Faith DeLange

After graduating high school, I enrolled in college for a year, but at the time, I lacked direction and wasn’t sure what career path I wanted to pursue. I stepped away from school and ended up taking nearly a decade-long break. My life challenges, paired with meaningful guidance from a counselor, motivated me to dedicate myself to helping others in the same way. That’s when I chose to attend Normandale and pursue a degree in psychology.

My education experience at Normandale has been exceptional. My psychology classes and professors have added layers to my understanding of human behavior and how psychology connects deeply to society and everyday life. The lessons I have learned have not only expanded my knowledge of psychology, but they have also given me practical tools that I use in parenting, relationships, at work, and for personal growth.

These courses have helped shape my education and career goals by reinforcing my passion for mental health and my interest in the human mind and behaviors. I have seen growth in myself throughout my academic journey, not only as a student but as a mom. Psychology has become the foundation of the work I want to dedicate my future to. My journey has shown me that it’s never too late to return to school, discover your path, and pursue your purpose.
