Since my first year in high school, I have wanted to be a Psychologist. I've set a high standard for myself and plan to pursue this goal at American University. Part of my passion to become a Psychologist is the result my early childhood experience in preschool. Attending preschool was a traumatic experience. On several occasions my teacher yelled at me for helping other students struggling to complete their work. Other times she yelled at for asking to organize the books or assist her in any way. Unfortunately, she scolded me and told me to go back to my seat. Additionally, the teacher accused me for being defiant because. she thought I intentionally spelled my name wrong. Finally, my mom inquired about the numerous complaints and realized that my teacher labeled me with a behavioral disorder without an expert opinion.

Ultimately, I wish to pursue my PhD and become a Neuroscientist. Achieving my bachelor's degree in Psychology is my first step towards my ultimate doctorate degree and become a change agent for my generation. In the summer of 2015, I attended the National Student Leadership Conference (NSLC), in Washington, DC. Students resided on the campus of American University. I was able to explore the Psychology & Neuroscience Program. This program was a 10-day intensive leadership program, here I explored the world of neurobiology. This introduction helped me to solidify my desire to pursue Neuroscience/Psychology. Upon my return home; American University was and still is my first choice of schools I wish to attend. I offer the caliber of leadership, dedication and passion American University is looking for and I would be honored to represent this school as a future
