MyEducationsImpact


Upon graduating college with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology, I intend to continue my education toward a Master’s in Clinical Psychology, then a Ph.D., and while doing so I plan to work as a mental health assistant. As a mental health assistant I intend to impact the lives of children, young adults, and adults who suffer from psychological disorders and behavioral problems. Those who suffer from psychological disorders and behavioral problems have daily functioning problems that cannot be prevented, but they can be better prepared to handle how they react to such adverse functioning, disorders, and problems. In the mental health assistant field I will assist, educate, and work toward bettering the lives and further the future lives who those who suffer from psychological disorders and behavioral problems.
Some of society does not have enough empathy, compassion, understanding, or education to know that suffers of disorders and behavioral problems are not a problem for society, or cannot function in society; in fact they can be a productive part of society. Therefore, as a mental health assistant, it is my job to prepare those who suffer from psychological disorders and behavioral problems for adverse social thinking. By working as a mental health assistant I can better prepare and further educate those who suffer from disorders and behavioral problems to achieve personal, life, and career goals as well as better prepare those to become productive members of society who is not completely hindered by their disorders and behavioral problems.
In doing so, society may become more empathic, understanding, and accepting of those who suffer from psychological disorders and behavioral problems like I have. Working as a mental health assistant better prepares me for completing graduate school and to become a clinical psychologist. Then as a clinical psychologist, I can continue to impact the lives of those who suffer from psychological disorders and behavioral problems, and to better prepare society to be more empathic, compassionate, and understanding.
