Pathway Goal
I will achieve to become a researcher in the subject of psychology or neurology, in order to discover the inner workings of the brain.
Why I chose this pathway
I chose this goal simply because I find it fascinating how 1.5 kilograms of wrinkly meat, chemicals and electricity is what we are. We are just 1.5 kilograms of wrinkly meat operating a cage of flesh, bone and blood. All our emotions, our actions and our figments of imagination come from 1.5 kilograms of flesh. It's amazing, really.

Capability Development
1st capability: Communication
2nd capability: Personal and Social Capability
In truth, both capabilities are very similar. I have found that it is rather hard for me to make friends unless we are forced to interact. It is even made worse by the fact that my personality leans towards being an introvert, so I tend to avoid going outside just because I dislike people and get exhausted by the idea of having to interact with a bunch of new faces.
I know that working in a lab with other scientists will require me to interact with many people - perhaps even ones that I will grow to hate. So it would be best if I developed some better skills in social interaction so that I could work successfully in a lab alongside my fellow scientists.
