MY CHOSEN IN THE FIELD OF SOCIAL SCIENCES

Most students find it difficult to choose a career path. For senior high school students like
myself, the pressure increases as the end of the semester approaches because the time for us
to decide what course to take is approaching.Choosing one requires a series of considerations
before jumping to conclusions.What we choose determines what kind of life we will have in the
future.”Start creating a vision for yourself, your life, and your career as young as you are” they
say.

People nowadays, particularly young people of this generation, find it difficult to express
their thoughts to their parents or others around them, which can lead to misinterpretation and
even ending their lives because they are unable to share their problems and have no one to talk
to, which is tragic to die with people who are unaware of why such incidents occurred.I myself is
a living proof of an individual who is not fond of venting out what I feel rather hiding it with the
contrast of what I really feel.What motivates me to pursue Psychology in the future is the feeling
of being able to understand people around me and be able to help them.As depressions,anxiety
and loneliness is becoming a rampant problem we cannot deny that those people who are
experiencing these problems are those who feel less assurance or afraid of talking about their
feelings for being scared with the thought that they would be judge.Personally,I don’t want to
share because people cannot understand and they just keep on telling you “that’s too shallow”
for me to worry about.Sharing what you feel meant to be not invalidated but people are just too
cruel to think it is just small because they are not in your shoes at the first place.

I want to become a psychologist not just because I want to understand the thoughts of
different people but help deal with practical problems such as helping people overcome
depression, stress, trauma or phobias.I do believe that pursuing psychology is a perfect career
for me because I am a good listener,open-minded and I advice well based on my experience
where my friends are all open to share their problems to me and even ask for advices which I
really love to do so.

Offering a tremendous opportunity for personal growth, majoring in psychology opens up

a wide range of career opportunities like Guidance counselor, behavior analyst, life coach,
social educator, experimental psychologist, development psychologist, personality psychologist,
social psychologist,environmental psychologist, population psychologist,physiological
psychologist, comparative psychologist, clinical psychologist, school psychologist, industrial
psychologist.teaching and consumer psychologist.After I graduate in college I would love to
become a Psychologist and a professor at the sametime since my first choice is to become a
teacher and I love to become a psychologist too so why not combine it together since it is
possible in the list of career opportunities for Psychology.

Career is a very important thing in one’s life. Whatever career path you choose to follow,
it will impact your life greatly. Your career will define your status in a society in addition to your
lifestyle. In other words, your career will determine your social circle and relationships.If you
chase anything in life chase the things that get you excited about living
