I want to create a legacy by setting the career direction for my students from undergraduate to postgraduate stage. It’s a bittersweet journey as we worked on all the resources we need to make this happen; from facilities, references, faculty, and the curriculum. For me, success speaks of how well these graduates would create an impact on people as they practice the profession.

For me, Psychological Counseling and Psychotherapy was a very good introduction to my program, MA Psychology. I feel fortunate to be learning under Ms Belen Mandin. She is very supportive as a teacher, and she provides lots of academic resources through Moodle. I have been reading the materials and listening to the audio provided through the links from the website, and it has helped me gain a deeper understanding of the subject. I do feel insecure about my know-how; that is why I try to study more in my free time. To be honest, I was unsure at first about continuing the course but Ms Belen has ‘triggered’ my thirst for knowledge. She has inspired me, and I am now more excited on the kind of person I would become after finishing the MA program. I believe that Ms Belen’s subject expertise, positive qualities, and wisdom have made me appreciate the helping profession. I don’t know if I’d become a good psychologist after 3-5 years or if I’d be able to help other people but I am sure I have already helped myself.
