3. After completing my B.A. degree for Psychology, my initial goal is to attend a graduate program for which I can obtain my master’s degree, followed by a doctorate degree, concentrating on Industrial/Organizational Psychology. While I possess a keen interest in psychology, business has also become my passion. Industrial/Organizational Psychology offers the practical use of psychology knowledge but also integrates business, for which I feel I would excel. As an A student, I have continually shown my commitment to not only the field of psychology and my schooling, but also proven my overall dedication and exemplary use of time management. I have learned to juggle marriage, work, school, volunteer work, and physical activities such as tennis and regular exercise, earning above average sales goals in my current position and raising my GPA to a 3.95. Though my weakness is perfectionism, I have managed to counteract my notion to over-think by accessing positive energy and utilizing time management. These are two, among many, contributions to my life that the study of psychology has provided for me.

4. Though I do not have research experience, I work on average 35 hours per week in order to maintain our standard of living. My current position as a saleswoman utilizes psychology in several ways, for instance, accessing the part of the customer’s psyche in which to plant the seed of desire and need for our products. I also study the customer’s body language and nonverbal communication as a means of directing communication. While I am not working, I also volunteer for community projects around the San Diego, California area, such as helping to restore the beauty and cleanliness of local beaches. This brings me great joy and reward, for I feel as if I am giving back for the blessings that I have been granted. In this same way, the field of psychology brings me great joy and reward, for in understanding the mind’s processes, I can thus help others in their ultimate quest of finding peace, happiness, and satisfaction.
