Hi. I am studying two foreign languages as my majors. I managed to get accepted at the best university in my country. I really like learning foreign languages so I'm just doing what I love. The problem is my friends and sometimes some random people, which I hardly know, like to tell me that I shouldn't do this because there's no worth in this. I'm really fed up with such statements. I'm one of the best students and I even managed to get a scholarship, which was pretty competitive to get, and spend a year studying abroad at a university in Asia. I'd like to just focus on my work. Such people kill my self-confidence and prevent me from being happy over my achievements. Why can't they just let me be? Sometimes I really don't know if it's just jealousy or maybe I'm just stupid.

Your friends tell you this because they may not realize the potential in your major. Job employers absolutely LOVE someone who can speak multiple languages and are very, very important in many careers as many people don't speak the same language. Following your goals in life will never make you stupid, especially when you have people against you. That makes you bold, spontaneous, courageous, and a leader!
