My Goal

For the longest I can remember I have always had people around me to support me and tell me to follow my passion. I have been lucky as well to be surrounded by people that have followed there passions which have inspired me to follow my own. I have come across many different people that have told me I need to have one thing I should want to do with myself, especially people in my schooling have told me this. Then one day someone told me you can have many passions in life that you want to complete some will be more important than others but that is for you to choose but just do what you love and enjoy. I always agreed with that person because there are many different things a I want to do with my life.

Since I have been in High School some where in my freshmen year I wanted to get into the field of psychology. When I first graduated high school I did not get into college right away I took sometime off and just worked. I realized working was not going to allow me to follow one of my biggest passions which is to work in psychology. Since I had messed up in high school and did not have the greatest GPA I decided to go to LaGuardia Community College to get focus on what I wanted to do again. After this semester I will graduate with an Associates in Liberal Arts Social Science and Humanities. From there I am going to attend either Queen or Hunter College to get my Bachelors in psychology and eventually lead to my PhD in psychology.

With my in PhD I feel I will be able to help people in many different ways . One thing I want to focus on is all the psychological drugs that are being prescribe to our children and adolescence. I feel a lot of children and adolescences are being mis-diagnosed or over prescribed drugs. I do not over object the use of psychological drugs because they are needed at times but I want to see them used properly. I feel people are becoming to dependent on drugs and there needs to be a real change.
