Testimonials
My dream is to be a psychology research expert and
get my work published. I am now age 18 and I have already got my work
published!
- Sandy
I love the idea of helping people with psychological
issues. CE put me in an environment where I was able to learn from clinicians
and actually connect with and help individuals with autism and Alzheimer’s
disease. It was amazing! Plus, my mentor, the clinician pointed out that I have
a gift working with patients. That made my summer
- Pam
I knew that psychology was fascinating before CE
because of a psych course I took, but working full time in psychology confirmed
that this is what I want to do with my life
- Jeff
I
worked in the psychiatric clinic of a hospital and I acquired two major skills:
1) The ability to work with people that have huge difficulties with life 2) I
learned the virtue of appreciation for the life I have and what my parents have
given me
