It sounds to me like you have formed a belief that you have to have excellent English and be able to speak easily in front of people to get into psychology and similar areas. I don’t agree. You are still young. You have plenty of time to perfect your English and get more comfortable speaking in front of people. Both are easily worked on to improve upon and in time, will get easier.

Think about why you believe those are barriers to what you want to do and ask yourself: Is this belief really true and what would I be able to achieve if I held a different belief? Then really think about it…

I am extremely impressed by you from what I”ve read, and I think you’ll do great things!

As for my classmates, I would say yes, they are very noisy, interrupting the teacher many times.

I am interested in psychology and some other areas, but my English is not good enough for that, nor can I speak well in front of many people.

I hope you had a nice day Angie, and thank you for the nice replies.

Just remember, you can always smile, even around negative energy. There’s always a reason to smile. Always. Try to look at it from a different perspective. There is usually an excuse for why we can’t do something, but reasons why we can. I see you’re not a complainer, and that’s good! Just don’t give up your happiness due to a circumstance.

I know that the U.S. has issues; however I love it here! I also understand our education leaves a lot to be desired, in relation to other countries. We can point out fallacies in every area, but there are just as many wonderful things to experience here!

Keep in mind that you can embrace or repel in any given situation, Paulo. Back to your classmates: Do they intentionally keep you from learning, or is it just the fact that they’re noisy?

I wish you the best of luck with everything. I can tell you’re going to go far in life if you’re this interested in education at your age.

I want to learn more but the people here don’t allow me to do so that much, its hard to concentrate with all the noisy fellow mates. I would say that the school I’m in, circulates lots of negative energy.

In my opinion, U.S doesn’t care that much for the people, meanwhile, U.S is a money sucker* country, as for Europe, and since I’ve lived in Europe for lots of years, I can tell you that Europe care more for the people, thats why there’s better education in Europe than in U.S, I hope you know what I mean by this. I’d rather prefer England over U.S. I won’t say Portugal because its very hard in Portugal, well the only subject most Portuguese people have problem with is Portuguese Literature, its very very hard.

Have a nice day/night.

Paulo

Wow… That’s great that you’ve been here and England. Very cool for someone your age!

I always make some smiles in my day. It makes the day much better!

Angie
