How have setbacks shaped your academic and career goals?
Hello, my name is Justin and I am currently a 3rd year college student balancing both academics in psychology and a full-time medical work schedule. One of the mot significant setbacks I have faced has been managing time effectively while working and attending school. there were moments when I felt overwhelmed, struggled to meet deadlines, and questioned whether I was even capable of maintaining this lifestyle. However, these experiences ultimately forced me to develop stronger discipline, resilience, and time management. I began to create structured routines and started to hold myself accountable. These setbacks helped me realize that success is not always a straight path, but sometimes a process that requires adaptability and persistence. As I continue my path, in a particularly demanding field (healthcare), I recognize that these early challenges are preapring me for future obstacles. They have strengthened my work ethic and reinforced my commitment to building a stable and successful career.

Why did you choose Psychology? How was the process like?
I am a Junior at Baruch College, pursuing a BA in Psychology.

However, I have many interests, having previously majored in CIS, being very strong at mathematics, and I absolutely love sports. I would like to hear from anyone who has dealt with uncertainty, how did you definitively determine that psychology is what you wanted to do, and what were your subsequent steps? If you never faced uncertainty when choosing psychology as your field of study, why do you believe this to be the case?
