Essay on My Interest in the Field of Psychology

Whenever I see someone who looks confused or discouraged, I sometimes wonder what the disturbance is and if there is anything I could do that would inspire them.

I have a very easygoing personality and I love to have fun and laugh. I ask a lot of questions, and I think I am very easy to get along with. Some career goals I have are to graduate high school and go to college. I 'm not quite sure yet which college, but I plan to earn a Master 's degree or a Doctoral degree in school psychology. I would like to find a job I want to keep that I could make a career out of, and just take one day at a time with desire to make the right decisions and live a pleasant life.

That was just the first time I had talked to someone as I did. After that I conversed with other people. I talked to other friends, my parents, even just
