My first Interview for WISE

Today, I woke up bright and early and met Mrs. Kimberly Patterson, AWESOME AP Psych teacher at Cypress Bay around 7 a.m for an interview about her experiences with General Psychology. By the way, this week's theme is General Psychology--the basis of understanding Psychology as the study of behavior and mental processes. For me personally, that is how I originally became involved with psych; by first taking Regular Psychology with Mr.Calderon in my sophomore year and as a junior,enrolling in Mrs.Patterson's AP General Psychology class. These two classes opened up the doors to help me learn about the different subfields of psychology and give beginning insight into how the mind works. I found out so..much about Patty, including the fact that she is nationally recognized, is involved with the reading and grading of the national AP exam every year,and has met famous Psychologists such as the Amazing Randi, and Philip Zimbardo. To the psychology world, these two men are legendary to modern psychology. She explained to me that the one thing she loves about psychology is learning about how the mind likes to play games with us and how others around us can leave an impact on our decisions and mistakes in life, even when we are unaware of it.
Thank you so...much Patty!! Awesome Interview!! <3 :D
