My College Essay

One of the best ways to describe me as a person is my tendency to be fickle. Growing up, I wanted to be a librarian one day and a fashion designer the next. However, the only thing that I have ever stayed true to is my love for psychology. My 6^th grade Mentor, the school psychologist, trained me as a peer mediator to solve petty playground problems. During my first session with her, I had the smallest epiphany. With my smallest contribution, I found a way to help the people around me, which was a plan I stayed dearly true towards. In high school, I joined Psychology Club. My dedication towards reforming the club and making it more prominent and influential throughout the school paid off. Now, in my second year as president, the club has a 300% larger membership and meeting turnout from previous years. We host monthly speakers who share their experiences in the field of psychology ranging from psychoanalysts, industrial psychologists, speech pathologists and school counselors. Along with Brain Awareness Week, we are currently organizing and sponsoring a fundraising event for charity. My junior year, I volunteered at The Center for Enriched Living. The Center hosted a drama program with the Looking Glass Theater Foundation. I was fortunate enough to be one of the people participating in the program, working with kids my age who are mentally disabled. This was one of the most eye opening and actualizing experiences for me because it took psychology out of a lecture hall and into a real world application. It was a little scary, because I was face to face with people that lived with the problems I only read about in books. Undeterred, I am even more so in love with psychology and plan to pursue it with passion and rigor for years to come.

I think it's phenomenal.. I very rarely write anything even half decently good. What do you think?
