POST  3.Topic: Themed/Free post - career related

Hello!

I am studying Psychology today! I really knew I liked the career when I was in fourth grade. I was interested in it since I was very young, but I never thought of it as a career idea.

My grandmother had dementia and later Alzheimer's, which made me be close to this disease, with a lot of desire to help her. I think that was the starting point.

Today I am not really interested in the clinic. Lately I have discovered new areas of psychology that interest me. For example, I like the community area, specifically the one that works with socio-environmental conflicts. The organization of groups, and the identity that communities form, attracts my attention. I hope to work in an NGO that defends the rights of nature and communities.

I was surprised that psychology can reach these spaces.

I am not closed to the possibility of doing clinical therapy someday, because a part of me still wants to.

For now I am training with a lot of fear and insecurity because of the online classes, I know that many people are going through the same thing and somehow it will affect us in the future.
