Why I Chose to Attend College? 我為何選擇上大學(xué)?

字號:

As my high school years were drawing to a close, I turned over and over again in my mind the question of whether I should go to college. At times I did have some doubts. After careful consideration, however, I finally decided it was worthwhile to attend college.
    Firstly, because I was always hungry for knowledge and keen on learning. While in high school, I became more and more interested in such subjects as math, physics, and chemistry. I longed to explore much further into those areas.
    Secondly, because I knew a college education would provide me with opportunities for all-round development. I would play in musical groups, take part in sports, and join campus organizations. Involvement in various kinds of activities could help make me a well-rounded person.
    Finally, I was aware that in today's world many professions require years of specialized trainning. Without a college education, it would be difficult for me to obtain a desirable position.
    Now I'm here at college and I seem to have more reasons to congratulate myself on my right decision.

    我為何選擇上大學(xué)?
    在我的中學(xué)生涯即將結(jié)束的時候,我對是否去上大學(xué)這個問題思來想去。有一陣,我確實(shí)有些疑惑。但是經(jīng)過認(rèn)真的考慮,我終決定上大學(xué)還是值得的。
    首先,因?yàn)槲乙恢笨誓街R,樂于學(xué)習(xí)。在中學(xué)時,我對數(shù)學(xué)、物理、化學(xué)等學(xué)科越來越感興趣。我渴望在這些領(lǐng)域方面做進(jìn)一步的探索。
    其次,因?yàn)槲抑来髮W(xué)教育會為我提供全方位發(fā)展的機(jī)會。我可以加入樂隊(duì),參加運(yùn)動項(xiàng)目,進(jìn)入校園各種團(tuán)體。介入各種活動會使我全面發(fā)展。
    后,我很清楚,在今天的社會上,許多職業(yè)都要求有多年的專業(yè)培訓(xùn)知識。不具備大學(xué)學(xué)歷,要找一份稱心如意的工作會是很困難的。
    現(xiàn)在我上了大學(xué)。我似乎有更多的理由慶幸我做出了正確的選擇。
