Answer 1

My goals are to pursue an academic career in psychology which involves teaching and research in the field of psychology. I decided to go to college when was about 18 years of age and had just finished my 12th grade. I chose a well known college in my city, i chose this college as the psychology program was well renowned in this college and the faculty was also very good. My parents paid my tuition fees at college, and it was my first time at college. I experienced very few difficulties early on, as the transition from school to college was fairly smooth. The only issue i faced was that i had no ready made notes and had to make my own notes through various sources. I expected college to be like school where everything is bound by rules and regulations, but it turned to be very flexible and encouraged creativity. I think, more practical experience of psychology will help me relate to the field even better.
