Hey everyone!
My name is Tom Nichols. I am 18 years old, and go to Edgar High School. I believe that my friends and relationships have shaped to the person i am now. I think this is true because I learn from my experiences, whether it be a bad one or not. I learn from my friends mistakes and successes too. Without them i would not have learned, as soon as i did, how to conduct myself to others, or how to be a good person.

I think it is important to study psychology in order to better understand the human mind and how it works. If you know how the mind works, you can unlock amazing things, and help so many people. It will also better help you understand yourself. If you can analyze yourself accurately and understand why you are thinking these things, you will be able to discover who you really are.

Psychology, i think, is the analyzing of the human mind and how it functions. It is important to have people who understand these things because there are people out there who's minds are in a state of turmoil, and need help.

  1. You have a really good point with having learned from friends mistakes and sucesses. It's a little easier to see something unfortunate happen to someone in order to prevent it from happening to you. It's also sometimes harder to see bad things happen to a friend; you wish you could take their burdens for them.

  2. Tom-
    I like your reasons that psychology is important. I think you're right that understanding how your brain works can help you better discover who you are. I also liked your definition of psychology, and agree that the world needs people that can understand how the brain works to help people in need.

  3. I think you're right about being able to discover more about yourself once you understand psychology. By being able to discover who you are it will help you achieve anything you want. You will be able to connect with people on a more personal level and help them understand and fix their problems.
