Hello guys:
In a few days the present academic year will finish and now is a good moment to review how it has been (especially, because I have a lot of time to do it right now…lol). How my academic year has been? In general, I can say that this has been a good academic year, it especially because the academic load has been low. The first term was good, because I can introduce more into the different specializations of my career and the second term has been even better because I could choose the subjects that I wanted to study, which has been incredible. This academic year has been much easier than the two previous, I had to do fewer subject than before and my ability to study improved very much. During the first term I could learn about many fields of the psychology, which help me to define my preferences into the career. I could visit different places where a psychologist can work, such as schools, courts, community centers, among others. Also, I could to talk with psychologists who are working in these places and they give me an approximation about how are these places to work.
During that time I confirmed my originals interest to get into this career that I love: the Clinical Psychology and the Forensic Psychology. The second term has been extremely relaxed, in a first moment, which has made me feel very good, because I have been less anxious and less tired than the other years. I have had more time to enjoy my family. On the other hand with regard to the subjects that I choose, just two are very interesting one “special phenomena in violent crimes” (from forensic area) and something like “Psycodinamic diagnosis” (from clinical area); the rest of them are very disappointed. I have expected more practical subject to third year of Psychology.
In a second time this term has been very stressing, because I must to hand in a lot of report and I have a lot of oral presentations. I’m on the edge of madness.
To sum up, this year has been a good year, until now… because it is not yet ended to me. Anyway, this year is very important to me, because it get close a little more to my dream: became to a Psychologist. What more can I say? I hope so that every year get better and better.

welcome to my world!
Today, I am going to talk about a very important topic: challenges of Psychology. So more respect…
Psychology always has faced the questioning about its quality of scientific discipline; to work to abstract contains, with subjectives elements, with a lot of theories, with black box, for example, it’s not help at all. Lot of people consider our profession as “pay for friends”; or still they talk about if “believe” or not to psychologist as superstition or some kind of faith.
On the other hand, in our country the most of material with we use to study psychology is very old. The most recent researches are made in other languages such as German, English or French; and its translated version or The Classical translation into Spanish are very dubious. And that it is a comparative disadvantage.
One critical issue that disturbs to our discipline (and unfortunately always will be the same) is the thin red line to separate who are normal or who are not. This always obeys to specific culture, time or interest; then is very complicate to set up an unquestionable classification that not make excess or unfair diagnoses that damage in one way the life of the person who are different, singular or particular. The world never loves to exceptions.
In my opinion other important issue to psychology is the great amount of people to suffer mental illness; then is very important to introduce the self-care since early state of development. The people underestimate the huge difference between deny the psychological problems and to face up them. In this point our topic is connected with the need to have a better education; an integral education that encourage the mental health.
Finally, I must say that psychology has demonstrated its relevance on life of people, in their quality of life; but in nowadays there is a other significant problem to it must face up: the huge amount of fakes psychologist (“chanta psychologist”). They are a shame to profession. They don’t feel the great responsibility and privilege to someone ask your lead to get better. They suck!
The old proverb says “the doctor, actor and crazy everybody has a little bit”… and I add from psychologist too.
