As long as I can remember everyone told me, "You would make an amazing teacher!" That is how I ended up choosing education as my major.

I would probably make a good teacher because I do enjoy kids and I love when I teach them something new. The truth is teaching is not my true passion and I cannot pick a major based on what everyone is telling me.

I took all my core classes based on teaching becoming my end goal. However, on the last day of sophomore year, I walked off campus and I was not happy with the choice I made. To a lot of people this was a shock, but to me I don't think it was.

I realized I cannot stand sitting in a classroom and I cannot picture myself doing that anymore. Most people were telling me to sleep on it, but I couldn't. I needed to make a decision. I got on my laptop and requested to change to communications.

I felt the weight lifted off my shoulders and I instantly got excited to go back to school in September. I don't think this is going to be a big change because I was going into English, but I feel better about my decision.

When I chose to become an education major I did not know what I wanted. I felt the pressure to choose something and I picked what everyone wanted me to be.

It's okay not to know what you want to do. Don't let the pressure of not knowing make you choose the wrong decision. This is your life and your career. This might make me behind, but it's okay because I'm going to be doing something I actually want to do.

I'm looking forward to this new chapter.
