Love For Psychology

Your memory of your first day of high school would be an example of which of the following types of memory?

Recently, I had the pleasure of interviewing a great inspiration to me, my mother, Stephanie Sacks, about her experience in college. She went to Evergreen State College for her baccalaureate degree. She enjoyed the vast majority of the classes she took; “All of Evergreen was sort of an extracurricular.”, she said. The one she didn’t like was a biology class. “I absolutely hated that class.”, she remembered. The room was so warm, and the lectures so boring, that she fell asleep on multiple occasions. “Thank god I didn’t go to a regular college, because I would have absolutely hated it,” She chuckled. “I hated studying things I had no interest in.” Her favorite part of college was getting to pick which classes she took, which she said, “...was

Every person has a personality, but with a personality people also possess personality disorders. According to Rathus (2010) “personality disorders are patterns of inflexible traits that disrupts social life or work and may distress the affected individual” (p. 525). Little do most know that they themselves and the people around them daily have one or more disorders. A few personality disorders are obsessive-compulsive, obsession with perfection, and narcissistic, need for admiration. The film Mommie Dearest, directed by, Frank Perry, shows how personality disorders, like obsessive-compulsion and narcissism, effects children in their childhood and as they grow older.

However, junior year of high school changed that: I was given the opportunity to take either AP Psychology, or AP European History. I felt that the obvious choice would be to take AP European History, since I’m European and therefore already had a solid foundation for succeeding in the class, but something inside me told me to take a blind leap of faith and choose AP Psychology instead. This choice proved to be one of the greatest decisions I have made in my life. Through this class, I emerged myself into the world of psychology and fell in love with it. I didn’t complete the assignments to get a good grade. I completed them because I cherished every minute of it, and I started applying the materials learned in class to real life

When I was in fifth grade, I had the realization that I wanted to study Psychology. It became such a prominent thought that by the time I was a freshman in high school I was one hundred percent sure that I would dedicate my entire life to expanding my knowledge on such an interesting topic. I was so deeply intrigued by how different every single person is and how it all boils down to every single thought they have. Sophomore year I suffered from severe anxiety. This further engraved the idea that I wanted to help people focus on their mental health and bring attention to how important it is. My junior year of high school I was able to take AP Psychology. I was shocked by how many different branches there are and how the endless possibilities

Unlike other high schools, Ward Melville offers a wide range of classes anyone can take. I especially enjoyed my senior year because I took many classes that I was genuinely interested in. I didn’t take AP Environmental science because it was a convenient to fulfill the graduation requirement. I didn’t take AP Studio Art because I needed an art credit. I took what I wanted to take and what I wanted to earn more about. The freedom to choose, especially for a young adult, is what made it easier to achieve my goal of graduating. In the beginning, as a high school freshman I set the goal to graduate from High School, mainly because I was very intimidated by the other students who did not share the same thirst for knowledge in a class like I did. As I began being able to choose more and more of the classes I wanted to take, I found myself surrounded by the people who also had interests in those subjects. I began to make friends in the classes that I loved, which made my entire high school experience better. The greatest power is the freedom of choice. I set a goal in what I chose and I accomplished it. I plan to carry this philosophy over into my college experience. Instead of spending time on the straight path ahead, I will choose my own journey and let the path ahead swirl and twist as I learn what I want to

The major depressive disorder in her was characterized by low mood and the worsening relationship with her family members. She did not get along well with her mother considering that she was emotionally and physically tortured.

To me psychology in itself is a beautiful mosaic piece hanging in museum and a Mozart’s symphony piece paying in the background. My interest in clinical psychology dates back to my years in high school, where I excelled in psychology. When I was a senior, I took a second-year course in psychology at my high school. This advanced-level AP psychology class was engaging and interesting, and earned an A. Since then all I can remember, I have been motivated to understand human thought, feeling, and behavior. It seemed only logical that I pursue a career in clinical psychology.

Through the last two years as a student at Manchester Community College, I have been able to experience numerous classes and meet wonderful professors. In my first semester of college, I decide to take a general psychology class with Dr. Francine Rosselli-Navarra. She taught me that psychology is a science, which studies our minds and behaviors. After that class I knew that I did not just want to study the physical feature of the brain and the brain process, but how the interactions with and within our brains that produce our cognitive functions. After completing that psychology class I realized that I did not wish to be a biology major anymore, instead I wished to study in the field of Neuroscience, which is a combination of both biology and psychology.

Society and people have always been an interest to me. My entire life has been incorporated around helping those who are not able to help themselves. I take enormous pride in being open minded and free of judgement, when it comes to interacting with individuals. At a young age I was immersed in diversity, with my mother being a physical therapist working with severely disabled children, my father was physician assistant working with the elderly and disabled veterans. This exposure, at a young age opened my world to different cultures, people, and different situations that humbled me to have a level of understanding.

I am sending an email in response to the question you posed in the videos. I am starting my third year in the Ph.D school psychology program. I switched from the Ed.S program to the Ph.D program this fall. I am not certain why I chose school psychology. My bacholers is in Political Science and Psychology. I always thought I was going to go to law school, I even took the LSAT. While I was applying for law schools, I decided the career may not make me happy, so I found school psychology. I also saw a lot of unemployed laweyers when I was applying for law school. I want to work with any population. My practcum last year was at an elementary, middle school, and high school. I enjoyed working with all of the age groups. I have worked with children

1) The activities I enjoy the most are reading, playing chess, and my ​Magic ​© cards. The things that makes these activities enjoyable is the sheer fun that I have while participating in these activities. All of these activities help to calm me down and to help me get my mind off of negative thoughts or emotions. The reason they help me is because these activities hold certain memories and emotions, like for instance, my ​Magic​ © cards hold really good memories and emotions and that helps me to get out of a negative hole.

Ever since I was younger I want to be a police officer. However, my switch to wanting to be an FBI agent happened after I discovered that I will be going to college. Instead of just getting a degree and going to be police officer that I could be without a degree, I decided to use my education for what was worth and to give back on a grander scale. So I chose FBI, this fits my characteristics because the FBI will allow me to use skills that I developed in the military and throughout life to not only make our federal government a safer place, but our local states and cities. Though a Psychology degree, not the only one that will possess when I leave this University is one of the most

The field of Psychology became part of my passions due to family experience, church experience, and general beliefs of education and work. Firstly, during school, I had spent the majority of middle school with bored and disengaged partially everything. Math, English, Business, and other subjects varied in taste for me. Math and Science classes are the place where I succeed the most. I enjoyed math because of the structure that it possessed but never found much connection with it to the outside world. It was a very dry and nonromantic way of existing for me at the time. Science, primarily anatomy and biology, were areas where I also found interest. English and writing were both areas of study that I found boring or exhausting due to the lack of understanding I had comparatively to other subjects. None of these subjects gave me stimulation to the degree that I needed, which led me to settle in the pursuit of biology. Before choosing that focus, I signed up for a psychology class in high school but dropped out when my schedule could not match up. After high school, I decided not to go to Arizona for biological studies and went on a mission trip instead. In the midst of three months, my mind had changed and led me to choose Multnomah University for a degree in Youth ministry. I wanted to be involved with people and be able to help them out. I took a general psych class my spring semester at Multnomah and got introduced to a brand new
