    I have always wanted to help people and to help them better their lives, but I never could figure out how I could make that passion a reality, until the day I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety at age eleven. After that rough period in life, I learned how I could help other people. I could listen to them and try to help them better understand themselves. Life is much easier for a person when they have people who believe in them like a psychologist or therapist. My college plan would be to earn a bachelor, and master degree in Psychology to become a Behavior Analyst.

  • Salvation Army Reflection

    Going into the first experience at the Salvation Army, I had the expectations of the students being fairly well behaved and the facility not being very good or clean. However, it was basically the opposite of what I thought. The students were good for the most part, but at times I found it somewhat difficult just to keep the 5 or 6 that were at my table quiet and sitting still for a couple minutes. I was very impressed with the Salvation Army and I loved how there was that time of separation for K-2 and 3-5 to do homework and receive help. I feel like the students were offered a pretty large amount of freedom by being able to pick their tables and make their own snack.
