Growing up I had dreams of being a high achiever I wanted to be a veterinarian then soon realized I was too emotionally attached to animals to do the reality of the job. Years go on with a rough up bringing I lost hope, I didn’t understand my purpose. In high school I loved law and arguing my point of view so I took several law classes and realized theres a lot of loop holes and I researched about the career and found would take a lot of time not jus for schooling but to work it daily and a lot of lawyers complained they don’t have family time so I crossed that off. I continued research and found Nursing I did a research paper on the entire career in high school and was still going to pursue it when I found out from experience biology wasn't my strong suit and that was the most important subject for RN but also a requirement for RN is to take Introduction to Psychology and I remembered how much I loved Psychology in high school it was just very intimidating so I set it aside but once reminded in semester 2 I changed my major to Psychology because I remember those nights I was so depressed with the abuse and poverty that I would contemplate life from ages 11-14 at 14 is when I had a near death life experience that changed a lot and once I could think straight I said to myself “ I never want anyone to feel the way I did” so I started opening up to people around me so they can talk from a young age I was aware my father mentally wasn’t right so I would research and research for possible answers while just listening to conversations around me taking mental notes for more research and it became a belief I can already argue so well on how what your feeling is coming from within, from the brain and together we can get to the center of the problem so thats when I knew this was the path I needed to take.
