What are your professional aspirations?

In a world undergoing decay, understanding and studying humanity become paramount. I aspire to hold some hands, be their voice, and be helpful to those who are struggling. I want to find out what causes illnesses, and disruptive emotions such as aggression, anger, sorrow, and stress, and delve deeper to uncover their roots. I intend to add more to these fields by drawing inspiration from groundbreaking ideas and people. I grew up in a chaotic time and environment and had the opportunity to observe society, its forms, norms, and impacts. These hardships heightened my awareness of social circumstances and the world, offering insights into the dynamics of human emotions and societal relationships. I learned about the complexities of love, hatred, and support and the manipulation and erosion of trust within a nation. Additionally, I gained firsthand knowledge of the profound impact of loneliness and the role of parental support in shaping an individual's development during formative years. Through these experiences, my worldview expanded, fostering a more comprehensive understanding of the world.

Do you have any advice for future researchers?
