English Major Event (Extra Credit)

Today I attended the "you can do anything with an English major" event. There was a different set of speakers all talking about how an English major give them different opportunities in life. I never really thought how important an English major was until the speakers that were there today really talked about it. I used to think that it was very boring and i really wasn't interested at all but now i am somewhat encouraged to do more with it. Their was this one speaker who was talking about how he was a first generation college student and how it can be stressful at times. I can relate to this because i too am a first generation college student. My parents never had the chance to go to high school. The whole thought that I'm the first in the family to go to college is hard to believe. Like the speaker was saying it can be stressful, and to be honest i really don't know why I'm here. I always thought i had to go to college but I'm not so sure if i really wanted to or if i was even ready. Heck i don't even know what i want to do in life right now. But after hearing the speakers share their stories about the different opportunities you can obtain with just an English major, it helped me realize i have to work harder and i have to do more with not just an English major but also with all the little things in life and make the most of them.
