Answer 1

As an undergraduate studying psychology, my intended major is crime investigation.

I started having interest in this field since the day my uncle's was convicted for a crime he did not commit, just because he pleaded guilty due to the pains that was inflicted on him to do so and be free in jail. I felt this should not be a proper way to investigate crime. That is why I was motivated to major in this field, so as to bring the change needed in the field.

Sometimes I practice this investigation, using my younger siblings. It has helped me to understand that empathy is still important in crime investigation, even though it sometimes makes us feel biased. I have become the only one my parents rely on, to determine who among my siblings that has committed an offence during dispute.
