Chapters 1,2,3

In Chapter one I felt like one segment I could relate to were the education and career dilemmas. I want to be a pshychairtist and it's really something that I feel I'm commited to and have really felt like I've made up my mind about the career field I want to go into. The problem I keep having is mostly about medical school. It doesnt matter to me how many years I have to attend, I don't mind that one bit. The problem is really the cost for the most part and the doubt that I won't get in. I feel I just haven't looked hard enough for scholarships and grants that can be given out. It's all about organization and balancing everything to get things done which i lack because there is so much going on in my life already, which is what I will be working on.

In chapter two and three I felt that I expected the results I've gotten in the work values survey and is kind of simliar to my results that I got while takin the Myers Briggs test. I feel like I know what what my interests are and how well I communictae with others depending on the situation. At this point in ones life many still do not what they want, who they are or who they want to be. When I first came to LaGuardia I wanted to actually major in deaf studies because in the high school I went to, the only language they had to offer was American Sign Language and I found myself really interested in the language and kind of inspired to help other people become open minded about the deaf community, but I always thought about being a psychiatrist, I always wanted to help others, teach nd try to get those to have a positive out look on things. When I took a psychology class at LaGuardia I was for sure it was really what i wanted to do.

  1. I agree when you have your career goals set and you know what you want to do in life, its difficult to balance school and your personal life. It is hard enough to just be able to have one career in life and usually when people start to go to college they typically end up changing their career path.
