ITS A GIRL!
My dad was ecstatic about having a little girl and so was my mom. I was born at 10:11 in the morning; however my birth certificate says 10:11 pm. -
Walking (biosocial)
I was very adventurous from an early age and the first of my two siblings to walk! -
Proceed with Caution! (Psychosocial)
I was very cautious of new people and did not like anybody other than my caretakers taking care of me. My parents tried to hire a babysitter and I bit them because I was so upset. -
Yes, Please! (Cognitive)
I was able to understand what words like no, yes, stop, please and thank you meant. I like to be praised for doing the right things like sharing with my brothers. -
Did you hear something? (Biosocial)
I finally started to talk full sentences at age four. My brothers and parents would always talk for me so I felt I did not have too. I also had trouble pronouncing words and was embarrassed so my mom had to take me to a speech pathologist. -
And you are..? Psychosocial
I liked to play with my dog and my brothers, but did not like the other kids at school. When a student would come up to me at the sand/water table I would just stare at them. -
Puberty :( (Biosocial)
I started puberty. During the last day of our very disturbinng sex education class I went to the bathroom and notice I started my period. I was devistated to say the least. It was all down hill from there. -
OMG!! (Psychosocail)
I was interested in hanging out with my friends, dating, and how I looked. My friends and I would look forward to going to the mall and movies every weekend. The most important thing was making sure people liked me. -
GOSSIP TIME LADIES! (cognitive)
As an adolescent school stopped becoming a learning place and more of a social playground. I would take classes because friends were taking them, not because I it was pushing my academic abilities. -
YOU DID WHAT?! (Cognitive)
I began to logically reason situations and determine whether a situation was safe or not. However, I did not always listen to myself. For example, I knew it was not safe for me to get into a car with guys I just met and I knew what the consequences would be, but I did it anyways! (Girls can be stupid at this age) -
Love is in the air! (Psychosocial)
I started dating my first ever real boyfriend. We would go on dates and talk everyday. I was devastated when the "relationship" ended. -
mmmm healthy diets (Biosocial)
During high school I ate French Fries and pizza and pop nearly everyday for lunch and was still skinny! It is safe to say that I had diet deficiencies. For example, calcium and iron were rarely in my diet. -
Finally thinking for myslef (Cognitive)
I finally realized that stereotypes were not true! Sitting in college classes taught me all different kinds or people were present for different reasons. None of those reasons had anything to do with the stereotypes I had believed. -
Keep up the good work! (Biosocial)
I started to practice good health habits. I ate fruits and vegetables daily along with exercise in order to reach a goal of good overall health. -
I DO!! (psychosocial)
I married my best friend! We deal with conflict very often, and although it is difficult at times, our line of communication remains open always. -
I hope NOT! (Biosocial)
My hair will be completely grey! I will, for the first time, die my hair blonde! -
BABY TIME (Cognitive)
Our first child, baby hodge, will be born at 10am very quickly. He will be 6 pounds and 2 ounces. I will have a quick Motherly instincts and keep my baby close to me. -
Can someone say issues? (Psychosocial)
I will buy a new red hot convertible and buy a house on the beach impulsively. (Midlife crisis) -
I am STILL hot. (Biosocial)
I took my grandson to the swim club one afternoon so he could practice his swimming. When we entered the pool the lifeguard told me I look like a great young mother. He was being sarcastic and showing prejudice towards me or ageism. -
Up in the country (Psycological)
My husband and I are now retired and enjoy many days up north at our cottage. We are both extremely happy we are able to spend so much time together and enjoy our amazing little grandchildren. I am finally able to afford my beautiful decor in my home and share my wealth with my family. -
"I did not forget THAT?!" (Cognitive)
I forget things quickly. It is very frustrating and I realize that I cannot remember things that happened not too long ago. However, I am able to remember things from years into my past. However, I still am able to go to BINGO just fine! -
RIP Gabriella M Hodge
I will be pass peacefully in my sleep ten days after my 95th birthday. I will then be cremated. There will be a small intimate ceremony. My ashes will then be joined with my husbands and spread from a mountain top so we can forever enjoy the earth we grew old on. We will have a special spot in the park where our family members can visit to remember us.
