Goals and interests

Career goal

As a psychology student, my goal in life is to become a behavioral and occupational psychologist and therapist with the purpose of helping people with special needs and integrate them to society in a former and proper way. I want to change people's perspectives towards what it means to have special needs and for society to stop seeing this as a disability and a disadvantage. By helping others with needs thrive in the world, I will be able to create a better environment which is essential for progress and prosperity.
