At a very young age, the mind has always intrigued me. I always wondered, "Why do they think like that? Why do they act like that? How can they remember that much? How can they forget?". All these questions pilled in my mind as I got older and older. At first, I did not pay attention to facts and did not bother to look more closely about this topic; everything was just out of my curiosity But then I decided to dig more information about this fascinating thing, and I came into one conclusion; that everything is controlled and worked by the mind.
A lot of my relatives have asked me the reason why I would take Psychology as a major. And quite honestly, in the beginning, it was just because of mere curiosity. I just wanted to be like those mind readers I see in movies and television shows. But now that I am older, I finally figured out a reason why I wanted to take the course; to be a psychotherapist.
A psychotherapist is someone who is trained to treat any mental and emotional problem using psychological methods. I, on the other hand, have a more specific group to help; teenagers. In this generations, suicide is the third leading cause of death among teens and young adults due to depression. A lot of them feel lost and alone in this world, and that is why some decide to end their own lives. To prevent this kind of disaster and devastation in the future, I hope to be a great psychotherapist. A psychotherapist who can prove to the needs that they are not alone, that their are people who cares and people who understand.
