Hey! Please look at this essay, I am not sure for the verbs, and also for prepositions.
As you can see I posted other essays I’m working very hard because I have the test in 5 days and I know I am not so good. I’ll be very grateful to everyone who help me.
Thanks.

-------------
The title given above asks me to answer one question that is very difficult to provide, because it requires to quickly find what was in my life
the most difficult decision I ever made.
I do not know if it was the most difficult in my life, but for sure it was very complicated.
I'm talking about the time when I was eighteen years old and I had to decide in which university program I have had continued my study.
At that time I really liked mathematics and physics and I can say That I still like it, so, at the beginning, I chosen to keep studying physics, but my relatives disagree with me because they support the opinion that I should had better choose some other courses
That will have given to me the possibility to find I good job.
After 1 month of thinking, at the end I decided to continue my studies in computer science, but after one year of studying, where I took some courses in data processing, I realized that this has been a wrong decision for me and I move in another course, mechanical engineer.
In all the course of mechanical engineer I have found things that stimulate my interests and I also work using mathematics and physics, I have found this course very completed and organized and after 7 years I can say that my relatives where right.
All of this point to the fact that, although I have lost 1 year or studying, I am not disappointed for this, because now I am a mechanical engineer and I have a lot of possibility to find jobs all over the world.
I just need to improve a little my English, this is why I'm doing this essay.

The QUESTION ASKED IS ONE WHICH I FIND VERY DIFFICULT TO ANSWER, because it requires ME to quickly DECIDE JUST WHICH was THE MOST DECISIVE MOMENT in my life.

I do not know if it was the most difficult in my life, but for sure it was very complicated.
I'm talking about the time when I was eighteen years old and I had to decide in which university program I SHOULD continue my studIES.
At that time I really liked mathematics and physics, and I can say that I still like THOSE SUBJECTS.
So, at the beginning, I chose to keep studying WAS physics, but my relatives disagreeD with me because they ALL supportED the opinion that I should choose some other courses
WHICH WOULD GIVE me the possibility OF FINDING A REALLY good job.

After TAKING A MONTH TO REACH A CONCLUSION I decided to continue my studies in computer sciences, but after one year of studying, where I ALSO took some courses in data processing, I realized that this haD been a wrong decision for me and I moveD in another course, THAT OF mechanical engineerING.

DURING the course of mechanical engineerING I have found things that GREATLY stimulated my interest, and I also HAVE THE ADDED ADVANTAGE OF using mathematics and physics IN THIS WORK.
I have found this course very COMPREHENSIVE and WELL organized, and after STRIVING FOR SEVEN years I can say NOW that my relatives were right.

All of this pointS to the fact that, although I have lost ONE year OF studying, I am not disappointed BECAUSE OF THIS, FOR I am NOW a mechanical engineer and I have lotS of possibilitIES to find jobs all over the world.
I just need to improve my English A LITTLE. This is why I'm doing this essay.

This is an interesting essay Cici. I'll get in university next year but so far I don't know which course I will do. I like science but people use to tell me that the best thing to myself is to do letters (history, philosophy, portuguese). I usually write articles for a local newspaper, that's the reason why they said to follow letters.

Hey.. I’ not sure what suggest you, I only can tell you what is my personal experience.
My girlfriend is studying letter because she what to become an archeologist, so she must learn stuff like
History, Latin Greek etc..
She was not very good in science so for her was quite easy to choose, but now she always tell me that also in her field the people who know computer science, physics and stuff like this are the professional figures more in great demand, especially the people who have also a strong humanistic back ground.
What I think is that, if you are passion for history and literature you can cultivate it yourself and become a good journalist is you want, but if you like physics and mathematics you can probably need to follow courses and study with the support of the university and maybe you can spend these skills in the field of literature rather than history.
To sum up I think that you can be a good journalist without studying journalism, but you cannot be a scientist without studying science at the university.
In conclusion if you have both interests, if I were you I would opt for something linked with the mathematics because in this way I won’t preclude to myself the possibility to cultivate the other interest, vice versa this is not so easy to do.
Ok! I hope my suggestion can help you for your choose!
Please if you have time do not hesitate to give me suggestions to improve my writing.
Good Like!!!!
and let me know about it!
