What’s her favorite course of study and why?
Psychology is Polly’s favorite course because she likes to learn about the brain and how the mind works.

Who is a teacher or staff member who inspires her and why?
Mr. Bob Zwiers inspires Polly the most, because of how he catches her mind academically and his kindness is evident by doing anything to help her out.

Is there a current event that inspires her? Why?
Although it was in the past, the fact that America allowed Cambodian refugees into the country is significant to her. Polly’s parents’ courage to come to America from Cambodia with nothing inspires her. It was the example that American people gave to Polly’s family that introduced them to Christianity. Her parents’ story of immigration and faith gives Polly strength to get through the problems she might face today.


What’s the greatest challenge of balancing academics, home life and social life?
Time for everything is the greatest challenge.

What are her plans after graduation?
Going to college and pursuing a degree that would enable her to work with people.

Psychology is not suitable to your interest if you very interesting in How brain work.

Medicine Neurology specialized or Pcyharist. They study more deep into how brain work and the chemical function in the brain in detail. How chemicals can play vital role in the brain fuction.

Psychology is wasting your time according to your interest. Psychology can't even prescribe medicine. Not every problems that related to mental illness can be easily just conselt talking therapiest as Psychology.

Anyway you are kind of cute girl.
