Because I did not become a Psychology minor until this past semester, I have only taken one Psychology course, Introduction to Psychology. In addition to a Liberal Studies course, I am enrolled in all Psychology courses next semester: Social Psychology, Abnormal Psychology, Adolescent and Adult Development, and Cross-Cultural Psychology. In these courses, I am hoping to gain additional skills necessary for working with children and a better understanding of how children think, play, and learn. Throughout my education courses, I have been given a large amount of experience working in the classroom setting. In these courses, I was given practice on writing lesson plans and adapting them based on student needs. I plan on taking this practice and applying it to my work one day.
