When I was in seventh grade I saw a video about a an abused child who was raised in horrible conditions. When the girl was discovered by child welfare authorities they noticed that even though she was thirteen she still could not talk and had various psychological issues. This video really opened my eyes and made me realize how humans are psychologically affected by so many factors. After watching the video I wanted to learn more about psychology because I understood the importance of it for the first time in my life. I was very fasinated and at age twelve I decided that I wanted to major in psychology when I entered university.
My career plans would probably be to finish school and become a psychiatrist.

I want to learn as much as I can

    Ever since I was a child, I was entranced with psychology, but only saw it as a hobby. Now, my interest is in behavior and forensic psychology. The way people behave is fascinating for me to learn about, and any classes that I can take now that would help me in the future are always welcome. Psychology has always interesting to me, but I did not know what exactly it was until seventh grade when one of my friends told me how they had a therapist for her depression. At first, I thought that therapists only listened to people’s problems and then magically solved them, but I soon learned that that wasn’t the case. There were ups and downs with my friend, and she never really got ‘better’ in the sense of her being back to her old self, but therapy did help. When I saw her process, I was intrigued. I always knew that I wanted to help people, but knew no other way than community service. It was through my friend that I finally figured out the answer to what I wanted to do with my

The reported effects include decreased ability to metabolize glucose (similar to what occurs in diabetes) and increased levels of cortisol (a stress hormone involved in memory and regulation of blood sugar levels). The article also briefly alludes (in the quote at the bottom of page 1) to unspecified changes in brain and immune functioning with sleep deprivation.

    Movies are most of the time related to a human being’s life. Movies apply psychology to their plots. For example, movies like the StepMom directed by Chris Columbus, and Good Will Hunting directed by Gus Van Sant show us that psychology is part of our lives in a day to day base.

    Have you ever had an event in your life change your perception on someone or something? That happened in my life, while I took my Anatomy and Physiology class. I had never known what I wanted to do in my future. I never even had an area of study that truly interested me, interested me enough to possibly want to work on it for the rest of my life. All through my earlier school years I always thought that science was about rocks, space, earth, and animals. Science was always my least favorite subject due to that and I never thought that I would ever love it. When I took the Anatomy and Physiology class, my paradigm shift happened. Due to that class I have figured out that I want to have a future in Radiology and that I love health/human body

    I never noticed how much psychology could be incorporated into everyday life. But really, any decision or action you take is related to it. I have personally been extremely interested in social psychology: why people do things because of social norms, what people do in order to look socially acceptable, etc. Others topics I also find interesting are sensation and perception; how past experiences can influence how you perceive the things around you, states of consciousness; how things that have happened in your day can be transferred into a mash of events in your dreams, motivation and emotion; what makes a person do something or what makes a person start or stop procrastination, and lastly: personality; what characteristics and traits stand out the most in a person, what makes a person who they are.
