My Reflection Of English: My Passion For English

“So Daniel, what are you majoring in? English oh thats interesting, what do you want to do with it?” I have already been asked this question hundreds of times and I expect to be asked it a hundred more. So why am I majoring in english ? I have a passion for English because so much can be done with an understanding English. Since so much can be created with a tool that we often do not give a second thought why not then make it my major? With english a person is capable to creating worlds and making dreams come true. They are able to talk about the intricacies of particle physics while also discus the complexities of the heart. With a grasp of english and I would argue communication itself, one could do anything. English and Communication

I often get carried away in my passion for knowledge that I often forget the reasons for starting anything in the first place. I want to use my English Major to get a teaching degree. This degree would then be my stepping stone in order to get my masters in counseling. Once I got my Masters, God willing, I would try and get a job working overseas as a counselor. I have a passion for learning and adapting to other cultures. It simply fascinates me to see how other people think and process the world around them. Do non-native speakers have different thought processes than us english speakers? What does their language do to their psychology. Questions like these I absolutely love. This would not be the end of my learning however, I eventually want to get my doctorate in Psychology or Counseling. These are plans that are very far in the future however. I have two sides to my personality, one side likes to make these long elaborate plans while the other is more logical and is ready to take over when those plans fall

What is my calling however? Often times people get the two mixed up. A persons calling is what God has called them to do in order to spread His Word. While I would never presume to know God 's plan, I do believe that his calling would never be something that we do not like to do. God gave us passions and skills that he wants us to use and use them we must. God has given me the ability to speak. I love speaking and any kind of intelligent conversation. I enjoy getting to know people and helping them with their problems, ususally by talking about them. I am not saying that I have the answer to everything but I do however have God and He can speak through me in order to get his purpose achieved. What is my calling? I would say it is to simply speak and let his light shine through
