I have always been curious to know why people did certain things and behaved the way they did. I was that curious child, asking my parents question after question. Eventually my parents decided to stop answering my questions; this left me with no other option but to use my imagination. I enjoy observing people, when I see people cry, fight or be happy, I always wonder what triggered those emotions and why some people were more emotional than others. To this day, these curiosities run through my mind. When I was a little bit older, I discovered that there was a field dedicated to the study of the mind and behavior and that field is psychology. I have always wanted to study how the body and diseases works so I put two together and made my decisions …show more content…
I believe that perspective plays a vital role to developing good critical thinking, as well as listening and speaking skills. However, just because someone is sociable and is a good thinker does not mean psychiatry is the best field of study to choose for a career, so I had to go deeper in my quest to see if this was the right decision. I decided that my next step was to take a few general psychology courses at my local community college to confirm my interest in psychology. Once I started taking these courses, my interest in psychology grew and I was reassured that psychology was the field I wanted to study. I also took some sciences classes and they ended up being really interesting although they were a lot harder than the psychology classes. I believe Psychiatry isn't just about studying the mind and behavior; it is also an opportunity to help people which I plan to do as a career. I know becoming a psychiatrist isn’t something that can be accomplished easily. I will need to prepared to attend school for a very long time, have motivation, have grit and to have goals set up to which I can …show more content…
I’m already half way to getting my bachelor’s degree. My first half of school was at a community college and now I’m here at San Jose State. I wasn’t the best student in high school so at Chabot I learned how to become a better student. I believe this will get me through the next two years. Passing classes is easier said than done. I need to stay ahead of my classes so I don’t get behind and study for all my classes. After graduating with my bachelor’s in psychology, I plan on taking additional science courses to prepare me for the MCAT. Although it it’ll be ideal to get accepted to a school in California, I plan on applying to schools all over the country. If I don’t get into a school in California it will give me the opportunity to travel and live somewhere else for up to six years which sounds a little scary but at the same time exciting. After completing medical school, I will become a doctor and apply for jobs in
My perseverance has prepared me for a career in medicine. The path towards becoming a physician can be long and challenging, necessitating the ability to endure. My ability to bounce back from setbacks and mistakes has solidified throughout my journey. One of the cornerstone experiences of my personal development occurred during high school. My determination led to me my graduating as valedictorian of my class, while balancing three varsity sports and several extracurricular activities. In addition, I worked on weekends to help support my family financially. This persistence resulted in scholarship awards that made higher education a possibility.
It is hard to pinpoint the exact moment I knew I wanted to become a psychologist because as previously stated, the journey is complex and dates back to my childhood. When I was four years old, my parents adopted my 14 year old cousin after both her parents passed away. Her father died of AIDS while in
Golf is a sport of confidence, honesty, and patience. It has taught me to practice these traits in my everyday life. I have more confidence in myself and I know that I will succeed. I am honest even when the truth hurts. I am patient with those around me no matter how annoyed I may be. My name is Evin Edens, and golf is my passion.
I grew up in a household where education was seen as a form of self-improvement and empowerment. Being raised in rural Central California by two Filipino immigrants who had nothing more than a high school education, my family did not have an educated or intellectual history I could look up to. That is, until my mother decided to get a college education at the age of 45. I must have been in middle school at the time, before which the word “college” was never really spoken or talked about and I could honestly say I only had a vague idea of what it even was. Rather than having the traditional sit down talk with my parents about higher education, my mom clearly spoke to me through example. I distinctly remember times where I would be her study buddy, and while doing so, I found myself leisurely enjoying the pages of her science textbooks. Instead of asking her questions related to her upcoming text, I inquisitively asked juvenile questions like, “How do the genes make us?” Today I know that this is a very big and complex question that we are still trying to answer. Yet at that moment, I wanted an answer, but mother did not have the solution, nor did the textbook. That was the birth of my pursuit of scientific career.
My best (and favorite) subject in school is Math. Ever since I was very little I have loved math, and worked very hard at it. When I do not fully understand topics I do extra problems to make sure that they become clear to me. I spend a lot of time working on math to make sure I understand the topics throughly. I have been in math clubs since 4th grade, and in 7th grade I represented my school at the MathCounts® competition where I won a two silver pins. I won the Virginia State Math Award in 7th grade, and this year I got an 800 in math on my SSAT. As a result of my hard work I am currently one of three students in my school to be in the highest math group, Precalculus.

When I began my studies at the University of Northern Iowa, I had an interest in the field of psychology, but I was not yet sure that I wanted to pursue a career in that area. The classes that I consequently took and the professors that taught them solidified my desire to receive a degree in psychology.
My interest in Psychology began in 2012, when I had the opportunity to research on my own about the subject. After I embarked on an introductory course in Psychology to relieve the boredom of working in a call centre, I then was motivated to continue with my studies. After securing my Higher and HNC in Social Science – I continued with the HND.
There are many types of diverse people classified under various categories. Some people have different types of personalities. They could be classified as extremely manipulative, others as impulsive, and some may not show anything on the outside and have wonderful social skills. These categories help in the understanding of humans. This study is called Psychology and there are many different subfields in this diverse study of the people around us. One subfield that is particularly interesting is personality psychology. Personality psychology is a branch of psychology that studies personality and its variation between individuals.
People have always been an innate, natural curiosity for me. We are the subject in life that we know the best, yet somehow we are
One of the biggest ways that the modern world would be changed if worship of the Mother Goddess were once again the most popular spirituality on the planet would be in the way that women and girls are treated. Monotheistic, male-centric religions are, in my opinion, the biggest reasons for the reprehensible ways that females are treated. According to the book “When God Was a Woman”, in ancient societies where the Mother Goddess was worshipped, women had much more social and political power and agency over their lives. The stories of the male-dominated religions make it seem it is not only the right of men to subjugate women, it is actually their duty to do so.
I began to get fascinated by our capitalist world’s economy at a very early age of my life. Growing up, I was incredibly curious to unravel how systems function, and this curiosity developed into a burning desire to learn how processes and organizations operate and run our world. As I started my first job, I realized how much I needed to be better acquainted with the science of money making and the scientific approaches to money management. Later on in my life, being within a company system, I wanted to see the big picture by learning where such a company stands in the midst of all other business interactions locally and internationally. Being involved in the company’s practices I started analyzing the methods used by my managers, the causes and consequences of their managerial choices.
I chose to research on Customer Service Agents because they seem to be needed in most places of business and it was good to know information about them. I chose to research teachers because I plan on becoming a teacher as my career and it was good for me to find out all the important information that I was going to end up needing to know anyways. After researching these careers and the roles psychology has in each, I have realized how important psychology is and how it ends up helping in day to day
Psychology explores human mental process and human behavior then tries to find a way to treat or make it better. There are different techniques and steps used to treat a patient. What really excites me is, from psychology I learn backgrounds, religious beliefs, race and other factors that determine human behavior. I learned many different disorders from this class. Everybody has some disorders in their lives. And that one little disorder can
