I derive satisfaction from understanding troubling questions about human life and help shape our lives for the best to make this world a better place. My goal is to continue carrying out the clinical psychology research to develop theories in this field and discover new facts to apply them to real-world situations.


Would you help correct that content?

I would rewrite the first sentence to make it two sentences.

Is that research something you have been doing, or was it started by somebody else?

That research something started by the applicant himself. Not me. We Arab students write first in Arabic, and then translate into English.

It"s much clearer that way. Better!

If you have posted part of it here, you might as well post the rest of it here.

It would, I think, be a good idea to point out who is doing the research and what it is about. (At some point I will want to delete "carrying out".)

And I want to make new discoveries that can be applied to real world situations.

Yes, I think we worked that out. The request in Rover's last post (#14) stands.

One more thing.

I think "better" works better than "best" there.

The phrase "shape our lives" is easily enough understood. It's about influencing people in a positive way, right?
