Since we were young, parents, teachers, and even relatives and friends must have asked us a very similar question: What is your ideal? What do you want to do in the future?

If you think about it carefully, your dreams may change from childhood to adulthood, or they may start and end.

No matter how innocent and beautiful our ideals were in the past, when we enter high school and are about to become adults, we should carefully think about and plan our future careers.

For me personally, I have not had particularly lofty ideals since I was a child. I don't want to be a doctor, a scientist, or a police officer.

I still remember my biggest dream when I was a child, which was to open a pet shop and raise many cute cats and dogs.

Later I learned vocal music and wanted to be a music teacher to teach children to sing and bring beautiful singing to more people. But later I felt that my level was really insufficient and I had no time to continue learning vocal music, so I could only ignore it for the time being.

For a long time later, when my parents or relatives asked me about my ideals, I would always remain silent for a long time, smiling and shaking my head: "I don't know, I haven't thought about it yet."

"Needless to say, you will definitely be very powerful in the future."

They often say to me: "You must have ideals in life, such as being a scientist, astronaut, etc." My mother often advises me this way.

However, I still don’t understand why it is necessary to have such lofty ideals. Is it correct to want to become a powerful person like the stars?

It’s not that I’m willing to be mediocre. At least, I don’t want to be so ambitious and ambitious. I want to calm down and think about what kind of person I want to be.

After a long, long time, I still didn’t figure out what I wanted to do in the future, until one day...

That was my first year in high school. In a psychology class, psychology teacher Wang shared her story with us.

She had also thought about her career for a long time, and later felt that people in today's society are experiencing more and more psychological problems due to various pressures and psychological problems.

The age group with the highest incidence of psychological problems is high school, so she decided to study psychology and then came to high school to be a psychology teacher.

After listening to her words, I was deeply moved.

I am an extremely emotional person and very sensitive. I often encounter many entangled and uncomfortable things, but I don’t know how to solve them. I will think a lot and speculate on the cause and effect of problems and the thoughts of others.

Therefore, I am very interested in human psychology and want to know more. And I have also learned about many tragedies about people with psychological problems, whether in the news or around me. I have an excellent junior high school classmate who was troubled by depression and had to drop out of school.

Our society is actually relatively indifferent to these issues and pays little attention to them. Some people even sarcastically say, "Why bother? It's just too pretentious, etc." What's even more annoying is to despise them. Treat each other with eyes. I feel really sad about this, but I am powerless to change it.

So since then, I feel that my life seems to have a direction. I want to study psychology and become a psychological teacher or psychological counselor.

I have also talked about this issue with my parents. They advised me that it is difficult to find a job in this profession and it is not highly recognized by the society in China.

If you can't become a teacher, the job of a psychological counselor will not be easy either. Moreover, in China, few people are willing to talk about their psychological problems and seek help from professionals, not to mention that psychological counseling may cost a lot of money, and few people are willing. It's hard to find another job.

This is indeed worth thinking about, but after thinking about it for a long time, I still feel that I want to study psychology.

Perhaps this is too romantic and naive, too idealistic.
