After completing my undergraduate degree in Psychology through the GKS program, I hope to continue living and working in South Korea for some time. In the short term, I plan to actively participate in community outreach programs focused on mental health awareness and youth development. I hope to collaborate with local community centers, schools, and youth groups to organize workshops and seminars that educate young people about mental health, stress management, and healthy coping strategies for daily life challenges. By doing this, I aim to help reduce the stigma around mental health and encourage open conversations, both among international students and the local community.
Additionally, I intend to offer free or low-cost coaching sessions or peer support groups for Nigerian students and other international students who may be struggling with pressure from academics, cultural adjustment, or personal life situations. Although there may be cultural and language barriers, I believe that my growing knowledge of psychology and my Korean language skills will enable me to connect with people and provide meaningful support.
Looking ahead, my long-term goal is to pursue a master's degree after completing my undergraduate studies. However, since I am just beginning my journey in psychology, I hope to explore various areas within the field - such as counseling, clinical psychology, child and adolescent development, or community mental health - before deciding which path to follow. As I study, I aim to understand each topic in depth and discover where my passion and strengths truly lie. This exploration will guide me in choosing a specialization that aligns with my purpose and long-term vision.
In the future, I hope to focus my research and practical work on the psychological effects of stress, peer pressure, and difficult life situations faced by teenagers and adults. I want to find effective ways to help people develop resilience, manage emotional challenges, and seek the support they need. While studying in Korea, I plan to gain hands-on experience through internships, volunteer work, and student-led mental health initiatives that will prepare me for a meaningful career in psychology.
After completing my studies, I hope to work as a mental health advocate, educator, or counselor who can bridge cultural gaps between Korea and Nigeria. I plan to collaborate with both Korean and Nigerian institutions to design and deliver mental health education programs, youth empowerment projects, and community outreach initiatives. My goal is to break the stigma surrounding mental health and inspire more people to speak up, seek help, and live emotionally healthy lives.
Ultimately, I aspire to open my own counseling center where teenagers and adults especially those who feel unheard or overwhelmed can find a safe and supportive space to express themselves, grow, and heal. I believe this vision will allow me to make a lasting difference in my community and contribute to positive change both in Nigeria and beyond.
