An Update on my Academic Pursuit

 Over the last several years, I have blogged about Medieval Studies. Indeed, I began this blog back in 2019. Since that time, many people online have been exposed to many of my writings. 

When beginning this blog, I said that I wish to get a Bachelor of Science in History and a Master's in English. I also wanted to get an MA in Medieval Studies. However, I later switched to majoring in English and am now about to graduate with a Bachelor of Science in English and Writing. 




There were many reasons that I switched to English. Among them was because I wanted to learn more about literature, writing, and publishing. Since enrolling at Liberty University four years ago, I have done that. However, now, I wish to return to historical and theological studies. Majoring in English has prepared me to pursue a career as a novelist, which I will be doing as I also pursue seminary. As I also no longer have any interest in being a secondary teacher, I wish to become a college or university professor. 

I'm in the last semester of my degree. Soon, I will be done with my undergrad in English. I am grateful for this. I am ready to move on. I no longer desire to be an English professor or teacher. I now wish to become a professor of either history or theology. Back in 2015, when I graduated from high school, I struggled to decide between majoring in religion or history. In 2019, though, a year before I enrolled at Liberty, I decided to switch out to English. With my Bachelor's degree essentially now done, I am ready to return to my academic pursuit of religion. 

Finally, I originally desired to major in history or religion. While my Bachelor's degree is in English, my Master's degree will be in a seminary field. From there, I will pursue a doctorate, either in history or a theological field.
