Since elementary school, my favorite teachers have always been social science teachers. I have always loved my United States History teachers because they actually cared about whether the students in their classes learned. I also really loved my AP Psychology teacher because it was a class I was really interested in and she taught the material very well. I think my favorite teachers have been teachers that are not only interested in the subject they are teaching, but that care about students education in general. I also believe that my general interest in social science classes made it easier for me to enjoy my teachers. I tend to do well in social science classes like history, psychology, and sociology because of my general interest in those

My parents trusted me to maintain good grades and get my work done without having to constantly pester me about school. I never had any serious problems in school so they never had to attend teacher-parent conferences. During high school my grades started to slip and my parents began hassling me about my homework more, but it got to a point where they knew they couldn 't make me do what I didn 't want to, so they trusted me to get into college on my own. Now that I am in college my parents are letting me figure out things on my own. They know that because this is my future and because I am dedicated to getting excellent grades, that they do not have to worry about me succeeding in college. Though I am very interested in succeeding in college, I was not involved in any extra-curricular activities in high school. None of the clubs interested me and I didn 't feel like devoting my time to them. Now that I am at USF I have found multiple clubs and organizations that interest me. I have to find clubs that fit my academic schedule, but I definitely plan on getting involved around campus. I especially want to begin volunteering …show more content…
There was a point in time where I wanted to be an Early Childhood Education teacher (A Preschool teacher), but then I realized that they make little to no money. I do believe in picking a career that you’ll be happy with for the rest of your life, but if you are not making a wage that supports future plans, then you will not be truly happy. When it came to choosing what I really wanted to do with my future, no one in my life had a huge impact in my career decision. I found two things that I enjoy, children and psychology, and combined the two. My aunt is a School Psychologist, but she didn 't have an influence on my decision. My parents have always told me to pick a career field that I’ll be happy in. Furthermore, because I already knew what I wanted to do as a career I immediately knew I wanted to major in psychology. I am currently debating double majoring or minoring in International Studies and/or Early Childhood Education. I debated minoring or majoring in Environmental science because I really care about the environment, but there are a lot of science courses needed that I knew would be very difficult for me to pass. My dream is to become an environmental and human rights activists and I believe having a minor or double major in International Studies would really help me
