Students should always choose courses which they feel will benefit them in both school and their future career .

As English is one of the most important courses , taking an elective that can help you improve on it is essential .
Journalism also boosts students ’ confidence , as the students will practice to confidently use their language skills and to express their opinions within their own articles . If you want to have a future career that is related to writing or the news industry , journalism is a must-take course .

However , journalism does occasionally have homework , so that if you do not want homework and just want to goof around , cooking or similar courses will be a better option .
To sum up , based on the analysis on various scales , including how it is fun , helpful for your other courses , and helpful for your future career , journalism is a perfect course . If you do not mind doing a bit of homework occasionally , you should definitely give it a try !
