field of psychology
People experience different fascinations; mine questions how the human mind functions. We all have had experiences that relate to one or more fields of psychology, and we never even realized all that. As a child, I never questioned the impact my traumatic experiences would have on my mental ability and processes. With an increasing interest in exploring the human mind, I strived to understand how the field plays a direct role in explaining my life experiences and those of others. I desire to expand my knowledge and experience within the field of psychology by advancing my education level.
Unable to attend physical classes due to family complications, I`m currently undertaking online courses in Psychology, Biology, and English lit. The setback never stopped me from pursuing my dream. Further, I also work for a sales and marketing company to support myself as well as my studies. Within the company, I have worked extra hard in making face-to-face sales, progressing quickly through the company ranks. At the moment, the company has entrusted me to train and interview people on behalf of the company. Relating to psychology, the position enables me to observe human behaviour daily while, at the same time, improve on my communication skills.
While not working, reading books has become my greatest hobby. I`m fascinated by classic or dystopian novels that challenge my perception of psychology and human behaviour. I easily get lost in the world of books as they help me explore a different mindset portrayed by the authors within their timeframe. At the moment, the Handmaid`s Tale and What If make up my favourite reading list. I further love to interact with like-minded people and share ideas, arguments, and concepts on psychology and the human mind. These interactions and intellectual conversations create opportunities for further research into the field.
Moving forward, I believe I`m capable of handling all challenges that come with joining the university. I acknowledge my hurdles in supporting myself, but I`m determined to push forward regardless of what lays ahead. I also have to be wary of time management as I have to create a balance between school, work, and family. Studying psychology demands time and extensive research, yet my job also requires time and concentration. I believe in my ability to remain strong and focused while pursuing the course. Based on my strengths, I`m more than capable of handling extreme pressure and multiple tasks. With available resources and a competent faculty, I will achieve more significant strides within the field of psychology.
