Currently...

Currently,


I'm in the AIRC, not really studying or anything... Blogging actually at the moment.

Actually the purpose of my being here is to write my personal statement for graduate schools. So far here's what I've got written... And yes, I've revised this many times; trying to think of the best way to word it. It may need much more revising after this. Here's my "attention-getter"...


"As a young boy growing up in the city of San Francisco, one day my mother asked me, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” I always remember my answer being, “I want to be a successful businessman working in downtown San Francisco, and I want a briefcase.” At the age of 8, I was very interested in business; how it was structured, and how money was made within the walls of a company’s building. Life has since then progressed, now finding myself studying psychology as my major. I have a passion to understand how people function; how people think, how people act, and therefore make predictions about their future behavior based on the study of psychology. My childhood aspiration has now evolved into an interest in the field of Industrial/Organizational Psychology. My purpose of wanting to pursue a graduate education is to blend the two: my childhood dream, and my passion, into a meaningful career."

-Yes, more work needs to be done... but it's a work in progress.
- I'll be applying to SFSU and SJSU soon. Not applying to Sac State anymore since I missed the Psyc GRE registration deadline. Hopefully I get into SF State (It's a 2-year MS program), it'll be a welcome transition for me because I grew up in San Francisco. I miss living in the city by the bay. 
-At least in 2 months, I'll be back where I belong... If all goes according to plan.
