Choosing a major is an important decision and one that could pave the way for a successful, lifelong career. Some students know what they want to major in right away, while others take their sweet time to choose. 1. Here are a few tips on how to choose a major:
Know your strengths. It can help you narrow down your options and find an area of study that suits you well. If you’re not certain what your strengths are, talk to your advisor and a career counselor(顾问) to assess your strengths and apply them to a major. 2. Just because that your’re good at science doesn’t necessarily mean you’re prepared for advanced biology and chemistry classes, or weekly three-hour labs spent observing animals.
Talk to upperclassmen. Upperclassmen have been in your shoes and know how hard it can be to choose a major. 3. They can give you first-hand accounts of taking advanced courses and how to avoid switching majors halfway through college. Talking to upperclassmen about their majors will give you a better understanding of what each program undertakes and what to expect. They can also give you advice on which classes you should take, the best professors in the college and guaranteed ways to get an A.
4. Regardless of what your parents, friends or advisors tell you, choosing a major is your decision and you should do what you love. Students may feel pressured to choose a major based on career salaries and job outlook(前景). 5. If you’re stuck studying something you hate, chances are that you won’t do very well in your classes and you may end up never using your degree.
A. Follow your heart.
B. Talk to people in the area.
C. Either way, don’t worry.
D. They won’t sugarcoat things, either.
E. It’s also important to know your limits.
F. Before you settle on a particular major, find out more.
G. However, it’s far more important that you follow your passion.
Wilma was born on June 23, 1940 in St Bethlehem, Tennesse. By the time she was 6, Wilma Rudolph was given metal braces(支架) to aid her in walking. She started receiving treatment with help from her family. A few years later, she walked without any assistance into the church.
When she was in junior high, she joined the basketball team. She finally made an appeal to compete in games again and when her wish was finally permitted, she amazed everyone by leading the team to an undefeated season and the state championships. Though they lost the championship title in the end, Wilma Rudolph earned the attention of the women’s track coach, Ed Template at Tennessee State University and was invited to join the “Tigerbelles”. Her efforts paid off as she turned out to be so good that the Tigerbellers invited her to join them in the national Olympic team trails. Not only did she make it into the team, but she won a bronze medal in the 4×100m relay at the 1956 Melbourne Olympics. Four years later, Rudolph set a world 200m record(22.9 seconds) at the 1960 US Championships. At the Rome Olympics in 1960, she competed in the 100m, 200m and 4×100m relay, and equaled the world record of 11.3 seconds in the semifinals (半决赛) of the 100m. She won the final by three metres in 11.0 seconds, but it was not accepted as a world record. Wilma Rudolph’s extraordinary achivevements in Rome made her a darling of the European press who gave her the nickname “the Black Gazelle(羚羊)” and “The Black Pearl”. She also became the first woman in American history to win 3 gold medals in the Olympics and was crowned “the Fastest Woman in the World”. Wilma Rudolph’s spirit inspired people such as Jackie Joyner Kersee and Florence Griffith Joyner who became the next woman to win 3 gold medals.
