Hey Everyone!

I'm Alissa Michelle Milonczyk from Stratford (I attend Stratford High School). I have lived my whole life in Stratford. I just turned 18 in the beginning of September.

Many individuals have shaped the way I am today, such as my parents and my family, but there is one thing that I believe has shaped my life today more than anything: The National FFA Organization. Now some people are probably thinking that this is kind of corny or wierd, but it's so true. The FFA taught me how to be a leader and how to achieve my goals and dreams. It encompasses an almost infinite number of opportunities to prepare me for my life and future.

I believe studying psychology is important because the information you learn does not pertain to a certain profession per say, but rather everyday life. I believe that psychology gives people of better understanding of why people are the way they are. By obtaining this knowledge, we can better understand anyone, whether in an intimate relationship, a coworker/partner, or even a new friend you meet at school.

I believe psychology is the study and understanding of living things (primarily humans). Psychology has so many different aspects including emotions, thought processes, behavior, and reactions to stimuli. I also believe that the main purpose of psychology is to explore the mind. In this exploration we are constantly asking and in search for a single question: Why do we act, think, and behave the way we do?
