    Your TED Talks are interesting and relevant to your field of study. I like your summaries, as they are concise and provide a comprehensive into the topics discussed in the articles.

I have always loved to listen to people’s business and help them sort things out. But I have never been the type of person to go all up in people’s business and spread false rumors. I think that my love for gossiping and my fascination with the different functions of the human brain encouraged me towards wanting to be a psychologist.  Also, I think that I have always wanted to have a profession in which I can help others.

Interesting Sources Used in My Oral Presentation

Here are some sources I used in my oral presentation First source:  Mayo Clinic. Lewy body dementia.  Mayo Clinic.   https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/lewy-body-dementia/symptoms-causes/syc-20352025 In this article, the Mayo Clinic explains what is Lewy body dementia. The staff talks about the symptoms that people with Lewy body dementia may suffer from. Additionally, they present the different causes of this disease and what risk factors to look for.
