Personal Statement.edited 26.02.21

Psychology plays a critical role in one's life, and in some instances, these lessons are learned sub-consciously in that many do not realize. Therefore, it takes one to develop an interest around them to be able to understand what life offers, what one must work on, and what to let go of simply because when growing up, a person experiences many different fields of psychology in their life. The experiences may be in the form of simple interactions in one’s daily activities or emotional distress caused by traumatic experiences, observations from other people, situations, or events in people's lives. Therefore, for these reasons, I chose to major in Psychology and Child Advocacy & Policy because of my passion for understanding psychology more by working with children and families.
