Opinion: My desire to study psychology and become a licensed social worker eclipsed my fears [Opinion]
graduated from SDSU Imperial Valley with a bachelor’s degree in psychology and lives in El Centro.
I grew up on the outskirts of Mexicali in Baja California, Mexico, in a low-income family. My father taught me the value of hard work and education, and my mother taught me to be kind, loving and respectful toward everyone. Although the place where I grew up was considered dangerous, my parents provided a loving home in which my sisters and I felt protected and supported.
When I first started, I felt out of place because of obstacles involving the language and the culture. I thought about quitting, but my desire to study psychology was greater than my fears. I started talking with professors about how I felt, and they suggested joining clubs and organizations that interested me. First, because of my interest in research, I registered for a special psychology study course dedicated to creating a research project.
