Capstone: Day 11

       My mentor and I calculated how many hours I have completed and we planned out how I will complete all my hours by the deadline. According to my mentor, I have completed 11 hours, not 10. Therefore, the entry today shall be a fill-in for the hour I did not realize to blog about along the way. It will be reflection of my experiences thus far. Being a psychologist all depends on what you make of it. To some people, it can be the most boring thing ever, while to others, it may be the most rewarding thing. Bottom line is: if you want to be a good psychologist, you have to love what you do.  There is more to the psychology profession that meets the eye. It's not like the stereotype people see in movies. They do more than sit on a chair asking "And how do you feel about that?" Their patients are like fingerprints. They're all different. They're all the same in a sense that they go to see therapists for mental and emotional reasons. However, they all have different stories and backgrounds. There is a certain connection that the therapist and psychologist share. Being a psychologist is more than making money. It gives people a chance to make a differences in other people's lives by simply just being there for them. Having someone who listens makes a huge difference.
