Blog Assignment #4

     In the play "A Streetcar named Desire" Stanley is portrayed as a jerk of a husband “You can’t beat on a woman and then call her back! She won’t come, and her goin’ to have a baby! Says Eunice" (on pg. 42)  He doesn’t treat Stella well, because he knew that she was pregnant and he didn't even think twice before striking at her. He was very much aware that hitting his wife Stella could of caused her to have a miscarriage and that still didn't stop him from hitting her. He’s a rough person. Furthermore, Stanley is a very impulsive person. For example, when he told Blanche to turn off the radio because he was playing poker and she didn't so, he ended up throwing the radio out the window. He reacts on his emotions and that's not always the smartest thing to do.

    Although Blanche is portrayed as a strong woman she is actually insecure."And admire her dress, and tell her she’s looking wonderful” says Stella on pg.21 the following quote shows how Blanche is very self-conscious. She often needs flattery to feel better about herself. Her sister Stella knows about her insecurities and that's why she tells her husband to compliment her, because she knows how much that means to Blanche. Blanche doesn't really like the light to be shinning on her. She prefers the light to be dim because like that you wont be able to see her wrinkles and etc. The light shinning on her face wont show how old she really is. Since often her face isn't shown very well she tends to lie about her age.

My major goal

Everybody always has that defining moment, in which they find their true motives in life. I never thought that I would actually have one until one day it came to me. When it came it made a great impact on me and my goals in life. It shaped me into the person I am today.

I remember that day like no other. Sitting next to that girl pulling her hands from the razor, so she wouldn't make the biggest mistake of her life, a mistake she wouldn't be able to take back. Trying to convince her that her resolution to what she thinks would put her out her misery was very absurd and that there was better options that didn't include taking oneself's life away. I didn't know much about this girl neither all the reasons that lead her to such choice but all I knew was that I had to help her. Within a couple of hours I was able to change the girl's perspective on her life and the choice that she was about to make.

At that moment I knew that's what I wanted to spend my life doing. I wanted to help people, I wanted to keep making a difference in people's life like I did on that girl's. I couldn't picture myself doing anything that didn't involve helping others. That was my defining moment. I realized what I was truly capable of and what I wanted to become in life. This is one of my many motivations to becoming a Psychologist.

My major goal to fulfill is to become a Psychologist. I believe that by becoming a Psychologist I can be able to do many great things. I would be able to set a great example to my siblings the young and older ones that weren't able to go to school. Moreover, I would also be able to change people's view on how they think that someone coming from such background won't ever amount to anything in life. If I was able to make it to college I believe that I can get through it all till I reach my goal.

Becoming a Psychologist will shut everyone that didn't believe in me; That thought that I wouldn’t make it too far. Before starting college my parent didn't even believe I was going to get accepted to any college. They was so convinced that I was going to amount to nothing. They both told me to join the Navy like my sister because I had no future, and because of my background I wouldn’t be able to get a job. I had a lot of negativity around, but that didn’t stop me from doing what I thought was right. I never believed none of their negative comments, because something always told me that I had a greater purpose in life than what my parents and other people around me thought .

These experiences that I have talked about above encouraged me to go after my major goal, and also to not pay attention to people's comments about your future. Its your future and your the only one that has the ability to change it. Becoming a Psychologist is not only something that I simply enjoy learning about but it's also a goal that I'm determined to accomplish because I'm interested in learning more about this certain career.

In conclusion, majoring in Psychology would not only help me set an example to others but It would allow me to do do what I mostly desire which is to help people whether if it is helping others to cope with depression, stress , or etc.
