HI my name is JQ this is my fourth year
as an Applied Psych student and this is
my Major Minute.
Freshman year I came to UIC as a general
psych major with the pre-med track but
after taking a few classes such as the
Child and Youth policy class I decided
that wasn't the right track for me and I
ended up dropping the pre-med track.
So I went to my advisor and I asked him what
options I would have he told me I could
either do general psych or applied psych. 
I took classes such as learning and
conditioning, abnormal psychology and
stats and when I got to stats that's
when I realized oh I guess I can do this. I decided to switch to applied because
that's where stats is really used as far
as business, organizations and industries
and also during my junior year I ran
into a man by the name of Dr. Pinkston
who gave me my first internship which
introduced me to how I can work with
youth and business at the same time
which was my mega moment.
I worked with him, I worked with youth, I decided what I
wanted to do and this is what I wanted
to do and where I wanted to go with this
and that's how I decided that this was
the right fit for me. All right you guys
