Throughout my academic career my favorite course I have taken is AP Psychology. I took this class to fill an AP requirement but I ended up loving every minute of it. I have never thought of myself as a “math and science” person. I wasn’t necessarily bad at them I just didn’t enjoy them as much as other classes. I figured that psychology would fall in that science category and was not looking forward to taking the class. But, after about 2 weeks, I realized that I loved psychology. It was so interesting to learn about human behavior and thinking. But, the best part of the class was that it lead me to psychology club. On Friday nights, you go to Eastern State hospital and visit with the patients there. Talking with people that actually have the illnesses I learned about put everything into perspective. Before I didn’t understand mental illness like I do now and this club changed my mindset and learning.
