Yeah, that's not the way to do it. If you're gonna go to school to get into Counseling and Psychology, it shouldn't be about fixing yourself. It's got to be about going out there are helping other people! Perhaps you will learn some things about yourself along the way but that most definitely should
not be your primary motivation.
It's really too bad that the majority of people in your program have such wrong expectations...
