Mind, Brain, Behavior

This semester has been going by way too quickly. We have been in school for just over one month and we have completed so much in that short amount of time. We are already on our independent component. Since the summer, I determined to get a college class that was somehow related to my topic. When the class were put up, I first looked under the subject of psychology. I wasn't able to find anything directly linked, other than freshmen, general classes. When I went to my senior meeting with Mrs. Hunzeker, she recommended that I look into a class called Mind, Brain, and Behavior: An Integrated Study. From the name alone, I was already intrigued. I had found that the class perfectly fit my schedule and that other young scholars had successfully passes the class. I immediately emailed the professor and he quickly replied with a welcoming approval of me attending his class. I had asked him if the class would help me with my topic of psychopathology and he was slightly unsure. He claimed that it would not cover all aspects of the subject, but focus on the neurological science to the psychology.

When the independent component was officially announced, I wasn't sure if I would be able to use my class for it. I continued doing research on the class and also the professor and found that it is more related to my topic than expected. Also, based on the professor's credentials, I may be able to use him in an interview, if he allows. I was also unsure if I would feel comfortable taking a more challenging class by myself. I would have potentially been the only Young Scholar in the class. I later found that another senior was accepting to the class. I have a much greater confidence in this class and completing it successfully. It was a great relief to know that I had that matter out of the way. Now I would be able to focus on completely my mentorship hours.
