i dun think reading history serves me well because my future career has no relation with this subject. but i haveno choice but to socre good marks in this subject to get my straight A's in my year end exam (history is compulsory to all students in my school).

in this case, wat purpose should i state?

"i am going to study history so that i can get an A for my history?"
but previous posts claimed that this purpose is not good enough.

really confused....:(

thanks for your help though.
