I believe that exploration of any aspect of life cannot be sufficiently met until we first understand ourselves. I chose to major in psychology for this reason—to study the human mind and behaviors, understand why we think, feel, and act the way that we do and ultimately build the foundations necessary for further scientific inquiry.
