Self Introduction

Hello English 338 classmates!

My name is Lauren Favero. I'm 21 years old and this is my 4th year at MSU.  I am an English Teaching major like many of you.  I began college as an Environmental Design (Architecture) major and spent two years in that program.  The switch to English surprised my family a lot. I had wanted to be an architect from the time I was eight but I ended up hating it. I'm still questioning how I lasted as long as I did in that major. When I decided that was not what I wanted to do with my life or for any amount of time, for that matter, I asked myself two questions.  What are the things I enjoy most academically and what do I enjoy most outside of school? The answers to those questions were: I like classes that give me an opportunity to write and write in different forms and I like to engage and connect with people. When I thought about those things it became fairly clear that a career in English education was what I should pursue, and should have from the start.  This is only my third semester as a declared English major but I feel certain that this is what I will be doing the rest of my life. I'm excited!
