Ever heard the saying don't judge a book by it's cover? Well when people ask me what I want to be when I grow up they think I'll say something like basketball or football player but they're wrong. I mean all that's fine but my dream job is a little more realistic and important than that. When I grow up I want to be a Psychologist, not an athlete or a hip-hop/r&b artist. Don't get me wrong I love sports and music just as much as the next teen but to me they're just hobbies not a long-term goal.
I graduated from Central high School of Philadelphia in the 25% of my class, that's pretty amazing given the fact that I graduated with 500+ other students. I know it's not perfect but hey I'm average. I'm motivated, hard working, dedicated and ambitious to reach my goals. No matter what anyone tells me I will succeed, overcoming and defeating any and every obstacle in my way. People tell me all the time that because of who I am or where I'm from I wont achieve my goals. I respond "where I'm from is who I was and who I was is who I am, I change for no one and all of my success and failure is a product of my own creation. So take as I am or watch me as I go." I do not let things like that get to me, I'm honest and I cannot help it. I refuse to lie in order to spare another person's feelings because sometimes all people want is the truth. I am an excellent people person and I'm very understanding, in other words, I can see from both sides of the fence.
I want to be a psychologist because I feel like every now and again someone somewhere needs a shoulder to lean on or someone to come to for advice and I feel as though I am that person for whoever needs me. so if I could help them with their problems why shouldn't I help others. the type of psychology that I favor most in Forensic Psychology, which is the study of criminology or the study of criminal behavior that's associated with serial killers, psychopaths, etc. However, I am most likely to be an average Psychologist like the ones who study psychological illnesses and promote it's improvement.
