Reading for my English Lit Class( Black Writers in America)

After reading about 8 short stories and one book by black authors, I realized I have a passion for African American literature and literary criticism. As I could always remember I have always wanted to be a doctor. Specifically I wanted to become a pediatrician, however after my last semester in high school and my first semester at UVa, I have learned that I have I am interested in literature and close readings. I have learned that I enjoy writing more than being tested on information. I have researched major and minor requirements for English as well as African American Studies.
