Psychology - Why?

I shall post a short note which I believe is going to remind me someday of why I choose psychology, and why I should keep on keeping on.

1. Cause I believe I have the potential to impact life. And psychology will give me a better understanding of human behavior and response to a certain situation.With such knowledge, I will be further equipped to understand and help improve the living condition of many people.

2.  Because I'm curious on why different things give different response... For example, Justin Bieber. Why most people (or at least me) don't like him? Or why are the high schoolers going crazy about him? And Rebecca Black... Friday? Why would so many people view her Youtube clip even though the song is annoying?

3. Because I enjoy analyzing data/results from a specific study. Spreadsheets after spreadsheets of data makes me happy... Seeing the result of a particular study and knowing that the result is able to bring change to the society is even better.

4. Cause I'm still holding on to a little new dream of mine to get a master in Criminal Psychology. A line of study that I'm excited and curious to find out more... And I believe it's a really good reason to keep me going cause most master student pursuing a specific course like this are on scholarship... And they are usually abroad and cost a bomb! And yeah, it's the closest that I would get to Forensic Science (which my mum dreaded and would not approve).

And my first day of orientation here in Help... Hmmm... Nothing much to brag about. But I love the down-to-earth spirit in the lecturers. Orientation as per usual has lots of talking by different people. But, I'm motivated and encouraged to start the course!

Well, this degree is for me... Not something that I'm doing to live up to some other people expectation, or something to please people. It's for me! First class honor is mine! And this course is not just something I do cause I need a qualification. But rather, my mindset is shifted today. This process of learning is one that will make a difference to the society that I am in. I am going to be a world class psychologist making a difference to the world!

P/s: You can tell how much I wanted this... At last, it's something for myself (not the people around me). Cheers!
