Hello people! My journey with psychology has been a little different.
Most people study psychology in their high school and develop interest and later, decide on pursuing it as their career, which is not my case. I had literally 0 knowledge about psychology as a subject.
Flashback to my HSC examinations, I passed with distinction and was quite satisfied with my grades. I visited a career counsellor, as I was very confused which field to choose next. My maths was very weak and he suggested I take up something in Arts. I went through a few options and somehow, stumbled upon, and remained persistent on choosing psychology. And it was the best decision I made for myself!
I cannot envision myself in any field not related to psychology! In my initial two years of graduation, I was not very proactive as I am now. Now that I'm in my final year, I've realised the importance of my career and my love for it, and am working proactively as much as I can, exploring psychology to the depth, learning skills and gaining knowledge as well as experience.
People have talked behind my back, saying Arts is taken by the students least interested in studies or that the career I chose has no scope and relevance, and all sorts of things.
For me, psychology has been so growth enhancing, I've learned the importance of mental health, how society functions and most importantly, the need for psychology!
I'm very ambitious and am working hard to achieve my dreams, to shut people down and make my parents chin up with pride! Do not listen to what people have to say, just follow your passion, go with your gut, work hard and you shall definitely succeed !!

Thank you for sharing your very inspiring story! I think a lot of people have been where you have, me included, and it's always really nice to hear that you find your passion and stop caring about others
Psychology has changed my life too, and i kinda have the same story as you. I hope you achieve more and more things in life. Thank you for sharing your story ❤️
It's inspiring. Thanks for sharing your journey. Glad you are more satisfied with your subject. Keep going. All the very best for your brighter future ❤️
It is true, Psychology is all growing and learning. It's nice to know how we have found interest in psychology in different ways. With all, that positivity and strongly belief you were able to overcome those rumors and all backstabbing. Thank you for sharing :)) <3
Sad to see that people still think that humanities is taken up by students who are not interested in studies and that psychology has no relevance and career prospects. People don’t know much about psychology and I think that’s why they assume that it’s something that shouldn’t be considered as a career choice.
But I’m so happy that you decided to opt psychology and went against the people who told you otherwise.
All the best for you future 💕
Hey.. Your story brought one very sensitive point of society very bravely... That's don't listen what society comments just consider them as challenge and win over .
Wish u best in life.
