6.2-Companionship
Bryanna was my companionship growing up, we would hang out and do whatever we find together. No matter whether if it didn't interest us or not, we still went ahead and did them together. She's the kind of a friend that I will probably never forget. We would learn, do things together, and overcome our fears together by doing things together that we wouldn't dare to do it alone. -
6.3-Stimulation
Ashley and I became close after our creativity that came in handy eventually. Which made things exciting, she is always stimulating me with new ideas, new thoughts and new perspectives. She's the type of a friend that will always keep me entertained as I keep her entered as well. -
7.3- intrinsic motivation
I was in middle school and I remember taking a class that we were required to put parts together such as cars or airplanes using glues and specific kind of papers. It was so much fun and rewarding every single time I finished building an airplane for my dad (which I think was triggered the motivation) as a gift for his work shelf. It was always challenging because I am already clumsy so I usually had things stuck to my fingers due to monkey glue, I was a self deteremined student. -
7.1-Transition to High School
As it was mentioned in the textbook, there was two big changes I had to encounter which was the autonomy and losing my "top dog" position. I stepped off from my school bus and everything hit me so hard right there. The environment was completely different and I was so small compared to everybody else ( I was big at my school)! I was able to do things on my own and was expected to do it on my own, giving me more autonomy. -
Entering Adolescene
I had a growth spurt from being 5'3 to 5'6 at age 14. It was an obvious sign of adolescene. -
2.2 Niche Picking
When Ashley and I were 14, we blended so well because we both were active such as rollerblading eveyrwhere we go no matter how hot it was outside. Which I applied "active genotype environment corrleation" to this memory. We were the only deaf females lived close, in shape and same sense of humor. -
3.2- Abstraction
At age 14, I'm honest, I am kind, I am committed, I know I am cute, I am very mature for my age based on what people said about me. I would use abstract thinking to anaylze myself and own up my flaws. I am a good person. -
2.1 -Late Maturer
I started my period 3 years ahead of my peers. At age 15, and my breasts was finally starting to develop. There was this part where it states that late maturer tends not to start taking risky behaviors or use drugs and it was actually acurate for me because I started to think about boys after I got my period. So what was I thinking before that, sports for sure. I had to deal with peer pressures when it came to use pads or tampons due to virginity isssues. Tampons won. -
6.1-parent adolescent conflict
I was 14 when the conflict started and it lasted for 4 years. My mother and I have completely different expecations, she wanted me to dress up being conservational when I wanted to dress my own way aka my generation looks. Would not allowed me to shave and make up, until Track came. She decided to let me shave my legs when I was 15 because I did not want to have hairy legs for my running events. I am not sure how she finally came to agree with me on this, the makeup came later when I became 18. -
“4.1-Gender-typed behavior
There was so many girls who played house and played as a teacher when it came to role playing, the boys would play rough when it came to sports, wrestle or any sort of compeititon that was happening. I knew too many boys who got skinned knees more than I can count how many girly girls I knew. Girls are known for feminine behaviors and boys are known for mascualine behaviors. -
“4.2-Non- Gender-typed behavior
There was several girls that labelled themselves as a tomboy. They would wear oversize clothes to suit their comforts. They would speak in masculaine attitude and they would play and discuss about sports. A guy I knew was into clean stuff, he enjoyed playing barbies and houses. He did not like to play sports or even try. He wasn't very masucaline or atheletic -
3.3- Differentiation
I don't talk to my teammates about my personal life so I act like I don't do anything else but go to school and run. My parents thinks I want to run for the rest of my life, I didn't think so at that time. My best friend was there, I could be myself. I put myself in certain roles to meet each of their expectations of me. -
3.1 - personal fable
My personal fable was when my parents told me they were getting a divorce, I broke up with my 2 years boyfriend, my dog ran away. All of that in one month and I didn't think my brother could relate to me if he was in college when everything was going downhill. As years goes by, I learned that it affected him differently so we could relate for once. -
Emerging Adulthood
I got kicked out of my parents house. I was left on my own so that forced me to get a job, a place of my own and bills to pay. I wasn't fully responsible yet but was starting to learn how to be an adult. -
8.1-Rite of Passage
Although I did not have any traditional passage to adulthood and was not formally introduced when I had my rite of passage into adulthood. I left home after being sheltered for years and relying on my parents for whatever. I felt like this was considered as rite of passage for me because it forced me to do adult things, learn about adult stuffs and act like an adult. I ended up getting a job which was another big change for me. I was able to see the world the whole new way. -
Recognizing my adult's identify
This was me being 23, realizing that having a degree would meant that I could get far in life and ensure stability in my life since I had to be my own mother. -
7.2-Transitioning to College
I waited until I was 23 when I decided to attend college. It may not be the same experience as most college students however we have similiar experiences such as being overwhelmed which eventually led to depression. The bright side is that college has given me plently of opporunities to explore diversity and allows me to do exploration. College is training me to become the person the society wants me to be in order to fit in. <---this sounded like a grown up me, stating from the textbook. -
In full effect of adulthood
At being age 27, everything was hitting me, I realized that I had to take care of my credits, I started taking care of myself the right way and by that I mean start going to the doctors, I started calling back to everybody, I learned how to pick my battles and I also started to pay attention on what was important in life.
