Bahasa Inggris Bisnis 2 Task 4 : Why I choose the information system as my major?


Why I choose the information system as my major?

My name is Dina Indah Fauziah. Now im 22nd, I was born in Kuningan on 26th March 1996. I’m the first child of four siblings. Currently I'm finishing my skripsi in the final semester. This is my last year after almost 4 years of college. During high school I aspire to become an accountant. at that time I was interested in accounting and management. I think it would be fun to explore what I like. But then after doing some deepening about the various information majors that are good for me to live is the information system. This is supported in line with my relatives who cultivate the same field. By reading research at that time, IS is a very prospective prospect in the next 20 years. Where technology will always and continues to grow, so that an analyst system is needed in various fields. Then I chose to study in Gunadarma by taking the subject of Information System. gunadarma is a university with good accreditation by bringing majors in IT where IS is good inside, so I decided to study there.
At that time I still did not have much idea of ​​the subject matter, what to learn, what the main focus of a student information system. The first year courses studied from information systems are still common, such as learning basic physics, basic chemistry, basic math, and beginning to be introduced with algorithms and programming. For the first year is not too difficult for me to follow the lectures in this department. Incidentally once when my high school students majoring in IPA so to follow the general course does not have to start from scratch. But for the introduction of algorithms and programming then I have to start from the beginning of really do not know what is the algorithm, what is programming language, introduction of information technology and many other courses that I have not got before. 
In the information system, we are taught to be someone who is able to understand a business process so that we are able to put it into a program where the program is what is really needed to support the running of a business. In addition, IS also teaches how we to understand a business process so that we are able to analyze what can and should be improved in running this business that ultimately to achieve higher profit. many undergraduate information systems are building their own companies, most of them building businesses in the field of start-up. a professional information system also works with a considerable salary. I also hope to reach it soon, so I can reap the results of my efforts so far.
So my short story why I chose the information system and a little picture about the course in the department of information systems.
