My parents worked very hard to provide as much assistance to my upbringing. They earned just enough to pay for our rent and utilities. I reached a point in my life where higher education is the only way to better my life. I want to break the generational curse that has been imbedded. I volunteered at an education center where my friend was an educator. After the first two weeks, I was hooked. Working directly with children broaden my perspective on my career path. I realized children gravitate towards me, at first I was unsure until I realized I have a calming nature and with that, the children feel comfortable speaking to me and expressing their points of view. Working with children is rewarding; I realized I wanted to help the next generation of children by becoming a child Psychologist. I'm currently in college pursuing my Associate in Arts degree in Psychology by December 2024. I will be transferring to an institution to further my education at a different university. I'm on an accelerated plan to receive a Doctor of Philosophy degree in Psychology. Furthering my college education is a paramount goal of mine. I desire to open my practice to create a safe space for children to develop freely and be able to voice their opinions, while strategizing ways to cope with the children's social psychology. I will learn to implement standards that help educate both parents and the community on the importance of mental health. My goal is to build a community to work alongside others that share interest in focusing on the importance of children's behavioral and mental state.
