Why I am now an English Major

                                                           

Recently, I have decided to switch my major From History to English.That said, I will still minor in History. There are clear reasons why I have decided to make English my major.
 One of them is that English I think will benefit me on the long run for my novels. I am a novelist, and my concentration on historical fiction I think will be slightly more benefited by an English degree at this point, than I would be from a History degree. Also, Liberty University has no minor in English online, so I wanted to major in one of these fields of study while minoring in the other. That's why a major in English, with a minor in history, is a good choice for me. While I love non-fiction, I write fiction much more. This was ultimately a hard draw for me, between History and English. I hope I work with my utmost ability now to gain my English degree.
 On a different point, most of my mentor writers were English Majors. This seemed to really occur to me one day despite the fact that I never really considered an English degree until like a year ago.
I have obviously not included everyone on this list that is or was a famous English Major. But here are a few: J. R. R. Tolkien { who was originally getting a classics degree}, C. S. Lewis, Michael Shaara, Dr. Seuss, Georgie Henley, Emma Watson { who was originally getting a history degree}, Tom Clancy, Harrison Ford,  Matt Damon, Hugh Grant, Katherine Hepburn, Mitt Romney, Jodi Foster, Chevy Chase, Barabara Walters, and Clarence Thomas. There are of course more than that. I just wanted to list for my readers some famous English majors.
 I'm going to need a lot of prayer for my college work ahead. Soon I will be officially enrolling as an English student. My preferred future careers are being a teacher, or a librarian.
 Some of my friends are suggesting areas for me to eventually master in. I am surrounded by many with much wisdom. For now though, I am far too interested in gaining my undergraduate degree than to think about potential master degrees down the road.
 I hope all are doing well! Blessings in Christ.
