Statement of Educational Purpose
Psychology has remained a constant in my future projections since high school. I attended a psychology symposium where I got more information on the profession. One thing stood out from the symposium– it is vital to help people whenever they need assistance. There are many aspects in psychology and I would like to explore each and every one of them. I intend to focus more on counselling and biopsychological psychology because they contain aspects that are in line with my vision. I have researched extensively on these two disciplines and I would like to study in your institution to expand my knowledge and get the right footing in the psychology profession.
My past has been a contributor to my career choice. Several of my friends have gone through psychological issues and they did not know what they had to do to get better. Therapy sessions were expensive and some of them took their lives. The experience piqued my interest and I decided to study psychology so that I can help people going through mental health issues, especially those that do not have money for therapy sessions. I want to learn how to save the world, in my unique way.
My psychology experience started after the symposium. I attended several workshops, after high school, which gave me more interest in the profession. We undertook several projects that gave me a new outlook in psychology. I conducted my research and found that your institution offers the best packages and courses in psychology; hence I would like to attain my bachelor’s degree in it. Once I get my degree, I would like to volunteer in several institutions and offer my expertise to the people that need it. I would also like to get my masters in psychology so that I could get into the psychology consulting business. Getting the right footing in psychology would be a rewarding experience for me.
