Student essay written in en (native language: French, CEFR level: B2, field of study: Sciences humaines et sociales)

I decided to do studies in psychology in the middle of my secondary school. Actually, I did not really know what it was and I just had stereotypes, as a lot of people. During the inscriptions, I still was not sure why I wanted to go there but it seemed to me the less worst. Actually, I did not know what to do else. I don't know from where this idea came to me. Probably, because I had heard of this job and I seemed interested in it more or less. I had the certitude that I wanted to work with people and help them potentially. This is also probably the fact that I have seen a psychologist when I was little. I don't really remember him and why I have been there but I think he helped me. I also wanted to do a job where I would be useful for others, maybe because I thought that my value reposed on that. When I was younger, I did not talk a lot and I preferred listen to people, I found it easier and I took this habit. That's still the case sometimes nowadays, even if I talk a bit more. In brief, there are different factors that made that I choose these studies, without really knowing why.
