→ The question of whether to use if I was or if I were is a question of mood, which, in grammarspeak, refers to the way in which a verb expresses an action or state of being.

•${\bold{\underline{ \: Is \: statement \: correct :-}}}$

Yes; were is correct in the given statement.

•${\bold{\underline{ \: Explanation :-}}}$

↠ Here, " I " is used in the sentence which is a plural word or plural subject, so according to grammatical rules we have to use were in this dilemma.

↠ Also were is used to express the unreal conditions or the things that are not true( i.e. if I were a superstar) and that's why also called subjunctive mood.

•${\bold{\underline{ \: Some \: extra \: knowledge:-}}}$

Now the question arises - why don't we use "was" in place of were?

So, first of all -

↠ Was is used to present single word or singular subject.

↠ It can't be used to present unreal conditions.

↠ Also,it is used for the things that could happened in the past or now
