Personal Statement: Exercise Science And Psychology Double Major

797 Words4 Pages

To be honest I am still not sure what I want to do after I graduate. Growing up and adventuring through life you often hear people make statements such as “I am going to be an engineer when I grow up”, or “I would love to be a cook one day”. However, for me, I never had the desire to make one of those statements and if I am being completely open I have yet to figure out what my ideal statement would be. In the fall of 2017 I will be starting my Junior year at Hope College. Most people at this point have their life planned out, have their major chosen, and have an advisor that can help them. I’m different. This summer is being used as a self-exploration summer to hopefully decide my “calling” in life.

I came into college thinking that maybe Occupational Therapy would be a fun job. Hence why I am taking this class. If I ultimately want to be on the Pre-OT Tract I will be an Exercise Science and Psychology double major. Therefore, my four year plan assignment is for that option that is weighing on my shoulders.

As usual, I never have an answer for …show more content…

What do I want to do after I graduate and why? I want to be happy, I want to help those who are not as fortunate, and I want to be able to see the affect my job has on the world. Whether that job is being a doctor, teacher, or janitor, I just want to help others and be able to put a smile on their face. That would be my “dream job”- someone who helps others and spreads love. I think it would be awesome, to be able to go back to Honduras after I graduate and help the people there even more. The people that I met on that trip always had a positive outlook despite their situations, they never took anything for granted, and they were genuine, caring, and selfless individuals. After I graduate I want to surround myself with more people that have those attributes. That being said, maybe my dream job is to work with Global Brigades bringing the holistic model of health to those in need by being a doctor, a translator, or working with a different aspect of their

Do you remember in kindergarten when the teacher would ask the class what they wanted to be when they grew up? The answers usually consisted of firemen, doctors, princesses, cowboys, or an astronaut. Then there was always the teacher’s pet who of course said they wanted to be a teacher (typical). Well college is a lot like kindergarten. Your advisor asks you,” what do you want to do with your life after college”, but this time the answers don’t come as easily.

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.

There 's always the one question in life that gets asked, “What do you want to do when you grow up?” Even when students or adults are all grown up they still ask that question. The thing is, they will always question themselves, they will question themselves until they believe they accomplished their goals. Furthermore, finding a college without a certain career in mind is difficult. Even if someone does have their mind set on a career it’s still challenging, because they don 't know if that college is best for them.
