One of my goal that I am working on currently to achieve in my life is on my professional career as a Psychologist and a youth counselor which has been my dream since my formative age. This goal was triggered when I saw young people indulge into substance use and most of them ended up committing suicide when they felt that all is lost in their life. I felt the conviction that I should one day become a professional counselor so that I can be able to approach the problem professionally.

I have taken actions that will ensure that I get to that level of my professional goal whereby I enrolled for a degree in Psychology and Counselling so that I can get the credentials and the skills that are needed so that I can be able to give the best to the ailing community. Also, I have already started holding counselling seminars for the youths who are in their early lives in high school who are the people that get introduced into substance use later in life as well as having sessions with the youths who are already into the addiction so that I can help them out of the adduction.

As I look back into my educational life goals, I feel proud of my achievements that I was able to attain the cut-off grades that were required for me to enroll for my undergraduate degree in Psychology and Counselling which has been my dream career. I also felt great that after working hard in high school to get a chance in Harvard University, the hard work was eventually rewarded.
