As I grew and aged into middle school, my views of science changed. I recall that

I liked learning about cells and the human body in biology. It was also in high school that I took my first psychology class. This is considered a science class, but deals more with the uncertain or unknown side of science. These types of classes that taught about the human brain and behaviors of people were one of the reasons that led me to pursue my degree of special
