laurah's Story

My passion is psychology.

For as long as I can remember, I have wondered how the human mind works. Why do people act the way that they do? Whenever I had a question about something, I would tell myself, "that's just the way it is" and I wouldn't bother to look for the answer because I didn't think that there would be one. The day that I discovered psychology was the day that I decided what my passion is. I was ecstatic that something existed that could potentially fulfill my curiosities. I am determined to pursue psychology.

A Note from Ms. Linskey, laurah's Teacher

Laurah is an incredibly bright and introspective student. She has a wonderful independent mind that is constantly analyzing everything she comes into contact with. Whenever she has been given an opportunity to explore her passions, she has really shined. I believe that Laurah's deep connection and wonder about psychology makes her an ideal candidate for Blueprint Summer at Lehigh.

Post attendance update

I recently completed my psychology program at Lehigh university and I had the best time. I learned about so many things, such as mental illness and human behavior , just to name a few. On top of that I got a chance to meet a lot of cool people that I still stay in touch with. I really enjoyed my time on campus and it gave me a realistic taste of what college will be like. This experience is very valuable to me seeing as I'll be starting my senior year of high school in a couple weeks. I'd like to say thank you to everyone that donated and made this experience possible for me.

Pre Attendance Update

This summer I will be attending Blueprint Summer at Lehigh. I can't wait to delve deeper into the science of psychology, every aspect of it fascinates me. Because of my innate passion for psychology and the fact that my school doesn't offer any classes on the subject, I took up the opportunity to take a psychology class, outside of school, every Saturday until the end of the school year. This program at Lehigh will cover more content and allow me to learn more about this subject. On top of that, I'll be experiencing college life for an entire week. This is very important for me because I will be attending college in 2018 and after attending this program I will have had a bit of college experience and more certainty about choosing psychology as a major. Because of this, I am truly grateful for this opportunity. Thank You.

Sincerely,
Laurah
