Personal Statement

Inevitably, the future will come, whether tomorrow or next year. My life altering decisions are approaching quickly, but luckily, from the moment I was born I was given the courage and confidence to be a leader in whatever I wanted to pursue. In my future career, my deepest desires and all things in between, my parents led me and my sisters by example to become strong leaders in anything. Their personal careers, life stories and choices help to mold the leader that I will be. My mom, an occupational therapist, sets direct leadership examples for my family. Regularly, my mom works on campus at schools; her case load can become heavy at times, but time management between home and work life is a skill she has mastered. At work, her leadership

While I’m still in High School, I can challenge myself with hard classes and be a leader in those classes to help me taste the real world and get my closer to the career I want to pursue eventually. Without their leadership examples, it would be hard to feel experienced enough to jump into the classes and work so hard at them.

Due to the leading skills I possess, I am working toward credit hours to achieve the goal of a psychology major. I have undeniable confidence that I can become a psychologist because of the examples of leadership my parents
