Psychology to me as a career striked when I chose Humanities in Grade 11th. Although, I was one of those students who never scored good and the victim of teachers who judged students on the basis of their academic grades. I always knew that i was much more than my grades and personally, there were/are times when i have self-doubts about myself too. So when i started studying this subject, I paid a lot of attention to it which was from within and I would always look forward to study it and discuss various case studies. I always loved listening to people and guiding them wherever necessary. I just want people to know more and more about mental health and also, I wish to become a successful psychologist one day because Firstly, i'd love to help people and secondly, I just want people to understand that marks are not everything in life. If you have the passion for a specific thing, then there's no looking back.
Hey Tanvi...I thank you for sharing your experience...
Being judged by teachers can be tough but you have found your way and discovered your passion.
Hope you become a great psychologist in the future.
