Student essay written in en (native language: French, CEFR level: B1, field of study: Sciences humaines et sociales)

For as long as I remember, I like to listen to people talking about their experiences, their history, their problems,... In fact, I am very interested in studing the human fonctionning, for several reasons.
At first I wanted to be a vet, but when I really thought about what I wanted to be when I grow up, I knew that human sciences will interessed me more, and passionned me more. I always loved watching many documentation, films, documentary about criminology, psychology and psychatry.
I think that if one person could have made me choose these studies, it will be my cousin, who has been diagnosed bipolar two years ago. Her fonctionning is very interesting dispite the fact that it is very difficult to live, and I want to understand it. I also wanted to understand how the treatment she is taking is working on her brain. 
I want to specialize in criminology and victimology in aim to be psychologist in prisons. I think that we should be more concerned about the case of prisonners, who are invisible to society, and forgotten. Dispite the crime they commited, they are human and every human is susceptible to act. We must focused on the psychological aspect, reinsertion, and also on their conditions in prisons, who are not acceptable. I want to be part of this because we cannot continue to let people out of prison dispite the fact that they are not healed from their troubles, and susceptible to recidiv.
To conclude, not only one situation or one person lead me to these studies, but passion.
