I need to convince my parents that I want a change in my university studies After the first year of university studying medicine, I have to tell you that I don’t want to carry on studying medicine. I haven't enjoyed at all and my grades have been bad. Studying medicine does not make me happy. To be honest, I have never really wanted to study medicine but it was your pressure that was pushing me into it. I don’t blame you for that because I understand that you would have liked me to have been a doctor like you, but medicine is a vocational career. I would like to study journalism, because I love to write about what happens all over the world. I would like to be an international correspondent. I think journalism suits me better than medicine and it will make me happier. I am sure that you will understand this change in my life because I know that you want to see me happy.
