Master of Science in Clinical Psychology

Graduate school, a very interesting and challenging decision for the one who already

finished his or her baccalaureate degree. This kind of decision should have any

intention why do you want to have this education again? Some of them might question

the decision like you already have a diploma why do you want to study again? In this

case, I wanted to hear stories and i am thirsty for experiences of the professionals who

taught them and be the myths and legends of our current century. It gave me a

motivation to share what i have learned thru experience in which most of them are

unique. My motivation to take up clinical psychology is i wanted to understand people

who devalue their mental health and with the help of the graduate studies it will make

me more eligible to share and apply what i have learned so far in my life and in the

future if i were able to make a study i wanted to find a way to defeat the mental health

stigma and also how do we help persons who didn't even know that their health is in

danger. I wanted to make a scale of the consultation in how do you measure if there will

be a threat in the mental health in what they are experiencing in their life.

My graduate studies will help reaching my goal in which 5 years from now i wanted to

establish a health clinic who will prevent their unprocessed experience to be developed

in a full blossomed and permanent mental health disruptions. I still believe that

prevention is really better than developing a cure itself. This will help even help our

society to create a culture of valuing one’s mental health without even breaking the
mental stigma, hence before i could start my plans and dreams i truly assure my love to

share what i have learned so far and to hear others experiences and learning from it are

the qualities that i possess that made me unique to be admitted in this kind of program

and the most important quality that i have is “puso” in which one of the vital why

clinicians a heart to care for others growth even the society already surrendered in their

glimpse of only light. I wanted to be their therapeutic hope in which will make them

blossom into a more healthy person.

To sum it up, i wanted to be the key into everyone's heart that all of them are people

and this is what make us different from other mammals and animals, our capability to

think rational and to help the irrational to go back or help them to be back at their

rational way of thinking with the help of the degree i would be taking at De La Salle

University as a clinical psychologist.
