Since birth, I have always been faced with obstacles that I overcome positively. I’ve grown an interest in psychology throughout my high school career. Many things in life continue to push me to be the greatest student, child, and soon-to-be Psychiatric therapist. My interest in psychology has grown tremendously due to personal obstacles I have faced throughout my lifetime. My interest in psychology will give me the ability to provide important services to individuals facing mental illness. Mental illness is a very serious matter and is usually something that is taken lightly in the black and minority community. I want to be able to shed light on the obstacles minorities face in their communities and spread awareness of this matter, I will also be able to educate the communities on ways to cope with mental illness and not let it control lives. This Spanish course has helped me learn Spanish and different Spanish speaking cultures, this will allow me to better communicate with Spanish-speaking minorities. With that being said come along with me on this journey.
