2. Personal Statement
I am a self-empowered lifelong learner, creative
problem-solver and hopeful inspirer of those who
wish to empower themselves. As an individual
who has successfully overcome many deeply
ingrained negative patterns in my own life, a
former residential counselor, and a newly
graduated student with a bachelors degree in
psychology, I believe I offer a valuable
perspective which will benefit those in my field.
With my experience I plan to pursue a career as a
chemical-dependency counselor and perhaps in
the future open my own rehabilitation facility.

My experience as a student at Argosy University
has taught me about the foundations of
psychology as a science and the art of
communication for achieving interpersonal
effectiveness. From learning about basic cognitive
and behavioral processes, to interviewing
techniques and counseling methods, to
understanding diversity, uncovering
psychopathology, to working effectively within a
group and organizing information for research and
presentation - I have gained countless skills from
my studies here.
