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.

There things I do in my life that are not necessarily eco-firendly but I try my best to be. Today I happened to take two showers today. The first shower was in the mourning after I was done working out. The next shower I took was after I got out of work. I try to keep my showers under ten minutes. There are times when my showers can be fifteen to twenty minutes though that when I have to wash my hair and shave the legs. The reason I try to keep my showers as short as possible so I do not waste that much water. I also had to travel from Queens to the Bronx to my man's house the choice of transportation I choose was public transportation. I have my driver's license but I choose not to own a car and take public transportation instead. I know it is still not good for the environment because buses use gas and trains use electricity which put toxins into the air. I do feel taken public transportation is a little better than driven a personal car because it transport more people in one shoot than just a few people. As well I think people abuse the option of haven a personal car because people will drive just around the block or few blocks away just to go to the store instead of walking. In this day I also went grocery shopping but I did not use the stores plastic or paper bags that store provides I brought my own bags. That I know I'm doing something all around good for the environment because plastic bags are not bio-degradable plus I am not wasting plastic bags.
I do not do much for the environment but I do some things. First I bring my own bags to the supermarket. Second thing I do is recycle my metals and plastics. I also recycle paper two ways. The first way I recycle paper is when I print things if I do not need the paper anymore I will print on the opposite side. The other thing I do is recycle any other paper products. I also try to walk to places instead of taken other means transportation. In my house if I'm not using an electrical appliance I will keep it unplug so it does not use any form of energy. I also use florescent light bulbs because they use less energy plus they last longer and my energy bill is less. As well I do not leave lights on in the house if nobody is using the room or if they are not needed. When I'm out in public and I have garbage i do not just throw it on the floor where I please I wait to dispose of it in the garbage.
I have many different concerns about the environment because it is everything we are surrounded by plus it can slowly destroy us. The drastic temperature changes that have been going on the past few years scares me because it triggers a lot of different things. Such as the glaciers melting at rapid speed will end up leaving us with no fresh water eventually. We as well will see places we love to go visit be buried under water. Another concern of mine is the damage cars are doing to the environment. There is research done all over the world to show we do not need to use oil to run cars that there are other options That wont do damage to the environment. This something people need to start investing in instead of the gas guzzling machines
