There are very few things that are as interesting yet as confusing as the unique enigma that is the human brain. Our diverse behaviours and our intricate personalities that make us who we are must have a cause. I initially developed an interest in cognitive neuropsychology as I learned more about my mother's job as a mental health nurse; mainly about the behaviour and interactions of Alzheimer's sufferers. Being a fraternal twin, I grew up with my brother in the same environment, yet our personalities are now very different. Questions filled my head about what could be the cause of these differences. My involvement in the "Twins Early Development Study" has made me appreciative of quantitative and qualitative data in practicals, as well as noticing the adding to my desire to find out more. I aspire to use this
degree to work as a clinical psychologist, especially within research methods used to understand the relationships between fraternal twins, diabetes, which I have had for 17 years.
