Personal Statement
I know I will be a great counselor because of the passion
I feel for this field. I have gotten almost straight A’s in
all my classes. I have been on honors and dean’s list for
two semesters in a row. I realized this occurred because
I feel deeply for what I am studying. I will also bring
my Indian culture into perspective. At a present time,
diversity is a huge positive impact on a counseling
world. Therefore, I decided because of my experiences
and the benefits I can contribute to gain a counseling in
psychology.

Reflection
From the beginning of my year at Argosy University Seattle until now I have learned tremendously about myself as a person. I became aware of my own inner self throughout the various courses I have taken here.
I have gained many skills and have much more knowledge about psychology at the present time. As I see my work from the beginning until now I realized that I have grown academically.
I have gotten into honors as well as dean’s list two times. I learned to push myself to achieve what I wanted in life. Therefore, My portfolio will explain how much this year have taught me.

My Future in Learning
Learning is a lifelong process. Therefore, I am continuing my

journey of knowledge and gain much experience for this
field. I can contribute a lot with my individual and cultural
background. Therefore, I want to pursue a career in which I
can help abused women and men who have gone through
traumatic psychological and emotional abuse.
