      Our Destiny Our Future Scholarship
      How I plan to make a positivize impact on the world is mainly to try and help people who are in great need. I know how much people struggle with their mental and the world around them. I would love to help everyone that I can in the future, that's why I made my path to be a mental health therapist and follow down the path to psychology. I made this plan while I was just a sophomore. A few years back I would say almost near pandemic times I had a few friends who weren't in the best mind state at the moment, and they really needed someone to talk to. That was my first ever practice out of my entire life. I gave them the most feedback I could because they were having a lot of bad thoughts of wanting to harm themselves and knowing me, I would never want anyone to ever have to go through any of it especially as a child. So, I told them that if they've ever needed anything that I would always be there for them. I know that because of me I saved a few more lives and now they get to live on because of the words I spoke to them. I know that I could make a great impact on the world because in this economy no one is alone, no one at all, they just need a shoulder to lean on, and someone they can always rely on. Being a therapist has always been a part of my daily life, I never knew how much people needed encouragement, I never knew how long these people have been hurting and suffering with no one to listen. Me being a psychologist/Therapist gives me the opportunity to do what I've always wanted, to help people in need. Adults, new adults, pre-teens, old age, children, even down animals we are all similar in many different ways and all it takes is for a conversation and some encouraging words. The world would probably be so much greater if we just had conversations with those in need of it. We could learn their sides, we could learn about their childhoods, how and why they suffer from the things they do. Being a part of other people's lives is not a crime, wanting to know their past is not a crime. What is a crime is letting them suffer alone, making them feel like they have to be quiet. That's not something I want my economy to go through. I want change and I want change for the better, that's how I will make an impact on the world, by doing something I love for others.
