My name is Nicola Byfield and I am currently in my second semester at York College. I am pursuing a degree in Business Administration and my major is Human Resources. I am taking several classes this semester among them I/O Psychology[1], which is being taught by Professor William Ashton [[1]].
My interests include reading. I LOVE TO READ (especially anything romantic! Very girly-I know). I just concluded reading Snow Flower and the Secret Fan and I am now half way into Shanghai Girls [2](Note: Although I love to read, this unfortunately does not apply to any book that is school related). I also love paintings and wish I was born an artist [3]. I love to do volunteer work and as soon as my life gets becomes less hectic, I sincerely wish to become be more active in that area.
It gives you a deeper understanding of how people think.
It makes you a whole lot more tolerant because you do not just judge people by what goes on on the surface, but realize that their behavior might be linked to something deeper or rooted to some past experience that makes them the way they are.
Psychology is so diverse, I think of it as this great tree with numerous branches [2]. There are many careers within this field so there are endless ways in which you can make a positive impact on individuals and society on a whole.
