old and that brought big change in my life. At that time, my mother was doing jobs even on the weekends to maintain family finance. I knew that it was hard for my mother to overcome with life alone. I desperately wished for someone who discussed her issues when she felt down and guided to solve her concerns. From then on, I became the only person supporting my mother. I was also having a hard time adjusting to this family separation, increasing responsibilities as an older child, and living apart from my father. We moved several times, therefore I switched schools many times. It was tough for me to be accustomed to the different environments. Albeit this challenging and sad experience had also a positive impact for me to learn how to interact with many different people and helped me to build resilience in my life. When I was in middle school, I volunteered at a special education school. Not only I developed my teamwork skills but also, I found out that I enjoy helping people. By understanding this, I will never stop helping people. In 2019, I went to Australia to learn English for a year. It was difficult to live far away from my home. I had to study online in year 11 in Mongolia due to Coronavirus. It was the busiest year of my life. I studied in Australia with my mother’s hard-earned money, so I was under the pressure that I have to learn English perfectly in my mind. It made it stressful to learn. Fortunately, my school provides counselling services for students. My aunt’s encouragement and school counselling services helped me a lot by mentally and emotionally. That was the time I realized the value of a psychologist and how they affect people. I felt better in a brief period of time with their support. My aunt told me that there is a person in every organization who helps people with their mental health. But why was this service not available at my mother's organization? If my mother had received psychological counselling at her tough times, maybe she would have overcome herself smoothly and loving herself in every moment of her life. Little version of me sincerely wanted to make my mother feel better, now I want to help many people like my mother who cannot deal with their difficulties and work problems. By studying organizational psychology in Hungary, I will acquire world-class education. So, I am confident that the knowledge and skills I gained in Hungary will help me to improve public mental health while I work in my home country. If possible, I would like to volunteer at Hungarian psychological organizations during my last semesters. Moreover, I was one of the top three students in my school and I always did my work on time. I think this habit helps me a lot in my studies and stick to my plan. I have not had the opportunity to visit Hungary before, but I have never given up on my dream of studying there. I am sure that this program will support me to obtain my dream profession in a dream country to help people to find their best version of themselves.
