Dream: IO psychologist
Touchstone: chance to help people, knowledge about a company and being able to create a better place to work for employees
Role model: Terry Belian
Target: get a PhD in industrial and organizational psychology
I am about to get my BA in psychology this December and I would love to continue on my studies. However, the field I want to concentrate on is industrial and organizational psychology. I was always torn between psychology and business, and at first I majored in business, and shortly after that I switched to psychology, and then kind of looked back, wondering if I have made the right choice, because I missed business, but it was pretty late to switch back. This semester I started my internship in industrial and organizational psychology at Aflac and I absolutely love the feel of business in my duties and still being in psychology. I decided this is what I want to do, and my dream is to become a IO psychologist. My touchstone would be the ability to create a better work environment for employees, and help them out with any work stresses they might be experiencing. My role model is Terry Belian, he is the husband of a lady I babysit for. He majored in the same field as me and is very successful at what he does. My target is to obtain my PhD in IO psychology.
After taking Myers-Briggs test, my results showed that I am an ENFJ type of personality. I agree with a lot of things I have read about my type. First of all, it said that I should pursue my career in counseling, psychology, and social work, as my top picks, which is what I am doing. It said I enjoy helping people. It said that I am the "Giver" and I deal with things externally and according to how I feel about them, and secondly I listen to my intuition. I agree with the intuition part, I think I have a pretty strong sense of intuition, however, many times I ignore it, and I shouldn't. It also said that I put people's needs in front of mine, and this is very true, I have always been like that and I don't think I'll ever change. My personality is people-focused and I have great people skills. I support others, really try my best to understand them, and encourage good things in them. It also said I am pretty demanding and I'll make people give me what I want (I think my boyfriend would really agree with that...he he) I also agree about me being organized, and structured, as well as honest. I think I am a very honest person, I know everyone lies and of course I have before, but mostly I try to always be very honest to people. In the description of my personally it said that I don't like to be alone...It kind of depends for me. I don't like to be single, because I feel lonely. However, when everything in my life is in place, I do enjoy some alone time and just have some time to myself to read or clean up my house. If I am having relationship problems, I want to be alone; people bother me by asking me questions and trying to get into my business. I do have a strong need for intimate relationships, and that's what my type has shown. I think my results very pretty accurate and expressed the person I really am.

Homework #3
PICK A COLOR I am pink. I am a combination of red and white- the color of love and peace. I am sweet like bubble gum. I am girlie and pretty. I am like pained, pink toe nails and a pink dress a little girl loves to wear. I am young and happy.
PRIVATE EYE GAME The person who lives here is organized and neat. She likes to decorate her apartment and make it look pretty. She likes dark furniture and painted walls. She has two cats, bunch of fish, and a lizard. She must like pets; she's probably a good person with a big heart. She likes candles and flowers and abstract paintings. She likes photos hanging on the walls and fridge. Big TV and bunch of movies and books on the shelf. She has a lot of food in the fridge; lots of fruits and veggies, water and cheese. Her freezer is filled with bunch of frozen, Polish food and bread. Fish, shrimp and chicken. Her bed looks "girlie" and comfortable. Her closet is too full. Maybe she holds on to too much and can't let go of things that easily. Lots of shirts, jeans, and sweats. Few pretty dresses. Lots of designer purses and expensive sun glasses, and high heels. There are male clothes in the closet. Her bathroom is painted light pink. There's a picture of two people kissing on the wall; they seem to be in love. There are sea shells and candles on the shelves. Her apartment looks warm and social.
SEEING YOURSELF AS OTHERS SEE YOU My boyfriend wrote: " You are helpful and I can turn to you with all my problems; you somehow make them go away. You smile a lot and laugh with me; you are a happy person. I like when you dress up because you look sexy".
I wrote (about my boyfriend): "I love when you make me laugh and hold me in your arms. You are warm, sweet, and romantic. You make me want to forget the world when I am with you. You understand me and you are my best friend".
20 THINGS I LIKE TO DO:
1. spend time with my boyfriend
2. hang out with family and friends
3. dress up
4. laugh
5. shop
6. sleep
7. travel
8. clean
9. ride a bike
10. swim and sit out by the pool
11. read
12. watch movies
13. ski
14. play volleyball on Sundays
15. cook
16. take pictures
17. draw
18. play games
19. learn
20. be outside
Most of these things are free, done with someone else and are both spiritual and bodily. Few of them cost (travel, shop) and few are done alone (read, clean).
MY IDEAL ENVIRONMENT My ideal environment would be me living in a big, nice house, big enough so my sick father could live with me and never work again. I would support him and take care of him. In my perfect world, I would be married and have kids; two would be perfect- a girl and a boy. We would all live together- my husband, my kids, my father, my cats, lizard, and a dog. The house would have a big back yard so the kids and the dog would have a lot of room to play and run around. I would want to have a job I would really enjoy, but only work it part time so I can spend time with my kids. I would have a loving husband that would always be by my side.
MY IDEAL DAY My ideal day would be a Saturday morning, sleeping in with my boyfriend next to my side. We would be living in California, along the most beautiful beach ever in a beautiful house with an ocean view. We would get up and have breakfast together and drink freshly squeezed juice. We would shower and get ready and go to the beach and hang out and talk. We would sit at the beach all day and when the sun would start to go down he would take my hand and go for a walk along the shore. He would then get on his knees and ask me to marry him and put the most beautiful ring on my finger. We would then head to dinner and meet our closest friends and family to share being engaged with them.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU WALK THROUGH THE ADJUSTED FANTASY DAY Its still my ideal day; I could be in a shower and if my boyfriend would propose to me I would be as happy.
WHAT DO YOU ALREADY HAVE him, his love, and him wanting to marry me. I already live with him, too.
WHAT ELEMENTS OF AN ADJUSTED IDEAL DAY ARE CONSPICUOUSLY ABSENT friends
WHAT STANDS BETWEEN ME AND HAVING MY IDEAL DAY TOMORROW time, finishing school, saving up before I can afford a California beach house

Homework #2
My parents said I was a very curious child. They said I was interested in everything I saw around me and I had no fears. They said I was pretty rebellious, too, and I would go after things I wanted, even if that would get me in trouble sometimes. Till this day they laugh about the day my parents brought home my youngest sibling from the hospital, after he was born, and I stood in the doorway, mad at the whole world, and asked them how many more kids will I bring to this house... I guess the competition for my parents' attention bothered me...My mom said I was a very clean child, too. I was always cleaning my bedroom and I would always be organizing something, which I think is pretty funny because to this day I cannot live without my weekly planner and I can't stand a mess in my house. They also said I used to love to draw and I was a pretty good little artist. They said I was a "people" person and I made friends easily and I loved to play outside with my friends. I played school a lot and as I grew older I really liked math, so they always thought I would either become a math teacher or a vet, because I was in love with animals.
After interviewing my friends, my boyfriend and some of my siblings, I heard some interesting answers about the way I am now. Some are pretty embarrassing, but as this wonderful assignment says, we are supposed to post "unfiltered" answers, so here it goes:
My boyfriend said that I am very hardheaded, very demanding, down-to-earth, very social, open and beautiful and smart. My older sister, Isabella, said I am very persistent when I am trying to reach my goals. My brother's girlfriend, Christina, said that my top strength would be the ability to identify with people no matter how different they are from me and that I am a very calm person and I have a very good way with words and I know exactly what to say to make people feel at ease no matter what the situation might be. My best friend, Vala, said that I am a very special person to her and that I am one person nobody can compare to and that I am very strong and have a unique personality. She also said I am outgoing, strong, smart, independent and caring. That I have the biggest heart and I give everything and everybody a chance and that I am loved by a million people. My other very good friend, Kristina, said I am very caring, organized, strong as an individual, motivated, a great friend, a great listener and responsible. And my other best friend, the greatest girl I have ever met in my life, Agnes, said I am self-confident, a hard worker, determined, loving, intelligent, helpful, outgoing, trustworthy, intelligent, generous, supportive, strong, kind, cheerful, loyal, patient, responsible, reliable, understanding, humorous, adventurous, thoughtful and sincere (I know that's 6 people but I couldn't leave her out!).
For the last part of this assignment I was supposed to do something I loved, so as I said before, I love adventures! So me and my boyfriend went to Wisconsin Dells for the whole weekend and we went bungee jumping! It was very, very scary and it nearly gave me a heart attack. Next time I definitely will keep my adventures on the ground! lol
