Sandy Gaona is a 21-year-old young woman who studies Psychology at university, thanks to a scholarship provided by Operación San Andrés and the Ruble International Education Initiative. She is currently in the 6th semester out of ten at Universidad Privada del Norte and shares with us about this new enriching experience in her life.
Why did you choose to major in psychology?
I always wanted to understand people's behavior and the reasons we think and feel the way we do. I also grew up struggling with some family issues that I did not fully understand, so I am very interested to help other adults and children go through their difficulties, understand themselves and their life struggles.
How is your experience as a college student?
It is the best time of my life. I believe everyone should go through college experience. Not only does it give you a better knowledge of the world around you, but you also have the opportunity to discover yourself and your vocation in life. Everything you do there will leave a deep mark on you as you discover your gifts, talents, and dreams for your future in the career you love. I would like to thank God, Operación San Andrés, and Ruble International Education Initiative for giving me the opportunity to make my dream come true. I always wanted to study psychology and be sure that I will help people in need when I finally accomplish my dream of become a psychologist.
