The beginning of university.

It was the beginning of college. I started thinking about my career. I had to make an important choice.

Choice 1 : Do my homework and study every week.

Choice 2 : Watch TV in my free time.

Do my homework and study every week for my bachelor.

It was the middle of the semester, I have been doing good since the beginning of the semester, and I intend to do like this until the end. Since I have started university, my teachers had given us plenty of homework. To help me about my time management, I will try to do my homework at least 1 to 2 days before it’s due. I will not put it aside, and I will be thorough. This way, I will be able to do my homework with more attention, instead of rushing all of the time. It is really maddening and exhausting to do so. In exams period, I will plan which class to study for each day, like that I will have a lot of confidence, and I will be able to concentrate and pull off straight A’s.

Choice 1 : Go to work after my bachelor degree.

Choice 2 : Continue study for a master.

Watch TV in my free time.

It was the middle of the semester, I have been doing good since the beginning of the semester, and I intend to do like this until the end. Since I have started university, my teachers had given us plenty of homework. Today, I am sure homework can wait, I will watch some TV just to relax. Since the middle of the semester and up until now I have been procrastinating. Today I received my final results. I have failed all of my courses. I lost motivation in continuing my bachelor degree. School is not for me anymore.

Choice 1 : The beginning of university.

Go to work after my bachelor degree.

I have finished my bachelor degree, and today is the first day work in a nursing home. I got hired by the HR. I am not a psychologist but with my degree I can practice some of the things I learned at university. I am happy that I have found a job, I was skeptical that with just a bachelor degree it would have been just dead-ends job for me. Having just a bachelor degree have some advantages and some disadvantages, but in my case it worked well for me. My first day of work today, and I am a trainee. I will be on-the-job-training for at least three months. Before hiring me, the HR did some background check on me. It was a vacant position, and I am super lucky that I got it. The person who had this position for personal reasons took a leave of absence. I hope everything will be okay, and I will have great relationship with my colleagues. I would hate to the recipient of some office politics. I hate misconducts, and sexual harassment. I pray that everything will work well, I can see myself working in that nursing home until my retirement. Have a good pension for my old days sounds wonderful to me. I already have a foot in the door. Today it was my first day at work, I loved it. Today it was also my last day at work. The morning went well, I paid extra attention to what my trainer was saying, and I did everything he taught me with extra precaution. Unfortunately I was unprofessional. At 1 P.m, I had a patient. He came in and sat down, everything was going well until he started flirting with me. The flirtation moment was so unbearable, it makes me sick to my stomach. I have a family and a husband, beside my patient is not the most attractive human being I have ever seen. He wasn’t my type at all. I lost my temper when he stand up, and approached me. He tried to touch my face and without thinking I slapped him pretty hard in the face. In my head it was a big misconduct, but I admit I over reacted a little bit. There is no place for violence at work. After my slap, my patient abruptly left, and a few minutes later my trainer was there. My patient explained what happened, but in a way he seemed the victim. I was so shocked at my own reaction that I didn’t find the strength to argue and defend myself. Violence is never the answer, so I accepted my trainer decision’s. He fired me immediately.

Choice 1 : The beginning of university.

Continue study for a master.

I have worked hard for where I am today, and I will continue to do so. I will work hard to obtain my master in psychology.

Choice 1 : Continue study for a Ph. D.

Continue study for a Ph. D.

I have worked hard for many years now, and it is almost the end. I will obtain my Ph. D in a few months now.

Choice 1 : Finally Psychologist.

Finally Psychologist.

Being a psychologist can not be for everyone, to do such a career you have to enjoy helping people, and be willing to learn every day and grow in the process. It’s a challenging career, who has the most noteworthy advantages and disadvantages. A psychologist will study all aspects of the mind, by searching and performing examinations on it. (30% work at Health facilities, 40% in positions such as counsel ours, educators, and researchers.) Psychologists employed in research settings often spend a great amount of time developing hypotheses and collecting data. Some psychologists can use lab experiments, while others can use naturalistic observation for their hypotheses and data. Questionnaires, clinical studies, surveys, and interview are also as methods by the psychologist doing research. Psychologists in healthcare settings often spend a considerable amount of time working directly with clients. There they will be diagnosing mental health disorders, performing psychotherapy. In the healthcare, a psychologist will work as a team with the doctors, nurses, and other therapists for the sake of the patients. Psychologists may work in a wide variety of settings, including schools, universities, hospitals, private clinics, government offices, corporations, and small businesses.

Choice 1 : Go private.

Choice 2 : Work for the government.

Go private.

Working for a facility wasn’t for me. I was born to be my own boss. I love doing overtime, and by working privates and managing my own time I make a lot of money. My income is better than before. Money is one of the advantages of this career but helping people is the most important one I think. I feel like I have purpose in life now. I choose to be a psychologist to break all the stereotype about that career. In psychology there are many branches, there is behavioural science, humanistic, cognitive science, psychoanalysis and many more. I have the motivation and determination to do this job. I will give my patient all my attention. I will keep all of my emotions for myself and always work in a no judgment environment. My patients are seeking help and that is exactly what I will give them. Intelligence, patience, and motivation. I hope they and I will have good relationship.

Choice 1 : The beginning of university.

Work for the government.

Working for the government is the best choice that I could have made. I love working for the hospital. I do a lot of overtime, but I don’t mind, I love the drive of work. I was hesitant in working for a school or for the hospital. In the end, I chose this hospital. Best decision ever. In there I have a lot of colleagues, like nurses, therapists, and even doctors. The dangers of being a psychologist are extensive education and training. Most psychologists spend many years in higher education. Evening and Weekend Hours. Possibility of Patient Violence. Isolation in Practice. Emotional Strain.Working with children can be challenging. It has been 3 years since I worked for the hospital. 2 years after I started working at the hospital, I had an accident. I fell off the stairs from the 3rd floor, ne I broke my 2 legs. Since then, I have been in a wheelchair. After the accident, it took me a whole year to be able to live again. I had depression. Losing part of me changed my all perception of life, and I had to learn how to live again but now with no ability to walk ever again. It took me a long time to coop, and with a lot of self-working and many therapies I am able to live again. I have a lot of resilience. Today marked 6 months since I started working again as a psychologist. Now, I work with patients who need a lot of help. They are people who have mental disorders, who have a lot of suicidal thoughts and who lost all motivation for life. Yes, I do work in my field of study. My job is my passion. I do work as a psychologist besides losing the ability to walk, but I do it by zoom meetings. I have worked hard on regaining my strength and confidence, but I am not ready yet to go physically to work. My wheelchair and my home will be my comfort zone.
