My Major

Ok, so this past week I was thinking about school and i'm changing my major. My major was Elementary Education. I have always wanted to be a teacher. I used to play school when i was little and i love little kids. I took leadership 1010 last year where i went to campus school and did a field experience and in ACAD i tutored a kid at campus school. I loved it! For some reason, i just started thinking that teaching really was not for me. You have to have the gift to teach, and i really don't think i have that gift! So, i am changing my major to Exercise Science. I talked to my brother about it because thats what he went through to become a personal trainer. I'm going to go the PT route which is to become a physical therapist. Through the physical therapist major i'm going to go through the sports route so i can be a physical therapist for athletes. I think i will really enjoy this and also enjoy learning about our bodies. I'm also glad i decided to change my major this early on during school since i didn't really waste all my time on Education classes. I only had like 2 classes dealing with education and the rest have been general ed. classes.

Well, I hope it works out for you. I'm having trouble deciding my major as well. I love Psychology, I think it is a really interesting subject. But I've always loved art as well- that's more like a passion. I think if people are cut out for it, then they should do what they love. After taking an art class this semester, I'm not sure if I'm cut out for what I wanted to be either. I'm glad that you are finding a major you like- now I just need to find mine >_>.
