Hello! My name is Mikyma. I am a newly admitted freshman at California State University Long Beach with the ambition to become an inspiring therapist! I intend to major in Psychology and what interests me the most about this major is that it is used to grasp a better understanding of people and provide insight. This insight can be used in promoting physical and mental health. It aids in improving the quality of life which is very useful especially during these times. Growing up as a minority, I have noticed how many children suffer from mental illnesses. I know from past experience how hard it is to open up to others about the thoughts that your brain acquires, especially when those who you are opening up to look nothing like you. When I reached out about my declining mental health, I found myself so uncombable due to the lack of diversity in the office. I want to become a clinical therapist because we live in a world where representation matters, and I want to be that person to console children just like me and let them know not to be afraid to open up. I intend to help children cope with these obstacles that life may bring. I have experienced an incredible transformation due to psychology and I want to help aid others in their transformation towards becoming more loving and compassionate people. From first-hand experience, when you accept yourself for who you are, you become more loving and compassionate towards others. Being able to experience this kind of growth for myself has inspired me to pursue a career in psychology.
