My whole life I have always been looking for a career that fits who I am, who I truly am, and to become someone who consistently has the ability to help people through the difficult problems they face. All my life I have been considered the kind of person that people felt comfortable addressing their problems with. Maybe people feel this way because they feel I have a sympathetic ear? Well, all I can say is that human behavior has always seemed interesting to me and that's probably why I decided to pursue the career path in psychology. I believe that choosing this career is very similar to the way the Freedom Writers chose to defeat stereotypes. in the book The Freedom Writers Diary. I can compare my journey of wanting to become a licensed marriage and sex counselor to how the Freedom Writers had to overcome how others stereotyped Mrs. Gruwell's class. Mrs. Gruwell's class was known as the "reject class" or the "ghetto class." For example, in dairy entry number two, a student talks about the stereotypes present in the school that the students could also visibly see: I'm stuck in a classroom full of problem kids who come by bus from bad neighborhoods. I feel really uncomfortable here with all these wastes. I had lunch before class in the high school courtyard and noticed that, like everywhere else, it was divided by race. (TFWD 8) Many writers about freedom have felt feelings that I have felt too, especially when it came to feeling shy about talking about something I really wanted for fear of someone judging me. I know that I want to become a licensed marriage and sex counselor, but I know that some people would feel disgusted by my career choice. So, diary sixty... half sheet... attempts to help save future marriages and keep families happy together. I also like having the ability to not only listen to someone's problems, but also listen and help come up with a solution that best suits them, it makes me feel like I'm actually doing good in the world, I feel like I'm making peace in home life and that can mean less family neglect, more family values ​​and, all in all, a better, stress-free home environment. Many people would think that my career choice is nothing more than a nightmare, but for me it is simply a dream. Works Cited “The Freedom Writers Diary.” The diary of writers for freedom.
