Help me start my new academic journey!!
Hello, my name is Michelle Gastón. On August I begin my doctoral degree. As most of you know. I eat, sleep, and breathe psychology. It’s my dream 😌 to help people heal 💖 and recover from their past. I personally battled with depression and survived two suicide attempts that landed me in the emergency 🚨 room. After I recovered, I fell in love with psychology. Which is why I decided to become a psychologist. I also created my blog and YouTube channel. To create educational content for everyone. Here’s a photo of me on graduation day for masters in counseling psychology:
After I graduated from masters. I busted my butt off studying 📚 for my psychologist license. I had no life. All I did was study and study and study 🤯. I knew I had to because the license test is made for doctoral students. But here in Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 with a masters degree I can work as long as I pass the licensure exam. Therefore, I had to put in extra effort 🤓 to dominate doctoral topics. And guess what I passed!!! 🥳🎉🎊
After that, I searched for anyone willing to hire someone with a masters. Most jobs require doctoral degree. It was heartbreak 💔 after heartbreak. Finally I found someone willing to hire me to work in two schools 🏫 as a psychologist. When suddenly Puerto Rico was hit with a series of earthquakes! All schools closed ❌ due to safety concerns. So I had to wait for engineers 📐to go the two schools I was assigned to, to inspect the building foundation and give the okay 👍🏽 for students to go back. Here are photos 📸 of only one of the many schools that got hit badly:
Since I couldn’t work, I decided to volunteer and go to the areas hit badly to help families 👨👩👦👦 that lost everything. Let me tell you that was one of the most hard experiences 😭 I had to endure as a psychologist! Once I was done all I could do was go home to shower 🚿 , eat, and sleep 😴 . The mental fatigue was immense. It was stories of heartbreak after heartbreak. Families who no longer had a home 🏡 to go to. Here’s a photo of me helping:
Once the schools finally opened. I worked for only a 1 month 😞! Unfortunately, COVID-19 🦠 arrived and I couldn’t work because all schools closed ⛔️. My patient’s are low income meaning they don’t have internet or laptop 💻 to receive virtual therapy. So I couldn’t earn anymore money 💰 . Right now the company I worked for isn’t receiving money either, so even if I was able to work. They wouldn’t have the funds to pay 💰 me.
Because of this I couldn’t save up for a laptop 👩🏾💻 for school or for my first semester books 📚. Which is why I am asking for help through donations. Any amount is helpful and if you can’t that understandable. Instead, help me by sharing this post.

Everyone has a friend like that. You’re just relaxing, enjoying the view and they’re playing games. So which of these foxes at Lake Clark National Park & Preserve in Alaska are you? Naughty or nice? Photo by National Park Service.
The only fox moods: crimes and not yet doing crimes.
What a jump (red fox)
it’s so hot here… oh, to be a fox in snow…
me: have you ever heard the sound of someone breaking down uncontrollably
friend: no
