What does an English Major look like?

Could she be a creative English III teacher who is grasping at straws? Pondering the day Oprah calls her up to invite her to talk about her number one seller. Perhaps he is a devoted father, who comes into class sick from seeing his daughter having to face cancer at the age of 9. Does an English Major have dark circles under his eyes and tiredness in his voice; but still able to enlighten the class, who has watched his transformation from a fresh poet to a worried father, about Macbeth. Maybe she is a well rounded Christian woman, dressed in formal attire, preparing her class of five for what the world has to offer.

He could be a nineteen year old freshmen who suffers from intense procrastination. He worries about how he will pay for college each semester, and how much work it will take for him to do so. He could be a she, and she could be a he. The only thing that it can't be is a nothing.
