Should i do French as a major
I have been taking french since the seventh grade, at first I was not serious about it. But from eigth to the ninth I have been doing excellent in my class, I m the smartest in p my french class. However I have only excelled in writing, grammar, and reading in French. I still have ways to go on my speaking and listening. I am very self concious and nervous about speaking and liatening, but i been striving and not giving up. Now I going to be a senior this year and I trying to decide if I want to do French, but my mom keeps nagging me about my inability to speak the language fluently. She keeps nagging me with questions ,such as: how can you do French as a major when you can't even speak fluently in it yet? which makes me feel more unsure about French. I have spoken to foreign language teacher and people, and they have told me that not evryone is fluent by gradration . In addition they have told me that a person has to study in a foreign language in order to become fluent. I am confused , i mean I know she means well but her questions make me wonder: am I wrong, should I just give up?

if French is your passion and it makes you happy, you should absolutely choose French as your major. no matter how challenging it may be, if you love it, that's all that matters. it's your life. your decision. not your mom's. why second guess yourself and pass up the opportunity to chase your dream? you'll never know if you don't try. if you work hard, anything is possible!!! here are some guidelines to help you make your decision!
* ask yourself..."do i want to major in French?" if you don't hesitate to say yes,PLAN TO MAJOR IN FRENCH. if you have to convince yourself, dont major in it. keep in mind that nothing is set in stone your first year of college, so don't be afraid to decide on French just cus you don't want to make a decision and afraid you will change your mind.
bottom line is...
my advice to you, is (if you LOVE FRENCH and that's your passion) chase your dream and plan to major in French. if you still love french, continue with that major. and plan b, if you find you dont like it, you can change your mind. but that's only if you have to think of plan b. don't think about that now. if you want it now, do french!!!!!! chase your #1 dream!!!!!:) what have you got to lose?
good luck! i hope i helped
