Not your typical HERO

its 3:09 a.m. When we think of hero, we think of someone macho or hercules looking right? Someone that has saved the day and everyone cheers for them. Well at least most people think that. But through your eyes, there's at least one person you call hero. It could be your parents, friends, neighbors, loved ones etc. That one person you've always looked up too, and sometimes you even wanted to be like them at some point. Someone that has helped you, or has touched you with their kind words. So whos your hero? Cant think of one? About a Clinical Psychologist? Not your typical hero huh? As a psychology major, I find out, that theres more than one part to psychology. Their is so many different fields, that sometimes it made me even reconsider psychology as my major in the first place. No, am kidding. I knew i wanted to help people. I want to touch someone, with my words, and be the reason they are changed for the better. There is so many different sections of psychology to choose from. From Developmental to Social psychology, to even Military Psychology, its just an endless list. One area that people dont recongize as much is Clinical Psychologists. Clinical psychologist deal with people from depression to schizophrenia to some of the most severe patients with the worst disorders ever. They deal with hardest patients on a daily bases. Everyday, Clinical psychologist go through hard times, to help their patients out. You need a lot of patience. I mean ALOT OF PATIENCE to be one. Now to the patients, these psychologist are their HERO's. They look up to them, every single day of their lives. Most of these patients dont even know what's going on half of the time, because their disease has taken over them. Its up to clinical psychologists to help analyze and predict what they have, and how to cure it. With patience and love for their job, they come into work with one thing on their mind: to help them be alive again. Most people dont realize how much they go through both the psychologist and the patients together. "One Flew Over The Cuck00's Nest". If you see it, you start to appreciate people in this business. I know its not an easy job, but someone has to do it. Who you say might want to do this job, only the strong hearted loving patient people will do this job. And they have so much to give to these patients, that it makes you wonder whats a hero again. These people are heros. Maybe not to most people, but they are. I give my respect to them for what they have to put up with, because its not an easy job. So the next time someone asks you, whats a hero, stop and think for a second. Realize its not based off a persons looks or if they saved the day or not, its based on their unconditonal love towards anyone. Heros can be anybody, even in the most unexpected places. Are you someone's hero? Goodnight world, Goodmorning me :)
