Introduction

In this paper, I will give a preview of the reflections that I uphold my present and future. This is in regard to the very desires that I hold so dearly, and the effort being input to achieve them. Being a student has opened up all the doors I require in an intellectual sphere. This is in regard to the course I am taking and the goals I have yet to achieve. Not all the goals I have set may be achieved per se, but the biggest achievement is the fact that I will get myself a step ahead in my current life as a citizen with a distinct package of ideas and knowledge.

Typically, in many reflective essays, individuals have mastered the art of chest-thumping. Addressing their achievements in flamboyant colors. This may not be the case in my essay. Though I will decipher my biggest achievements not only in my school where I study but also in my school of thought, here all the investment has been assembled. Not all the knowledge I have acquired was technically from one monolithic unit or course or study, but a conglomerate of lessons that were taught by various teachers, some teachers have been brutal and aggressive while some have been quite accommodating and cool. All of them have impacted a special part of me that may not be explained in detail in a three-page essay.

            As a psychology student, a lot is expected of me. Mechanistically, society believes that one has to be like so and so who did that course. This is part of the pressures that I am struggling with innately. Apparently, I would wish to be like many psychologists who have had a historic record in this field I am studying. This includes Freud whose social impact and academic glory have been quite enviable for generations past and generations to come. We both share a field of interest and a common goal which I will try to define here.

As a student of psychology, I have crossed all the possible mountains to be able to acquire the little knowledge I believe may spark an ember of light elsewhere. Just like the psychologists who came before my birth, my dire passion for reading is not worth an explanation in one sentence. The quest for knowledge and the variations of the question to be answered are just but part and parcel of a young brain with a deserving ambition in society. The knowledge I acquired from the psychologists I have studied in class and in private has been quite significant in helping me question the basics and complexity of human beings in their daily activities.

Apparently, this is one segment in me that fires my soul to attempt and be a human of influence in the well-being of society. By that, the quest for knowledge has never fallen short as days go past days. Personally, I do believe that many inventors such as Bill Gates (Microsoft), Steve Jobs (Apple), and Sergey Brin (Google), have existed at unique times of my life to act as the nuts that helped to bolt the engines that drive me. The present technology which has been a core factor in the contributive fulcrum of my education has fueled the drive. Ease of access to information from the internet and, the use of high-speed connectivity in well-advanced devices have just been a positive contribution to my academic journey.

For that matter, it is expected of me that I improve. Iron sharpens iron. Therefore, knowledge sharpens knowledge. Structures to be followed for one to improve in their desires have never changed since time immemorial. Currently, I may not assert that I am the only existing student doing psychology, but with absolute bravado, I’d collude with the basis that I have grown into being quite cerebral in the dealings of the X and Y's of life. Consistent skimming of new books, and diversified works of literature dating back from the ages of the Renaissance to the current technological era, has been a pivotal recipe in trying to bake the personal cake of brilliance.

Just like many others who came before me, I do have goals. Every star is recognized by the goals. I wouldn’t wish to thump my chest in a piece of literature, but my consequential desire to be a primary change of the universe and how they address issues has been my point of concentration for ages now. I still believe that in the walls of the universe, my name will be amongst those calibrated upon it as part of the fellas who crossed the face of the universe with a significant impact. Moreover, I do believe that all these are futile without firing up a neighbor next door. This is the only way the trek for change can be achieved for the longest time.

Conclusion

I would be humbled to conclude my essay by giving a brief reflection on the stacks of ideas I would wish to address. This includes the humanitarian concept. Psychology is one speck of an item that has the ability to absolutely change the direction in which the world revolves. It is paraphernalia that can start or finish a war. With the sword in my hands currently, I would conclude by saying that the significance of the current battles in life is to find a way to defend the human face. Via psychology, many people will be saved from the pangs of hunger, drought, war, diseases, poverty, and so forth. This is so specific when by chance, my undying spirit soldiers on to the war and determines itself to strike a solution that will save masses for generations to come.

That is not only my desire, but it is also the goal of my life. This is what motivates me daily to walk my way toward a Psychology book and peruse through to research what factors can impact a change in society.
