我决定攻读传播学学位是受我对写作的热爱以及家人职业道路的影响。因为我的父母都是警察,所以在我的成长过程中,人们总是问我是否也要追随他们的脚步成为一名警察。虽然我热爱并感激我父母所做的一切,但我的答案总是否定的。
在我的成长过程中,我有一个比我认识的任何人都热爱历史的哥哥,我总是看到他写结构极其严谨的文章,题目和要求都非常具体,这让我一点也兴奋不起来。
我一直是那个喜欢创造性和批判性写作作业的孩子。高中时,我通过一门名为 SUPA 的课程培养了自己的写作能力。SUPA 是锡拉丘兹大学项目推进的缩写。这门课的重点是批判性和创造性写作,要求我们想写什么就写什么,只要与课业相关就行。尽管我认为这是我上过的最难的一门课,但它帮助我过渡到了大学写作,最重要的是,它教会了我如何在两个小时内写出一篇七页的论文。
In college, I was able to expand my knowledge of writing in different fields such as public relations and marketing. I learned that my love of writing didn’t mean that I had to be an English teacher or a journalist. Public relations and marketing classes taught me how to use persuasive writing skills in order to benefit people, businesses, etc. I loved these classes because the writing was a lot less structured than an English or history class. Writing for public relations and marketing is a lot shorter and more creative. I was also able to take design classes that gave me the opportunity to use my writing capabilities to create advertisements, brochures, and websites. These are the main reasons I chose communications, because it gives me the ability to create content by using my own ideas and influences.
尽管传播并不涉及大量的实验室工作,但它需要花费大量时间思考写什么,并计划以最有效的方式将观点传达给受众。
我希望我的观点能让你明白,如果不能,我可能要重新选一个专业了!
最好的
