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

First of all, it was not really a person or a situation that decided me to choose psychology in university. Indeed, I always knew that I wanted to work with children. The only things, where there was some doubt was the study option. In other words, at first I wanted to be a doctor specialized in babies but I understood pretty quickly that I wasn't made for such long studies. That's why I decided to choose psychology, it was the perfect decision because I can work with children. To be really honest, I think maybe my mom help me a little to decide. What I mean, is because she also work with children and thanks to her I knew that I wanted to work with children. Thanks to her I knew that I wanted to help the children an be there for them when nobody can or want them. Find my own pass has always been easy for me in case of my study because I always knew that I wanted to work with children in health care. In fact, I don't want to work with children as a teacher, I want to be a children's psychologist. It is clear for me and it always have been. I was very lucky that my mother work with children as a teacher because thanks to her I knew that I wanted to work with children but not like her. I also decided to choose this option thanks to my year as an aupair girl in Paris. It was a wonderful experience which really convinced me to work with children as a psychologist and nothinh else. Once I knew there was no turning back for me, it was this or nothing. I would like to thanks my parents who really helped me and support me in this choice. They believe in me and thanks to them I am able to achieve this goal.
