introducing myself...

Hellooooo, Intro to Psychology! I am Tiffany Marie Kafka. I am currently 17 years old and attend Stratford High School, and man, I CANNOT wait to get out! Although I'm counting down the days until graduation, I am glad to have spent my entire education (thus far) in such a great school district and an even better town.

Many things have shaped me as a person, and I truely believe I am still finding myself. The process is a constant struggle, trial and error. Those people closest to oneself definitely hold the largest impact on one's life, regardless of who you are. I am no exception. My friends and family have really shaped me as a person. In my early years, my parents and nanny had the biggest impact on me. Now that I am older, I am finding that I am becoming more and more impacted by my older brother and friends.

Other than those around me, I have been extremely impacted by the things I have experienced. Whether they be positive or negative, with each and every experience, I somehow gained a new outlook on life.

I think studying psychology is EXTREMELY important. Without a strong understanding of our own race, how can we manage to advance in anything? The world needs to understand eachother in order to progress, regardless of the differences that separate us.

From what I have previously learned, psychology is the study of the mind. Psychology focuses on the way the mind works, and what makes each mind work differently. It also focuses on relationships, personalities, beliefs, goals, priorities, etc.
