The situation that inspire me for my choice of studies is a job I done in June 2020. The job that lead me to the choice of psychology studies is being a care assistante with person who has an handicap. They were mentally or physically disable, they have disabilities like autism or epilepsy crises. The job was in a inclusive house, there was four disable persons that needed help and support in their daily life. 
First of all, this situation inspired me because I was confronted for the first time to disabilities, and I saw how it can affected person's lifes. I realized the importance of professionnels and supports for those kind of handicap. 
Then, I have loved support,  play to games, cook and have fun with those young adults. I spend some beautiful days and I shared a lot of memorable moments with them, such as pétanque and surf lesson. I was with other professionals which helped me at the beginning for being confortable with the residents and to know what I had to do when I was with them,  and also to know how to react if they had a crisis.
This job confort my choice because I realize how I like being with young person, and to help and support them, to offer to them a safe place. In fact, it was important for me to listen to their need and being aware of what they wanted to do. I wanted to be there for them but not to be too involved when they don't needed. It was important to let them their personal space and just being their when they needed.
To conclude, this job situation I have experienced was memorable, I loved it, and it leaded me naturally to psychology courses, specially to became a psychologist with child and with young persons with disabilities.
