Personal Statement
I aspire to attain a degree in psychology and to create a positive influence in people’s lives using this education. I have a great passion for psychology and derive great pleasure in understanding and interpreting people’s minds and behavior. My desire for studying psychology started earlier in life when I started understanding that mental health is as important as physical health in an individual. My desire to attain a degree in psychology is therefore fueled by the need to help people evade psychiatric diseases and reduces the effects of various psychiatric diseases. Upon attaining a degree in psychology, I also aim to establish a global movement to create awareness about psychiatric diseases and the need to have the right mental health.
I possess a global mindset and increased cognitive control that give me the experience needed to successfully pursue a degree in psychology. I attained the global mindset and open-mindedness out of living in various countries and interacting with different groups of people in these countries that I have lived in. I have lived in Spain, Netherlands, Italy, and Dubai. I attained significant experience in cultural competence and learnt how to embrace new challenges. The open-mindedness also enabled me to have better problem-solving skills due to the situations of encountering many types of problems in these countries. Living in these countries also enabled me to acquire significant critical thinking skills to solve the various problems encountered in the process of living in these countries. Interaction with various cultures also enabled me to appreciate the various activities done by people in appreciation of their culture. This experience will make my learning process easier and will fasten the process of attaining my degree in psychology. I will also use this experience of living with different people to have easier interactions with my colleagues in the learning process, for better results.
I am trilingual, and this adds to the experience needed to successfully pursue a degree in psychology. I have excellent oral and written skills in Italian, Spanish, and English languages. This trilingual nature is a significant asset in my process of attaining a degree in psychology. These skills will make my learning process easier and will make easier my interactions not only with other students but also with my professors and instructors. This skill will also enable me to effectively translate reading material to enable me to have better understanding skills and shorten the process of attaining a degree in psychology.
I have a significant passion for horse riding that improved my independence levels and served to improve my self-esteem. Horse riding has been my passion since childhood, and the activity has significantly helped to improve my mental health. Through horse riding, I have managed to escape psychiatric problems such as stress and depression. This knowledge is significantly useful in my goal to attain a degree in psychology. I will use this knowledge to advise people on methods that they can use to maintain and improve their mental health and other ways in which a person can gain self-control.
I also possess significant educational qualifications attained from my schooling activity in Gems World Academy Dubai. This school gave me a global insight on how to live and socialize with other people to attain maximum benefits. The school helped me gain a multicultural perspective in life since I schooled along with students from other 83 nationalities. Through this aspect, I derive significant respect and appreciation for other people’s cultures and cultural activities. I also gained significant diversity skills in that I can live in a place with a different culture from mine and co-exist peacefully with these people.
I will derive significant benefits from learning my degree program in psychology in the UK. The UK has enough schooling resources that will enable me not only to attain my aspired degree in psychology but will also lay a platform for furthering my education in the field of psychology. The UK also offers a conducive learning environment in terms of the availability of highly qualified teaching personnel, who will impart beneficial psychological skills to me. My trilingual nature will enable me to effectively communicate with this teaching personnel to attain maximum benefits. I will also derive significant pleasure in learning in the prestigious world-class schools in the UK.
I aim to reduce the negative effects of psychiatric diseases in society. I aim to create a global awareness to reduce the prevalence of mental diseases and reduce the prevalence of social, economic, and psychological effects of suffering from various mental illnesses. I also aim to mobilize resources globally to enable this mental awareness program to reach even the most remote areas to reduce the prevalence of mental illnesses and advocate for improved mental health. Schooling in the UK will enable me to get global connections from my fellow students and professors to ensure that the intended objective is met. I also aim to employ technological advancements such as the use of the internet to improve the mental health of individuals globally. The attainment of a degree in psychology will act as a vital platform for this course.
