About Myself

I'm Cassie Haskins, a senior of 17 years old attending Flambeau High School.


I am who I am today not necessarily by a something but more of a someone. My grandma raised me most of my life and she was one of the greatest people out there. I have always tried my hardest to be as amazing and caring as her. She pushed me to do my hardest and achieve the things I want, and she did it in a loving, supportive way. When she died it was very hard to cope with. I do miss her and wish her back, but I appreciate everything she has ever done for me and pray she's better now than she was here.


I believe studying psychology is important for the simple fact everyone is different. We are all raised differently, coming from different backgrounds and so on. The mental state of a human being can vary greatly from normal to irregular (sane to insane). Knowing how this occurs, how things affect us, et cetera, we can learn so much about ourselves and hopefully help others in need.


My understanding of psychology is the understanding of the human behavior and mentality. It's to grasp what little knowledge we have now of ourselves and expand, learning what internal and/or external factors affect us.

  1. Hey Cassie
    Your insight is amazing. I like how you explain how the mental state of a human being can vary. I have always been curious on the mind, for the fact that before I was born My grandma committed suicide, all my family knew or said was she had a mental disorder. Dad doesn't like to talk about it. I wish I was able to find out what type of disorder she had, just to know. Also the fact that my great grandfather's brother on the same side of the family also committed suicide. So I would like to learn more on if there really is a hereditary connection of some kind. Thanks for really making me think about it.
