Psychology Program Motivation Letter Sample

From the beginning of my life, I was caught by two issues that filled my mind with increasing wonder.
The first issue was about the possibility of reading people's minds. When I was young, I watched a
movie about someone who could read people's minds. I thought how wonderful it would be for a
person to possess such a superhuman power, and for years I had dreamed of having it, before I
discovered the impossibility of this matter within the laws of the universe. But I did not give up this
dream completely, because I later found in psychology a legitimate way to understand people's
behavior, and the secrets they hide.

The second issue that triggered me for a long time was about free will. When I was in elementary
school, I had a conflict with a friend, I complained to the teacher about what my friend had done. The
teacher advised me to forgive her, because she subconsciously offended me, but I refused saying that
she was completely able to choose whether to offend me or not. "if you were in her shoes, completely;
and had her upbringing, her body, her entire past and experiences, do you think you would make the
same behavior she made, or another behavior?" she replied. Although the conflict passed, and I
forgave my friend, the freedom of will dilemma began to grow in my mind, as my knowledge and my
experience developed. The issue started to be related to deeper questions such as our freedom of
deciding our daily choices, or the justice of holding the criminals accountable. This issue played a big
role in my passion to study psychology, as I seek a deeper understanding of the human psyche to
answer this existential question and determine its ethical consequences, as I wish to conduct studies
about it.

A few years ago, I joined a life skills course, where I learned how to deal with people better, to help
addicts, and to develop critical, creative and decision-making skills. I explored wider fields of applied
psychology and admired it. Later, I read most of Freud's books, from his theory of psychoanalysis, to
interpretation of dreams, repression and the mechanisms of unconscious defense. Then I started
posting psychology videos on my YouTube channel to spread knowledge among people. Therefore, I
am sure that studying this field is my greatest passion.

I have high communication skills, I am always open and understanding when talking to people and
listening to them, I always show empathy and avoid judging. I have high skills in research, criticism,
and observation, which make me able to evaluate information and news well. I also have an
outstanding ability of solving problems. In addition to my high marks in philosophy subject in school.
By studying psychology, I can develop my skills in interpreting the behavior of individuals and groups,
and anticipating their reactions, addressing people's psychological problems, researching thorny issues
such as awareness, intelligence, free will, as well as developing my skills in education.
I understand that psychology covers most fields today, I also know the market’s constant need for this
major.
Two years ago, I visited Istanbul, I was fascinated by this charming city, and I wished to continue my
studies in it, but I had to choose an excellent university to study in, So I found Koç university, which is
classified as the best university in Turkey, and it gives a high level of education. It adopts a liberal art
education system, which aroused my passion, because I am very interested in the fields that this
program teaches. Also, the university is accustomed to engaging the students in practical life and not
limited to theoretical teaching only. Today, I wish to gain acceptance from the university, so this will
be my first step on the road to success.
