Massive winged-structures descend into the skies here on a regular basis, yet airports are magical for a different reason. Hosts to a mix of nationalities and ethnicities being shuffled by a dealer known as human nature, Jackson-Hartsfield International Airport is my favorite place in the world. My passion for understanding and analyzing people's behavior makes Jackson-Hartsfield the perfect observatory. As I wait for my flight to depart, I always give myself the opportunity to sit in the amenities of my concourse and observe the mosaic of personalities shuffling through - "people watching".
My interest in sociology stems from the same passion and aptitude for empathy as does my love for airports. Majoring in sociology would enable my interest in people by reinforcing my innate empathy with knowledge. In turn, I'd able to turn my passion for people into a career where I'd be able to help others, my ultimate goal.
