I knew Red Lobster was a bad option. I wanted to go to Outback Steakhouse, but mom had her way, even on MY high school graduation. I was stuck, sitting in the booth, waitress staring at me for 15, 16, 17 seconds now. Sitting in my cap and gown, she asked again – “where are you going to college?” I’d prefer the Bloomin’ Onion to this any day of the week.…
According to Occupational Outlook Handbook, psychologists study cognitive, emotional, and social processes and human behavior by observing, interpreting, and recording how people relate to one another and their environments. This field fascinations me for the reason that I aim to assist people when life throws them a curve ball. I intend to accomplish a difference in someone’s life and truly being a helping hand. When I took the Kuder Skills Confidence Assessment, my Holland code occurred to be SCI. The Holland code matches the career I intend to pressure since the S stands for social, the C stands for conventional, and the I stands for investigative.…

My interest in clinical psychology is reflected through my work experience at the Boys and Girls Club in Reading, PA and as an Academic Coach for Tutoring Services. As a Psychology major, I am able to understand and promote well-being and personal development.

I am unaware of their illnesses but I treat each child equally and wish to help them in any way possible to make sure they are comfortable.…

“School psychologists can make a positive, lasting difference in children’s lives” (National). The career I have decide to research is school psychologist. The reason I have decide to pursue research in this career is because I find this type of work very interesting. The idea of working in a school has always made me very curious, but as I grew older I decide teaching was not for me. As I continued to take assessments to find a career I stumbled across school psychology.…
This information is also one of the most valuable pieces in this interview because I realized again that this occupation is hard to have as a lifelong job. Some people told me that it is okay because most psychologists have therapy as well; however, even a person who has been facing these challenges for more than 20 years still sometimes feel overwhelmed. This information was somewhat miserable to me but good to…

My goal to pursue a career in the field of medicine has been a dream of mine ever since I was a child. Growing up in a first generation family who migrated to the United States for a better future, I learned quickly that the struggles that I have experienced at times have taught me that with hard work, determination, and enthusiasm for my education and my community has allowed me to continue to work hard and pursue my dreams of attending college. As a first-generation Syrian-American student I am the product of two cultures melted into one. My mother who was born in Syria and my father who was born in Iraq immigrated to the United States with little money and no knowledge of English just to escape the poverty, war and live a better life. As a child learning the language wasn't easy and I had to speak on behalf of my parents on multiple accounts.…

This research will give an explanation of the job of a school psychologist can do that will benefit the students of the educational place.…

Knowing the steps and the importance of the role of the psychologist, is crucial to many for several reasons… Whether it’s learning something new about human behavior, helping others find their solutions to problems, or just being an ear to one in need. Psychology is an art of it’s own, and I wouldn’t want to be researching any other career. Chronicle Guidance suggests that some personal qualities a psychologist should consist of are, “intelligence, a logical mind, patience, a flair for science and math, good speaking, and the ability to adapt around others.” Though I may struggle at times with some math, I do believe I have what it takes to pursue this career and can’t wait to start studying this unique art.…
Then as I grew older my passion went towards somewhere else. As I was getting older I found that people tend to confine with me and asked for advice, although I didn’t have much to give people said that they could trust me and that they were glad that they can talk with someone. It made me happy knowing that I helped someone by just listening to them talk and give my input here and there. I looked for careers that had to deal with similar and then I learned about what was psychology. I soon began to search up different types of psychologist and really liked the idea of becoming a clinical psychologist.…
