Question 2

What is your intended major? Discuss how your interest in the subject developed and describe any experience you have had in the field — such as volunteer work, internships and employment, participation in student organizations and activities — and what you have gained from your involvement

I have made people relax, laugh and talk whenever they were with me or around me; thus, in my opinion, while counseling people, these skills are important in understanding them and assisting and supporting them in understanding their own personalities.

There is still one factor which drives me most knows that once i was a person of defiant behavior who has brought great shame, pain and sufferings upon my own parents. When i was younger, I indulged into usual shouting matches with my parents. Sometimes this situation turned worst that i had to run away for many days from home, and only returned when i could not find any place to go or did not have anything to do. Though, it was a tough time for me, but for my parents, it was even tougher since they were the people who had to bear and tolerate the disrespect and disgrace of having a "wayward" child.

Luckily, since that time i have grown up and got mature, and do not ...
