Chapter 2 - Life's all about decisions (part3 - English Philology)

English Philology

This is a very recent idea
There were some girls in my class talking about it and I decided to find out what was this all about
As soon as I saw it had USA History as one of the subjects I felt like this could also be the perfect thing to me
I mean, I'm an European girl with the American Dream most Europeans have (at least many people I know have this dream as well) and yeah, one day I'd love to move to America
I talked to my mom about this option and she said it was better than the other one right away
Wanna know why?
Because this can be studied in a university 1 hour away from my house
What mother wouldn't like to have her daughter always close? Not mine
I love my mom and she always said that I should follow my dreams
But when money is a problem things change
And in this case studying closer means spending less money
And I understand the situation, I do
I mean, I told I'm Portuguese and I told that I'm living in Spain
Why?
Because we had to move due to economic problems (ever heard of them?)
So, money can actually make me choose Philology instead of Translation
I wish things weren't like this but right now there's nothing I can do to change it

I guess I'll have to consider some scholarship and stuff like that so that I can follow my dreams
Like I said before, I won't give up

And besides USA History there's also GB History and many other things related to the English language (You don't say?? I mean it is called English Philology, duh)

I really wish things could be easier
But maybe all of this happens for a reason
Maybe one day I'll look behind and think "It was hard to get here but it was totally worth it!"
