PLEASE HELP. IS THE FOLLOWING GOOD?
Why am I applying at Empire State College?
At Empire State College, I hope to be able to explore a variety of topics. My main goal is in the area of Human Development, to understand human experience and behavior. I would love to learn about the experience, growth and behavior of human beings; patterns of development in life stages - infancy, childhood, adolescence, adulthood and aging. As described in Empire State Colleges' overview page.
As a Teacher for 5 years I have learned a lot. I learned that every Human being, especially a child is unique. Every Child has his or her needs, qualities and shining points.
As a Teacher I ran many times into difficult situations. For example, once a student cried out loud in my class: "My mother beats me with a whip every night. I am not going home anymore"! I was lost in words. I felt so bad for him, but was not skilled enough to be able to help this child. It was this story, and many others that made me decide. I need to learn how to understand human behavior better. I will pursue a College Degree in Psychology, and try to help the unfortunate rebuild their lives.
My goal is to become a professional Psychologist. To be able to earn a living by helping others have a better life, a better future and thereby make the world a better place.
I am confident that Empire State College is my right choice. With convenient online courses, that will let me keep my Job, with God's will, I believe Empire will make my educational dreams come true.
