Phuture Psychologist?
This past Wednesday I took a trip down to Edgewood College in Madison, Wisconsin. They offered potential freshman a chance to attend classes and get to know the school. I have to say that my favorite class to sit in on was Psychology: Development and Growth. Previous to my trip, I was intimidated by college to say the least. I expected everyone, both teachers and students, to be extremely smart. The teacher for Psychology was such a character. She was an elderly lady who really got into what she was doing. At the beginning of the class, she handed out a sheet of questions to everyone, including me. The questions were about “bonding” between a child and their parent(s) and I could actually answer them, correctly that is. We spoke about ways a child, directly after birth, must immediately have contact with their mother to begin a proper relationship. Animals were also a topic of the day regarding how they are more physically capable at birth than humans, just as we talked about in AP Psych. Attending this class made me realize that psychology is a topic I really enjoy learning about. Who knows, I may possibly want to study it in college.
