?” written by Mark Edmundson in class, I learn some ideas about my future study in the college and I find that I made a wise choice about my major from his experience and examples. I am sophomore and math major now. My major was business management in the first year. That was my parents’ will that they want me to be a successful businessman in the future. Every year there are many Chinese students come to America and choose to learn business major. I do not like to follow the big trend and become normal. After finishing my first semester study, I decided to change my major because I would like to learn something challenging.
Like Edmundson said in the article, we need to fight to get a real educationI love solving problems and discover new things so I choose maths as my new major. To me, it is a new area but a more funny one. Comparing with the business class, there is more practice than theoretical knowledge. In the article, it mentions that the imagination is an important part in study. In mathematics, imagination plays an significant role and without it, there are fewer theorems than we know now. Moreover, Edmundson states that the end for students is a good job. There are so many famous professors in the maths area so I hope one day I can get a chance to reach that achievement. Rome was not built in a day. I will work hard on maths and other classes so I can realize my goal step by step.
