Past dreams that have been buried
Ever since I was a little girl, I loved swimming. Every Sunday, my mom and dad would take me to the swimming pool and play in the water. When I was in elementary school, my older sister taught me to swim. For me, jumping and diving into the water was a lot of fun. So I was determined to become a swimming athlete in the future.
When I entered junior high school, I was already a teenager. At school, I joined swimming extracurricular activities. And, I also participated in swimming training. However, I always failed in school swimming competitions because I was physically weak and easily tired. However, I did not give up on my dream of becoming a swimming athlete. I kept trying to practice to push my abilities. I even ate nutritious and protein-packed food every day to strengthen my physique.
By the time I entered high school, I still couldn't win any swimming competitions. Let alone becoming a champion, I couldn't even win the selection round. When I participated in swimming competitions, by the middle of the competition my stamina had diminished. I was so tired that I was defeated by the other participants. Since then, I have buried my dream of becoming a swimming athlete. I only made swimming a hobby, no longer a goal.
Even so, I didn't completely give up. I thought that the field of sports was not suitable for me, so I decided to become a psychologist. I read books on psychology and philosophy. As I read more psychology books, I became more and more interested in becoming a psychologist.
After graduating from high school, I entered college majoring in psychology. At university, I studied hard and also had good friends who were willing to help and support me. I spent four years studying and developing my knowledge of psychology, and I finally graduated with good grades. I earned a bachelor's degree in psychology and have been working at a psychology bureau as an assistant child psychologist. From being an assistant, I continued to learn from my superiors. I continued to explore the field of psychology and became a child psychologist. I plan to go back to college next year to pursue a master's degree. I hope my dream to pursue a master's degree can be realized.
