About
My name is Katelynn Poston, and I am one of countless amounts of unique and amazing people. I encounter many people on a day-to-day basis and I focus on people and how they like to perceive the world and how the world perceives them. As many people have described me, they tend to have one word for how they perceive me: Curious. That is exactly how I am, curious. I am curious about how people interact, I am curious about how children act, and I am curious about they way people think and what makes them tick.
I am a 19 year old Freshman college student attending Louisiana Tech University studying Psychology. Psychology is all I am about currently, I research it, study it, learn, talk, and inquire about it, it is my world right now. I once was studying Family Child Studies, which was nice but not my exact field to be involved in, it didn't relate to my passions enough. This resulted in my major switch to what I do today. One thing I admire about myself is my impulsive but conservative seeking of people's quirks and their emotions. Observing them is my favorite thing to do, especially children. I do not document my observations, but I do take a mental note. It's a hobby currently, later it will be my job.
I have all my life been in the background. At school, on the playground, in groups, at dances, in class, at events, and even home. I did not necessarily hate it, but it taught me that people are selfish and genuine at the same time. It is very fascinating to me.

Goals and interests
- Career goal
My intended job path is one that I have thought about since I was little. I felt the need to become someone that helps and builds up a child's mood or state of mind that they themselves do not have consciousness over. I plan to graduate with a bachelor's in Psychology, and in my major I want to pursue the concentration field of Child Psychology. It has been my passion to work with and around kids since I was one. After college, I will pursue a job in my field in which I will have already had internships in at a place here in my college town of Ruston, LA or Monroe, LA. I plan to help children of all ages cope and work through problems they're both not knowing of and having troubles with. It is the sole reason I feel I am put on this Earth for.
- Graduate school interests
I currently do not have a huge interest in grad school, mostly because I am unsure on the requirements and financial aspects of the idea, but if it will help me in becoming the Child Psychologist I am dreaming to be, teach me the incredible ways about doing my job, and enlighten me about my career further, then I am one to look into it for my future endeavors. I am extremely passionate about my future.
- Outside the classroom
My hobbies are ones that are not normal to one's point of view, but they are my favorite pastimes. I like to sit and dwell on many thing on a micro and hyper-detailed level, such as dreams or ways of thinking about a certain instance. I also like to write straight out of books or the dictionary, not necessarily do I write and create poems, novels, or stories, but just writing in general, you can call it copying texts. Another hobby of mine is to listen to music and find quirks about them, certain noises or sounds that stand out among the rest of the music components, it gives my mind a piece of mind. Lastly, my favorite pastime is observing people and how they speak, act, and their facial and body motions. I tend to notice a lot about a person, such as their way of saying a certain word, or their one reoccurring movements they tend to make while speaking, or even they way their eyes move while speaking to me, you'd be surprised at what you can see in one's eyes.
