Choosing a language to study

Hi! I plan to enter college and dream to study programming. But I'm all trumbs in it and don't know what language to choose. I seemed to choose Java, recently finished my admission essay that should be formatted. But now I doubt whether my choice is good, so I would like someone more experienced to tell me is my decision right or not.
Btw, I would be very glad and grateful if you tell me how can I format my essay fast? Do students have any secrets or tricks?

UPD: I found a good solution for my problem and I want to share it here. I relied on people’s help, but I kept trying to carry out my own research that turned out to be very useful. Perhaps, someone will consider this information useful and will need it. The first source that helped me was Stanford blog [Only registered and activated users can see links.

Admissions board recommended me to submit a recommendation letter, but my employer hasn't written such papers before. Therefore we found a guide on writing a graduate letter of recommendation from an employer and we wrote an amazing paper. It let me increase my chance of being accepted.

If someone still has any questions, don’t hesitate to contact me.
