"If money didn't matter, what job or career would you go for?" - ANON
I would want to be a psychiatrist. I've always been that person that people come to for advice and to get things off their chest. I've been told that I'm full of good ideas and coping mechanism and that I am a very good listener. I get joy from being able to help people through their problems because in my life, when i was going through a hard time, I really never had anyone that I could truly lean on and run to confide in.
I've been involved in the mental health system since i was thirteen years old and I know my way around it pretty well. I've studied things pretty in depth and have a basic knowledge for most things. I would greatly love to pursue a career in which every day I make my own little steps to make the world a d better place and to help those that are suffering not from the world around them, but from their own inner demons.
I would specifically like to work with adolescents and young adults because I feel I could greatly connect with them and be able to help them not only through medicinal knowledge but through my own empathic ways and my own life experiences. I know how hard it is to be a teenager and sent to some shrink that knows nothing about struggle except what they've read in text books, and then have them tell you what you should be doing to make your life better. It's a very hard feeling and I would like to make a positive personal impact on at least one persons life through this field.
