The Chicago School of Professional Psychology at Chicago Top Questions

I am not necessarily sure if my high school self would listen to my adult self. I would, however, tell myself to solf down and figure things out. There is no need to jump into things and impulsively decide what to do. Figure out what you like and what your interested in and go from there. Another thing I would tell myself is: athletics will only take you so far. It is nice to participate in sports while you are in school, but for most people a life in professional sports is not likely. So, figure out what you are interested in and passionate about and see if it is the right fit. Talk to individuals in the field and get their take on things. Go to places and ask questions to professionals. It is important to have a game plan, otherwise you will still be searching for the right fit in your thirties!

I am now an expert at staining pottery and I wax lyrical about childhood experiences in 5-paragraph-form essays. Radians and vectors for velocity are a breeze to my brain, and I can easily ace a trig exam in fifty minutes. From Shakespeare to Poe I can dissect, restate, and evaluate in an organized fashion. With my Canon, I capture only perfect angles of light. I can fluently greet you and tell you my name in Spanish, Russian, English, and French. I have a collection of memorable quotes from Lenin, Lincoln, and Luther, and I recite chemistry formulas while I drive. I have a 4.0 GPA and a 1790 SAT Score. I volunteer at blood banks, homeless shelters, and daycares. I am a zealous over-achiever and go-getter, a cream-of-the-crop applicant. I dream for change, for a wake-up call, and for world peace. And most surprisingly, I see that what stands as a barrier between myself and that which I aspire to be, isn?t the size of my dreams or my level of persistence. It is in fact, money, which in contradiction to what scientists say, does make the world go round.
