Nursing is definitely my path. It’s what I feel will bring me the most in life and what I will enjoy overall. Sometimes, though, I wonder what it would be like to be an English major.

English has always been my passion, and I feel like I do my best work when I’m writing. It comes naturally to me, a polar opposite of Calculus and Statistics. English could be considered my talent; I have the ability to transfer poetry from my mind to paper like it’s second nature, creative ideas come to me as if they were being pulled out of a mental queue, and I can write a three page essay in under an hour without editing it.

But, because I knew I didn’t want to pursue it as a major, I found a way to write without pursuing it as a career. I began to write my thoughts down & read poetry and short stories.
This year I have also grown very close with my faith and I have begun to journal passages out of my Bible — it is a great stress reliever and allows me to write down the multitude of thoughts I’m having.

In conclusion, this year I have been really using my journals as a hobby and enjoy reading back through them. My writing brings back past memories, allows me to document the present, and provides a way for me to look back in the future.
