I have decided to undertake a career path in psychology.

I can recall quite vividly embarking on this journey into psychology

and all it entails. It began fairly early in my life, as I have been
fascinated with how the human mind works. But it was upon reading
"The Lucifer Effect” by Phillip Zimbardo that challenged me to think
outside the box and go beyond the mere concept of a person being
evil but rather to shed light on how our society is inadvertently
responsible.

Given that my interests and passion lie in psychology, I am of the

opinion that I have the required disposition for such a course.
I have a love for books. In fact, I am a voracious reader with an
appetite for knowledge and deeper comprehension of ideology.
I am self-motivated and I have a propensity to delve into my sphere
of interest entirely. My skillset varies from research to
communication and adaptation. I am proved to be an effective
researcher with efficient skills to document data in psychology
classes.

I have had the opportunity of taking psychology as a school subject in

my 11th and 12th grades which was a tremendous introduction.
In grade 11 my hard work paid off and I achieved an A. This is a clear
example of my dedication to my academic path but also a reflection
of my hard work ethic.

I am prepared for the challenges life at university would present me.

At the age of seven I moved from Russia to India. This colossal life
change made me more independent and I am now comfortable
being outside my comfort zone. I am very open to change. In fact, I
embrace it. This has allowed me to adapt to new environments easily
and will facilitate a smooth transition to life abroad at university.
I have had scarcely any opportunities to engage in the external
activities due to long lasting Covid restrictions in India. However,
I’m proud of my achievements in the Olympiads which involved
translating complex texts from French to English and being among
the few to have achieved a gold medal over two consecutive years.
This is a testament to my determination, diligence and ability to
learn languages quickly.

I like sports, especially football. I started to play female football in

the high school which is a means of exercise and enjoyment for me
as well as an opportunity to participate in a team sport. Playing
football improved my ability to work as part of a team and built up
my confidence.

My work experience includes working at the family restaurant. My

duties are: waiting on tables, bartending and managing payments.
Qualities I gained while working at the restaurant that relate to the
course are: punctuality, tolerance and patience, effective time
organizational skills, managing multiple duties at once, clear and
concise communication with people from a variety of background.

I’m excited about the opportunity to study psychology at the

University of Padua. My goal is to enhance my knowledge on
psychology, and work to help discover more about the human mind.

Further it can be eighter this phrase

Ultimately, I would like to gain enough theoretical and practical
knowledge experience in order to implement the fundamentals and
concepts in our society in my future work.
Or this one, because you need to speak about goal in the future as
work

Therefore, the knowledge gained from the course I can apply in

better the society in my future work.
In order to be best prepared and qualified, I have chosen to study
psychology at the university of Padua. *Though my 12th year grades
may not meet certain requirements, I can assure you that being
equally goal and result oriented combined with my passion for
psychology as well as motivation to experience an academic
environment will be reflected in my high performance at your
university.

any way.
