I am an English Major, Gosh Darn it!

Today I received a text from the teacher I TA for asking if I could teach today.

I could, luckily.

I had an hour to prepare.

Which is why class got out about 20 min early.

A couple of student in the first class (namely one, and then another one joined in) decided to talk the the ENGLISH MAJOR TA, about how English is really not a worth while subject.

REALLY???!?!?!?!?

First off, bad move on his part. He is in an English class!

I tried to explain how important English was.

And honestly, I can understand.

In high school, English teachers are just picky about grammar and spelling.

ENGLISH IS SOO MUCH MORE THAN THAT!

He tried to say how Math is soooo important, and if you never learn it, you are lost.

I use English WAY MORE then I use math!!

I am using English right now.

I use it at church.

I use it at work.

At school.

At home.

I am pretty sure my dreams are in English too.

His point was that people do not write like they talk and don't talk like they write.

I do.

I do not know what he was on, maybe I should tell somebody?

I do not know how to explain it.

Really, you have to become an English major in College to understand.

But it is SOOO much more important that just learning to write well and read a lot.

We have taken Sigmund Freud from the psychology department.

We analyze

We think out of the box.

We encompass just about every subject. We are creative. We think. We are professional.

We have a broader span to learn, from writing, reading, poetry to fiction, creativity to professionally.

We really are not to be taken for granted.

We are English majors, and we rock.

Also, it really made me angry. Who does he think he is saying that English is not important????

A world of people would disagree.
