What have you dreamed to be since you were a child? Somethings, which we have wished to become since our childhood, generally become in our motivation while we are growing up. This happened to me. Everything started like a dolls’ play, but day by day, that play became in a gift which gave light to my existence. In other words, my childhood’s play has become in a wonderful reality for the rest of my life.
My parents told me that since I was a child, I have loved to help others. For example, they say that I always played with my favorite doll, Patty. In the dolls’ play, she always helped other dolls, so Patty was a doctor or a psychologist. Years later, my younger brother suffered encephalitis; due to this, he lost his speech and movement in the upper and lower extremities of his body. Then, he needed a neuropsychologist to do therapy and try to regain his body movements. For that reason, every week a neuropsychologist went to my house to help my brother, and I was always there observing everything that the neuropsychologist did with my brother. His therapy lasted for years, and during that time, she had been asking me if I wanted to learn somethings to help my brother with his therapy, and finally, I responded to her “yes, I want.” Since that day, I stopped to help my dolls, and I started to help my brother like my favorite toy.
I continued growing up, and during those years, my dream had been becoming more and more clear. That clarity helped me to be aware of my love for psychology; immediately, I started to do different things to achieve my goal which was to become A PSYCHOLOGIST. First, I stared to study with my best high school’s friend about psychology and general topics to pass the public university test, but I did not pass the public university test. I remember that for that semester, the university only had twenty seats for psychology students, and I got ranked twenty-five. That was a bad moment for me because my family did not have enough money to pay for my psychology career at a private university. After that, I started to work in a shoe store because I wanted to save money for my first semester at a private university. By the time I had two years working in that shoe store, I had saved enough money to pay for the admission Test, the first semester, and books. That was the moment to start the way to achieving my goal. When I just had finished my first semester, I knew that my grades had been one of the best in the school of psychology, and this kept happening semester by semester. As a result of this, I got a full scholarship for all my psychology career.
Five years later, I achieved my goal: I graduated as a psychologist, after that, I started to work in a foundation with children with special needs. Really, I had been dreaming with a work like that during all my career. Since then, I have been falling in love more and more with child psychology. Sadly, I have not been working with children for two years because this is the time that I have been living in the United States, and I have not validated my degree in this country yet. Nevertheless, for one year and half, I have been studying English and preparing myself to take my psychology classes, validate my degree, and of course be a wonderful child psychologist in this country.
In conclusion, if we have put attention to our inner child’s dreams, it surely has a connection with our present. In short words, our inner child has been guiding our life’s path.
