My dear mom,
I was overjoyed to receive your long awaited letter yesterday.Reading it made me forget my homesickness for a while and bought forth pleasant memories.My studies are going on at an impressive pace.Next year, as you rightly pointed out in your letter, we shall have to choose from the elective subjects of Maths,Biology or Arts.
I sincerely value your advice, for taking up Biology for pursuing a career in Medicine.There is indeed no doubt that a doctor's profession is very noble, but I somehow do not have any inclination or aptitude for Biology.I find it boring especially the dissection part is quite nauseating.It is on account of this,I did not score good marks in this subject in the school examination.
On the other hand in English language and literature I scored good marks.I got the highest marks in English language because of which I have been nominated as the editor of our school magazine which is to come out shortly.I have contributed a number of articles in this magazine.Beside this a number of my articles have been published in the local edition of the 'Times of India'.This has encouraged me to pursue a career in journalism, which I find very interesting and challenging.
Journalism as a profession, is also very noble and respectable.They are the fourth estate, that serve as a watchdog in a democracy, safeguarding our freedom.Being a journalist, gives one an opportunity to serve the nation, by highlighting important social and national issues, besides protecting the common men: from exploitation and injustice.
There is ample scope for growth in this profession, with tremendous potential in the print and electronic media.It also offers good opportunity to show one's creativity and hence there is greater job satisfaction. Moreover journalists have easy access to the high and mighty bureaucrats and politicians.They are respected for their views and make a valuable contribution to the society.Their significance can be gauged from the fact that, many great men including Mahatma Gandhi, Dr.Radha Krishnan, began their career as a journalist.
I would therefore seek your blessings, in pursuing this career, for which I have a natural liking.Please give my regards to dad.
