Answer:
CREATIVE WRITING HAS BEEN A HAPPY PART OF MY LIFE SINCE I FIRST LEARNED TO HOLD A PENCIL, SO ONCE I CHOSE GUSTAVUS, I CONSIDERED MY CAREER AS AN ENGLISH MAJOR A GIVEN. PERHAPS I AM A RARE BIRD FOR THAT, BEING SO SURE OF MYSELF SO SOON. BUT I COULD NOT HAVE ANTICIPATED HOW MUCH I LEARNED ABOUT THE VALUE OF READING, IN EVERY AREA OF LIFE, THROUGH THE ENGLISH MAJOR; NOR DID I SEE ITS POTENTIAL TO SHAPE ME AS A WRITER. NO MATTER HOW STRAIGHT-FORWARD A STORY MAY SEEM, THE SEARCH FOR SOMETHING DEEPER WITHIN IT LEADS TO ALL KINDS OF INSIGHTS THAT, WHILE PERHAPS NOT IN LINE WITH THE AUTHOR'S ORIGINAL INTENT (WHO KNOWS?), TEACH YOU MORE ABOUT THE WORLD AND THE DIFFERENT WAYS PEOPLE USE LANGUAGE. THE THEORY TAUGHT ALONGSIDE LITERATURE, IN COMBINATION WITH THIS ANALYSIS, GIVES YOU THE POWER OF PERSPECTIVE THAT IS SO ESSENTIAL TO FINDING CONTENTMENT AND PEACE IN COMMUNICATION WITH PEOPLE WHO ARE DIFFERENT FROM YOU, IN A WAY THAT IS UNIQUE TO THE STUDY OF LITERATURE. TO WRITE YOU HAVE TO READ, AND TO REALLY READ, YOU HAVE TO THINK, CRITICIZE, DOUBT, WONDER, AND STAND AMAZED BY WORDS ON THE PAGE. THE ENGLISH MAJOR SHOWED ME HOW TO DO THAT, AND NOT ONLY HAS IT INCREASED MY SKILLS AS A WRITER, IT HAS MADE ME A MORE COMPASSIONATE AND HONEST PERSON
