My Career

My top career choice is to be a sports psychologists. It interests me because I have always wanted to study psychology and I love sports, especially basketball. I want to study psychology in order to gain a better understanding of why people act the way they do. I feel like this will make me more aware of the world around me and allow me to empathize with people more. I chose to link my interest in psychology with sports because I think I would be happy to go to work everyday if I get to do something that I enjoy. 

My score on the stress test was a 10 out of 24. Some things that stress me out are school, basketball, and stupid people. School stresses me out because there is so much that I must do in a certain time frame and to the best of my ability. The assignments that stress me out the most are dual credit papers and group projects. I want to do my absolute best on everything I do but, I feel like no matter how many times I rewrite a paper it still has flaws. Also, group projects stress me out, especially when I have a lazy partner or partners. I absolutely hate when I feel like the fate of my grade is in any one's hands besides mine! I hate having to do all the work when I should not have too but, I refuse to let anyone negatively affect my school work. Another thing that stresses me out is basketball. It stresses me out because I want to be the best and I don't take losing well. I always blame myself for mistakes and losses even though it is a team sport. After games I always think about all the mistakes I made and what I could have done better. I blame myself for every loss and I am my own biggest critic so, playing basketball is very stressful! The last thing that stresses me out is stupid people. I CANNOT stand stupidity, it literately enrages me!!! I have very little patience and a bad temper, which is a horrible combination. I deal with my stress by worrying about myself and remembering everything I do now will benefit me in the future. My life is very stressful but, I am learning to deal with it and keep my stress to a minimum as much as possible!
