Well, what i really want to be is an actor.
My dream isn't to be famous, its to be an actor.
There's a difference. :)
BUT ANYWAY i want this because something about becoming someone entirely different for a day fascinates me. I've been told that its because i might lack confidence and self-esteem. I've also been told it could be that it gives me to opportunity to become someone i might not necessarily want to be in real life. [Read my last blog, and the comments. this might make a bit more sense than. ] It could be either of those reasons, I'm not exactly sure. Anyway, acting is really fun. you get to be someone different for a while. Sometimes someone entirely outrageously uncharacteristic, like an evil step mother or a mob boss, or someone that you can really identify with. You would probably also meet a lot of really cool people. :D
But i realize that becoming a successful actor is very hard to do, so I'm definitely working on a back up plan.
I think it'd be really fun to be a psychologist. I love trying to help people get through they're problems. Also, i know some people close to me have "issues" [haha. not like when you see someone acting crazy and you say "wow. they have issues." but issues like depression and stuff] I think its really interesting how depression isn't just chronically being in a bad mood like many people think, but its due to a chemical imbalance in the brain. i think. [randomly, for more info on this, check out this site.] But anyway i think its really interesting how some of the "issues" people have are cause by something in their body. I also think people are interesting. They're actions, they're thoughts, etc. I want to know what makes some people tick. I realize people have "problems" that can't be helped. Things like irrational fears [phobias], depression, etc. I'm really curious about why these things happen. And i think it'd be great to help some people get through and cope and deal with these "problems."
But enough about why. More about science. i mean, this is a science blog. :)
So. How can science help me with this? Well, for acting, i honestly have no clue.
But psychology is all about science. This site has awesome information.
Anyway i'd need to know biology and anatomy and all about the human body. I'd need to know how the brain works. Life science would pertain to this career path, i think... Science will play a major part in becoming a psychologist. This Site was really helpful too. I'm not going to lie though, i skimmed a lot of it. oops.
But anyway, i hope i answered the questions and blogged about the right thing! :)
