So Much More

"Regardless of your major, however, remember: Your major is not you. Nor is your future determined or limited by your major" (Lemire, Chapter 9, 183).

This sparked a sense of relief within me when I read this passage. Sometimes during my classes which I am taking for my major, I feel like I'm stuck even though I'm doing what I want to do. I don't ever want people to think that all I'm about is teaching and english. There is so much more to me than my major. I think that your major doesn't even define you, but what you contribute to that particular major is what partly defines you. I want to be a teacher, but I also would love to pursue some of the many opportunites mentioned in Lemire's book. I also wouldn't mind taking some art classes and painting and actually displaying my work. I also would like to speak publicly. I love to sing, dance, and act, so those are others things I never want to stop thinking about. I understand I couldn't do it all at once, but I refuse to drop other things because of my major all at once.
