Hello everyone! My name is Alicianna Flores and I am currently a sophomore here at Old Dominion University. I am majoring in psychology with a minor in public service. An academic goal of mine is to enter the honors program in psychology here at ODU. Upon receiving my B.S in psychology, I plan on going on to graduate school in either speech or occupational therapy. I am taking this course not only because it fulfilled an academic requirement of mine, but also because of the fact that I am interested in the similarities psychology shares across cultures. I am also very interested in any differences that may be present and the reasons for that. My specific interests in psychology would be developmental. I love learning about how we change as we grow and how our thought process evolves. I also am interested in educational psychology. I would love to learn how children best learn and what methods best foster cognitive development.
