Yet, for Catherine Fang, her inner determination made the transition from architecture to psychology successful.
Yet, upon confronting the realities of the field, Catherine promptly recognized that the vocation of an architectural designer did not align with the vision of her own future.
Bolstered by her personal experiences, the support of her family, and the guidance of her teachers at WASHZ, Catherine resolved to switch her focus to psychology and successfully obtained several admission offers, among which was one from University College London (UCL).
A volunteer experience at a psychiatric clinic provided Catherine with a stark realization of the gravity of psychological issues, thereby reinforcing her determination to further her studies in the field of psychology.
Catherine expresses profound gratitude for the support she received from her university counsellor, Ms. Stacey, particularly during the critical phase of majoring change in her application process.
She not only encouraged Catherine to make choices that align with her true self but also reached out to her network within the respective industries to assist her daughter in evaluating the advantages and disadvantages, as well as the future prospects, of both areas of study.
A correct decision is never belated; what is truly feared is indecision and lack of action due to worry. In the discernment between aspirations and practicality, Catherine’s capacity for self-awareness is, indeed, a rare and profound insight.
