Rachel L. Jenkin
Be the change you wish to see in the world.
My name is Rachel, and I am passionate about learning all aspects of psychology.
I love learning new things. I yearn to become a well-known author. I write every day, paint/draw and do internet research. I also love art and find it therapeutic. I'm a huge theatre geek. I participate in all my school's plays and musicals and I am captain of our school's forensics team (which includes dramatic performances, not science-related). I am a skilled photographer, former water polo player, and avid baker.
I try to keep busy and keep my mind sharp. I have completed Psychology 1 and 2 and am currently enrolled in Advanced Placement Psychology this year. I'm planning a college major in psychology, but there are so many fields to choose from—everything from neuropsychology to behavioral psychology, and I'm interested in them all right now! Perhaps one day I will be a research psychology professor.
I am currently enrolled in an online social psychology course offered by Professor Scott Plous from Wesleyan University. My favorite topic so far has been discussing attitudes and their correlation with behavior. If you ever want to talk about anything or have any questions for me, just ask! Also, I'd love to learn any information or advice you would like to share!
