My Classes #3- Psychology

      One of the classes I have to take this semester is general psychology. I wasn't quite sure what I was getting myself into when I first started this class. I took psychology in high school, and I really enjoyed it. I had a great teacher in high school so I was nervous that I would get a bad teacher and not enjoy it. Luckily, I have a great professor. His name is Vernon Boggs, and he is a great college professor. He is a drug and alcohol counselor and does some teaching at Rhodes and another college in Indiana. He has been through a lot as well throughout his life. He always talks to us about his life experiences and it really puts things in perspective for us. It has helped me realize that I have it pretty easy. Sometimes I get down and feel bad for myself with certain things and this class has helped me come to the realization that I need to appreciate what I have, because not everyone has life as easy as I do. I have everything I need in order to have a successful life, and I need to be appreciative of that. I enjoy this class, because there are all different kinds of people taking it. I have learned a lot from my professor, and hopefully it will help me in my future. I have learned a lot about people and how to react towards certain people and hopefully that helps me with my field. I am going into Dental Hygiene, and I know I am going to have to deal with man different kinds of people. My ultimate goal is to make every single patient feel comfortable. I want to be able to read my patients and understand how they are feeling and this class has helped me learn how to do that.
