ADDITIONAL

Being a child psychologist is very important to

me. They say anyone can be a hero; well my way
of being a hero is saving peoples lives from
depression, anxiety, and many other disorders. A
psychologist is a very important role in the world.
They help people when somethings wrong; its
like having a friend that truly knows just how to
help out when something's wrong.
