As a person of character, I can confidently call myself responsible. Responsibility has come naturally to me because I have always been dependent and willing to overcome any obstacle. With lack of parental guidance from my parents, I have found myself responsible for guiding my younger siblings and I through daily life struggles. Unexpectedly, Child Protective Services removed my siblings and I from our home. Being the oldest, I watched over my siblings and comforted them in this crucial time. In turn, I became a mother figure to them. My primary goal during this time was to encourage myself and my siblings to focus on our education. My leadership role inspired and motivated my siblings to endure even the most difficult hardships. Although I was young, I built up strength to demonstrate that no task is impossible if you support one another.
Being responsible is a characteristic I strive to teach my younger siblings and eventually implement in my future career as a Clinical Psychologist. The ability to easily problem-solve in stressful situations has bolstered my career path to becoming a Clinical Psychologist. Becoming a clinical psychologist will allow me to specialize in physical health concerns and help patients to manage stress or chronic illnesses. Furthermore, my kindness and empathy inclines me to work with others and help them overcome hardships. I have always been highly motivated to improve and better the lives of others. In addition, I challenge myself frequently by taking AP and honors courses. Thus, I will be prepared for college and will have developed strong academic skills.
