AMBITION IN LIFE

- Joshita Singh ( A1506921081)

To me, and if I can bring one second of joy into a child or a grown-up's
life, then I have achieved my lifetime ambition rightfully said by Michael
Jackson.

Ambitions are an important consideration. Everyone has some or all of

their goals in life. Life appears to be meaningless without ambition.
Ambition provides us with the motivation to achieve our objectives.
There may be many barriers and roadblocks in the way of achieving our
goals, but if we have a clear vision, it is not difficult.

As I was growing I never wanted to be a doctor or an engineer, because

my mom would always emphasize how much you have to study so I was
a bit scared and always thought to myself who will study so much? but
then I took up psychology, haha, I will have to invest at least 7-to 9 years
in my education to be a psychologist who is no less than a doctor!

In 11th I was hooked on taking up law because I thought I always had it

in me and wanted to go for corporate law, after watching the series Suits
and thought it’s very glamorous but then Corona came in and me being
in 12th had to take my studies seriously so I was investing more time
than ever and as I had psychology in my 12th as well, there was a
particular chapter “ Psychological Disorders” it had practically all the
interesting disorders out there and after diligently reading it, I thought
to myself is the law really my thing or was I just getting influenced and
after talking with my parents ( who have always been supportive of my
decisions) I finally decided to pursue psychology as a career. People have
complimented me that I’m a person they can trust with their secrets and
I always try to help people by listening to them and figuring out a
solution for their problems so I really think psychology is my calling plus
I also like the subjects I’m studying they always keep me curious about
different things and research about them.
In the field of psychology, I want to go into Clinical psychology where we
treat all the disorders as I’ve as my major in abnormal psychology, and
reading about the disorders has really been interesting.

So my ambition in life is to be the best clinical psychologist out there so

that I can help people with their mental health and reduce the stigma
around it because we’re literally in the 21st century and we’ve been
fighting against society for too long now.
