"If you can't figure out your purpose, figure out your passion. For your passion will lead you right into your purpose."
Write a short explanation of what you are hoping to accomplish through your senior project topic.
Senior Project, an entire course of its own, has been designed in order to give students a glimpse of what future careers, educational paths and experiences are like. By forcing students to look into a variety of resources (e.g. hands on learning, interviews, shadowing, etc.) individuals are able to look deeper in a topic of their own selection. Throughout the course of the year, my biggest goals whilst completing my senior project is focused primarily on deciding whether or not psychology is a field that I would like to enter.
Like many of my peers, I am an undecided on the field that I would like to enter. Of course I have my interests, and psychology is one of them, but as far as having a set path I plan on using this year as a test to see if clinical or health psychology is something I should pursue as a future career. I have always known that I want to help people in whatever way that may be - whether it be in an office one-on-one with a client, in a research center, working in law enforcement or even catching criminals.
In addition to establishing my foot stone to my future, a goal which I plan on fulfilling throughout the course of this project is finding the key to a healthy relationship between a psychologist and their patient. This is one of the most essential things for myself to learn because this is a skill that can be applied to life outside of a career. It is one thing to be able to listen to a friend, but a complete other skill to be able to help them keep looking forward and assisting them in finding a solution to their problem.
