Why do (did) you choose your major?
I chose to become a mechanical engineering(ME) major because I was luckily admitted to Ming-Chi (please write down the full name) by college entrance exams, though I was not doing well in the senior high school entrance exam. Still, I am wondering why my exam scores were far poorer than the mock tests.

For the first reason why I chose to enter Ming-Chi, because my liberal arts was a little poor in junior high, I thought I will (would) be in trouble if I entered senior high school to face deeper and more difficult liberal arts. But in ME field, liberal arts are not a necessary subjects. By the way, I like to study maths in my spare time, so I am good at it. (Thus)==>Maths is also the most important tool in ME. I (think it is easier)==>thought it would make it easier for me to start my learning journey of ME. The second reason was that my family and relatives encouraged me to study ME in Ming-Chi and aimed at National Taiwan University ((os Scuence)=>of Science and Technology(NTUST). They thought ME was (general)==>what do you mean by that? and developing, and NTUST is famous in ME area. In fact, I was not sure if I did have interest (of)=>in it at that time, but I would like to try it.

At first, I did not like my major; however, later I had grown fond of it, because of the following reasons. First, I had found some subjects to become more and more interesting to me, such as Dynamics, Manufactures, and Materials. Second, from the course, “Factory Practice”, I have learned about the difference between theory in the text books and practice in real life. For example, I have come to know that it is not easy to mange a factory. Third, my uncles would usually tell me something about how to make a new product manufactured by machine and my teachers have also taught me about the importance of manufacturing techniques. That is why I have got more and more interest in my major courses.

Now, as I enjoy my major more than ever, I am convinced of my right choice. As an old saying goes, “One may distinguish himself in any trade", I think as long as one tries his best to do what he has chosen to do, he will overcome all the problems or obstacles to finally achieve his study goal.==>Good conclusion! I agree with you.
