Psychology is what I would like to study because it helps with communicating with people. It also makes people understand themselves, other, and their own relationships better. Therefore, it provides development for people on new perspectives on mental illnesses. This will open many pathways to different careers. As well it helps me make a difference in people and their own lives.
I have taken many subjects that will help me be successful at university as a Psychology student. Taking Psychology in both grades 11 and 12 helped me have a background to the study and ever since the first lesson I took it guided me to have a psychology major. Chemistry and Biology help with Psychology because it increases my general knowledge about the body and brain. These two subjects will help me since a lot of the Psychological disorders or illnesses are related to either one of them.
For school activities, I joined the football team which helped me with me getting organized and discipline because we are represent the school in front of other people. All these sports will make me organized to divide my time equally between studying and practicing. This will help with me organizing my time later on in university and in life. I also volunteered to go with the school to another school where they got orphans there and we organized activities for them to enjoy and play. We also visited orphans and talked to them; we also did like the other day; we organized activities and games for them to enjoy. This relates to Psychology because it helps with empathy and patience which are to main important things needed for anyone who is in the major of Psychology.
For outside the school, I play kickboxing which helps with also time organizing because of the many things I have to do. I also joined MUN at AUC which helped with my debating and public speaking. MUN will also help me see the different aspects of drugs and crime around the world since this was the council I joined to help me later on in university.
