When I was in highschool, I met a woman who is psychologist. I had an appointment with her, and she told me everything about studies, different places where you can practice as a psychologist and what she do in her job. I was very motivated doing that. Later, during my first year of psychology degree, I did an internship with her in an old people house, for five days. There, I learnt and saw how important is it to work with a team, composed of nurses, caregivers, and psychologist. I was happily surprised seeing how well older people can talk to you when you start giving a little interest to them. I also understood that there are many different way of practice psychology : in this house, she met residents in their room, but also on the hall, on corridors, at the dining room,… This strengthen my will of being psychologist. I also really like my courses, especially clinical psychology courses. 
Last year, I tried to support a friend of mine who had bipolarity. He went through a lot, going many times at the psychiatric hospital, sometimes he stayed there for several weeks. As I went to the hospital sometimes to see him, I had a glance of how it works there. Then, it enhance my job aspiration. In this way, I had chosen to do my Master degree's internship, last year, in a psychiatric hospital. 
Finally, weekly meetings with a psychanalyst, which have helped me in a personal way, had also refine my choice.
