The first two years: Psychosocial
(1993-1995) I was an olny child at the time, my parents were on the older side, my mom 35 and my dad 34. They both had day jobs so I would stay at my aunts house during the day with a few of my other little cousins. I enjoyed goinging over there to play because I didn't have any siblings to play with at home. -
The first two years: biosocial
(1993-1995) I was born with dark brown hair and dark brown eyes. I was considered tall for my age. I had blocked tear ducts until I was 9 months old when I had surgery to get it fixed. Also at 9 months I began walking. -
The first two years: Cognitive
(1993-1995) I was called chatterbox. Once I learned to talk I never kept quiet. My first word was "mama" and my favorite word to say was "no." -
The play years: Cognititve
(1995-1999) I started preschool when I was 3 and a half and I loved going to school every morning. When I was in kindergarten we sang a lot of songs and I had a very good memory and would come home and sing all the songs we were learning. I was pretty good in all subjects. Since my mom worked in the school system she always had extra work for me to do at home. I really enjoyed doing puzzle. I would have puzzle pices lying all over the floor because I redid them so often. -
The play years: Biosocial
(1995-1999) I was not a picky eater, my parents fed my things like liversworth and peas. I started dance classes when I was 3 which helped my develop my motor skills. When I was 3 I had my first major injury. I cut my chin open and had to get stiches. I was also still consdered tall for my age when I was 6. -
The play years: Psychosocial
(1995-1999) My parents style of parenting was authoritative. They guided me in the right direction, understanding that when I made mistakes I was still only a little kid. I loved to play outside. I lived on a cul-de-sac growing up and all the kids in our court would ride bikes together, play on the playsets together, we had our own little t-ball games. When I was 3 my little sister was born and then when I was 5 I had a new little brother. -
Middle childhood: Biosocial
(1999- 2004) I enjoyed being active. I was still envolved in dance and I had joined a soccer and a t-ball team. I never had any health problems as I child. We ate pretty healthy and my mom always made sure I got my vitamins everyday. -
Middle childhood: Cognitive
(1999-2004) I did very well in school. I always excelled at spelling tests, getting 10/10's on practically every one. I was also very interested in reading and math. -
Middle childhood: Psychosocial
(1999-2004) I had a pretty good slef esteem growing up. I had a friend group of about 4 girls that I always hung out with. I was not popular, I would say I was considered average but I got along with everyone. Growing up I never had any trouble at home. My parents were loving and nurturing and they never fought. I had a stable environment to grow up in. -
Adolescence: Cognitive
(2004- 2011) During middle and high school I did really good in school. I understood the importance of getting good grades and I typically had a 3.8 gpa. When I switched school in 7th grade I think it was harder for me than the transition to high school. I think switching schools once helped me prepare for the transition to high school and making new friends all over again. -
Adolescence: Biosocial
(2004-2011) I hit puberty at about 6th grade, a normal time for most girls. I didn't have the best diet and I was very self concious of my body because of it. -
Adolescence: Psychosocial
(2004-2011) I always had a close relationship with my parents throughout my teen years. There were a few times when I wasn't happy with their rules but nothing that ever ruined our relationship. I never got involved with drugs or alcohol. I had a few good friends doing this time that remained through most of my teen years. -
Emerging Adulthood: Biosocial
(2011- 2018) I would consider myself a pretty active person. I love to run and usually go when ever I get a chance. When I'm at school I normally hit the gym 3 or 4 times a week. I have learned to improve my diet over the years and I am eating a lot better and healthier than I used to. I have a job at a local grocery store and Im learning to become responsible with my money. -
Emerging Adulthood: Cognitive
(20011- 2018) I am currently a Sophmore at Grand Valley state University with the intent to go to medical school afterwords. I am majoring in biomedical science with a pre-med emphasis. I do volunteer work on the weekends and have learned to manage my time pretty well. -
Emerging Adulthood: Psychosocial
(2011-2018) I was shy as a child and still consider myself to be pretty reserved now. I have a few close friends who I see pretty regularly. I only work during the summer but I hope to find a job during the school year to help pay for school. -
Adulthood: Biosocial
(2018- 2058) I expect to still be very physically healthy. My vision started declining in my teen years so I imagine that will continue to decline. Wrinkles will probably begin to develop but Im hopefully that my hair will not be greying so soon. -
Adulthood: Cognitive
(2018-2058) I plan to have a successful career as a doctor during this time. I plan to work hard at my career to improve my abilities over time. -
Adulthood: Psychosocial
(2018- 2058) I hope to be married to a loving huband with 2 or three children. I want to maintain a close knit family similar in some aspects to my family growing up. I hope to remain close with my sister and brother and my parents. -
Late Adulthood: Biosocial
I hope to still be living independently with my spouse and not in a nursing home. My hearing and vision are probably still declining and I probably have grey hair. I will probably still remain active, maybe just walking or biking. Hopefully I will not have developed any diseases but alzheimers and dimensia do run in my family. -
Late Adulthood: Cognitive
I will probably be doing puzzles to keep my mind still working. My goal is to prevent developing alzheimers like my grandfather. I know I will start to lose some information processing and memory abilities but I hope I am still able to know and recognize my friends and family. -
Late Adulthood: Psychosocial
I will be retired from my medical career and maybe doing volunteer work in my community. I hope to still be sharing a nice home with my husband and watching my children grow as adults. I hope to still be able to care for myself and go to weekly bingo tournaments or my grandchildrens school plays. -
Death and Dying
The life expectancy questionaire I took in class said I'll live to be about 94. My grandparents both passed away in their early 80's but I hope to continue to live healthy and prolong my life a few years. Hopefully I die of natural causes and do not have to worry about hospice or advanced directives. When it's finally my time I hope to have accomplished a lot and leave with no regrets.
