Hi, I'm Alyssa Fisher. I'm 17, and I go to Stratford High School. I think my parents have shaped me as a person. I have the morals I do because they take me to church and have taught me what's right and wrong since I was a little girl. Almost every part of my personality is based off of what they've taught me about how to treat others and working hard. Studying psychology is important because it will lead to a greater understanding of people and how they think. It can help to see others' views and allow you to use empathy. The reflective writing and critical thinking portions will also help with other subjects in school. I've taken medical terminology in the past and if you break psychology into word parts, it means the study of the mind. I think it is studying and trying to understand what people think and their behaviors because of their thoughts.
