Below is my example.

When I was a child I wanted to be a pediatrician. I don't know why! Maybe because I thought that I wanted to work with children and help them.

When I was a teenager I began to think about other options. There were so many things that I wanted to do that I thought choosing just one would be difficult. I thought about journalism, art, psychology, architecture, travel and hospitality, etc. In the end, I chose to study psychology because I thought that it was a general topic that could be useful in a variety of jobs.

My experience at university was one of the best times of my life. I went to a university in another city and lived with other students, many who are still very good friends of mine. I was really interested in my classes and all of the learning experiences.

After graduating I worked with people with developmental disabilities for a few years before I decided that I wanted to live abroad. I then decided to take a teacher training course in order to teach English. Since then I have had a variety of jobs within my field. Looking back, I am happy that I chose to study psychology because it is still relevant to what I am doing now.
