Psychology
Becoming a Psychologist is a dream to some people. To be able to study people’s mind and to discover new things everyday not only about the human brain but also about yourself is mesmerizing. Some people say that it affects their personal life because they are worried about others and not themselves. They just want to get away for a while just to think but I still believe it’s one of the most rewarding field. Psychologists study the mind, emotions and behavior of humans by observing their actions and how they react to certain situations and environments. There are different types of Psychologists that specialize in specific areas.
Clinical Psychologists help people overcome their rage and personal issues. They have the ability to help individuals in various ways. Clinical Psychologists programs their patient with various exercises in order to help them improve their behavior. Counseling Psychologists gives people advice on how to deal with their problems.

Psychology is the study of the mind and behavior and translates as science of the soul. It is the study of human behavior and deals with how we think, feel, and act. Some areas of psychology are clinical, industrial, physiological, experimental, personality, social, and developmental. Psychologists can work in hospitals, schools, rehabilitation facilities, in public and private clinics or in the research field. They usually treat persons with mental and emotional disorders, so one may ask; why bother with psychology if you do not want to actually work as a psychologist?

There are people who study this science in schools, hospitals, private practices and more. This science also interests me as well. I have already taken psychology in my junior year, and I am currently taking AP psychology in order to gain some credits for college.
