Goals and interests
- Career goal
I chose psychology because I want to become a therapist. I've experienced a lot of trauma as a child and in Africa therapy isn't a big thing and mental health is not something that a lot of people know about. However, when my family moved to the States I thought it was interesting and having someone to talk to and help understand life better made me realize that I would like to give to my community.
- Graduate school interests
I hope that after I graduate I could go to a great school of psychology so that I can learn more.
- Outside the classroom
I love music and dancing. I love talking to people and playing my piano sometimes. I also love hanging out with friends and trying new foods.
