Personal Statement: I M Psych Major

Friend: Why are you wasting your time with that class? I never took a psych class but it seems like a waste of time. It seems like other fields are more important.

I wanted to join the class because I am considering being a marriage and family therapist in the future. I definitely learned a lot from this class about the models and theories. I found structural family therapy the most interesting out of all the therapies. I also thought structural family therapy would be very beneficial in my job as a child protective service worker. Having an understanding of the family, their structure, and what problems there maybe is great for this job. Of course, most of my structural mapping is doing to deal with substance abuse in a subsystem. I am also a visual and hands on learner, and being able to see something physically works best for me.

This course has related to my own personal experiences, especially in the subject of anxiety, by informing me about disorders my friend has been suffering from for years. I was never comfortable enough to ask questions or to be the first to bring up the topic, but I always was interested in learning more other than what Google says.

Psychiatry has always weaved its way into the fabric of my life. When I was a young adult watching my father battle with alcoholism was challenging. The only time I witnessed change was once we found a compassionate and understanding Psychiatrist. I marveled at his work, how he applied his medical knowledge and his articulate communication which resonated with his patients. I went on to complete a honors degree in psychology and enter medical school with a focus on psychiatry. I attended various psychiatric lectures within the hospitals and found my psychiatry rotations fulfilling and a perfect fit. At the 2017 APA national conference, my choice to become a psychiatrist became solidified. I met enthusiastic and loving physicians, residents and staff. They illustrated their lifestyles, patient dynamic, and future medical opportunities. My goals

When I registered for this class I was not aware it was the first Psych B5 online course offered at Bakersfield College. I feel very fortunate to have taken it with Dr. Tinoco! Not only did she provide all the necessary information on how to navigate through the course material, but she also took it a step further and provided extra material to make sure every student understood the material. Throughout the weeks, Dr. Tinoco provided feedback, encouraged the students, and clarified any misunderstandings or confusion related to the course material. I would definitely recommend this online course to students who are unable to attend a physical

I found this course to be extremely interesting, and quite frankly I learned a lot of new information. To begin with, Dr. Barr can teach any course because the passion she has for teaching is incredible. I love the fact that she uses real life events to incorporate the materials in her calls. For example, she shared video clips of people dealing with schizophrenia. It’s amazing how even at a young age you can see that something is wrong with the child. There was a video with a baby just looking at something that was not there, which I found intriguing. I am glad to have been able to see how certain families cope with an individual with schizophrenia. One family in particular, literally had to get two apartments one for the new born baby and

Part of my job in the Army is conduct assessments (I'm a Civil Affairs Specialist), and we relied in a check list that includes prices for damages, for example there is a set price for a broken window, door, etc. Based on my past experiences this method worked most of the time, there were very few ocassions where individuals didn't agree with our estimates, but again, those were the guidelines set by the Army and we

Hello! My name is Alexa Blizzard and I am from Palm Beach Gardens, FL. I am majoring in Criminal Justice and minoring in Psychology. What I hope to gain from taking this course is a more in depth understanding of the different aspects regarding the law. In doing so, I hope that I will be more confident in regards to the knowledge that I

Leading up into the class I was both bit nervous and excited, since this was the first time in years that I haven’t taken a class outside of my particular major. As I was going through the course schedule, I had in my mind that I did not just want to take any old class just because I need it to graduate. So I came across developmental psychology and thought to myself that this would be a good fit because I enjoy learning about other people. Once class started, I was a little confused about how it the class was going to be, since I already had the thought in my head that I was going to be learning about people older in age. After understanding more about what I was going to learn from this class, I became much more excited because this is actually affecting me in my personal life now, as my wife is pregnant and due in December. I thought this was a great pre baby learning experience for myself, since each week I had the ability to learn everything from development, prenatal development, physical development, intelligence, temperament and attachment, gender role development, and development of the family.

My desire to help people is a major factor in my decision to become a pharmacist. I have aspired to be a pharmacist since I was in the eighth grade. I have taken several different steps to assist me in attaining my dream. The classes I have completed to aid me with my goal have been very stimulating. I attended a pharmacy camp that truly enlightened me and made me understand how much work it will require to become a pharmacist. I have done other activities as well to improve my goal of becoming a pharmacist. I have visited specific colleges that have pharmacy programs and I have completed research on the job market for a pharmacist and the salary I would receive. My background has prepared me for the work and effort it will involve for me to
