The reason why I chose to be a psychology major is because I have always been interested in what goes on in peoples minds. I have always wanted to help people with their problems because I myself have experienced a lot in my life and it would be really amazing to help people with what they go through.

I have been playing softball for 11 years and it has really became apart of me. I don't know where I'd be without it because this is what actually got me into ELAC. Softball has helped me stay on track and has brought me many opportunities. My whole softball career I have been a utility player and because of this I realized a very important trait about myself. It has shown me that I am capable of doing anything I set my mind to.

Working out is something that I really enjoy because it helps me get through a lot. I feel like it helps me relieve my stress and takes my mind off of things that are going on in my life. Not only does working out make me feel better mentally but physically as well.

I know music says a lot about a person so here is the variation of my music taste. I literally enjoy listening to almost every artist due to their unique styles and stories. R&B does have a huge impact on my life but I wanted to share the other different genres of music I find uplifting and enjoyable.
