Tomorrow, I can see myself working hard to get good grades, focusing on school work, and having a good time with my friends (like any other teen). In two years, I can see myself graduating high school with satisfaction and more determination than ever, and being proud of what I’ve so far accomplished. In ten years, I can see myself finally becoming the doctor I’ve set out to be. One thing I’m still deciding on is a specialty, rather it be cardiology, oncology, radiology, or something else. I’ve been looking into hematology (the study of blood) and oncology ( the study of tumors).

If I could decide my future right now, this very second, I would definitely decide to become a doctor. I’ve always been interested in working in the medical field, and even more interested when I learned about all of the different specialties you can look into when becoming a doctor. One thing I love about becoming a doctor is the fact that there is an endless list of things you can do, which gives you the chance to find out what you’re really good at and love. …show more content…

My interests for the implications of human behavior were found during my first psychology introductory course during freshman year of college. It was not until I enrolled in a Brain and Behavior course that I learned I was only scratching the surface of what I know now is my passion for psychology. My personal interest revolves around the possibility to monitor and track neuronal behavior and how that same behavior works in a circuit feeding off neurotransmission, ending in physical behavior. Furthermore, how that process can serve in preemptive measures in helping ameliorate many child mental disorders. This aspect of psychology truly sparks curiosity in my academic life leading me to want to go further than theory.
