In regards to graduate school I only have a few schools in mind, one of them being Pitt. The same interest that drives me to pursue an education in biochemistry also drives me to go into psychology. For graduate school I will study psychology with great intensity in order to become a professional in the field of Neuropsychology. I have studied on my own time the relationship between personality and its effect on people. To work in such a field where I could help people and hopefully mend their ailments would be my self actualisation.…
When I was growing up college to me was just a place that smart people with money would go to get a noble job and earn more money. I only heard about it never really knew the extravagant opportunities it provided. College was not something that I was told to strive for the reason being that everyone in my family is going or got by life adequate without it. They had responsibilities at a young age and never really got to finish school or explore any intellectual concepts. Not going to college is a norm thing in my family.…

I underestimated my capacity for growth and learning. Though the small size and geographic isolation are rewarding for many, I long for more resources. I miss the social diversity that I had in high school. The college that I do want to study at has more academic resources and a more diverse community. Although I can challenge myself wherever I am, I want to be in a place where others are challenging themselves as well.…
Even when I was young, I knew that I wanted to go into a career that would help people overcome any challenges they may face. However, it wasn't until my junior year AP Psychology class when I discovered a career possibility of neuroscience. The class was required to research psychology-related careers, and that is where I delved into a deep hole of neuropsychology discoveries, education requirements, responsibilities, etc. This research showed me that I truly love neuropsychology and how they can help people overcome their personal struggles, whether mental or physical.…

I didn’t know too much about the subject…
When I think of college, I think of the opportunities I'll gain to access the world. To me, a good citizen is someone who aspires to learn as much as they can about the world, and do as much as they can to connect to the different people that live in this world everyday. Travelling across the world, or even to the next state, allows for a person to have different experiences and have new relationships. These relationships are the foundation of our society, allowing for the spread of knowledge and perspectives. This creates a world where we become more tolerable to other cultures and aren't afraid to try something new.…

Lovell Jenkins 52932512 The value of education is important to some individuals, but not to everyone. Some people might think education is not important, or they think it’s a waste of time, but I think differently. Education is important to me mainly because it can determine what my future holds. It’s also important because it can teach me everything I will need to know to be prepared.…
