Since we were little we've all been asked 'what do you want to be when you grow up?' and it never really meant anything until about freshman year in high school. The time when it hits us is different but we all get that feeling of 'what do I want to do with my life?' And I never gave it too much thought, always putting it in the back of my mind for later deliberation, but with every passing day that question came edging closer and closer to the front of my mind. Then in junior year, when they start telling you to think about college now, it hit me, and I was left with a lot of questions and a feeling that I knew wouldn't go away until I could answer truthfully what I wanted to do when I grow up.
I had decided to take AP Psychology mostly because I had heard it was an easy class, but I was also intrigued about the subject itself. I thought it would be cool if I could know what people where thinking-which wasn't exactly what I ended up learning. Taking that class was my favorite class all year (sorry Mr. Ayers, but I know AP Lang helped me way more overall) and I wanted to know more about how people operate and how they interact with each other. What lead me more interested in profiling than being some sort of psychiatrist was that I wanted to help people in whatever I do. I want to help put the worst of the worst guys away, and through some research-and maybe a TV show- I eventually ended up with criminal profiling.
I have changed my mind in the past, and I'm not 100% sure if criminal profiling is 'my calling', but hopefully this blog will help me decide if this is really what I want to do or not. Or maybe it will even let me stumble on something I like/want to do even more.
