1.1 The Beginning
I felt like this was when I start to become as an adult because when I first came to Gallaudet University, I was on my own and learn things on my own. my social age has changed when I came to Gallaudet that time and met new people.

2.1 Oxidative Damage
As I read the book about this situation, I recommand to start in your twenties because our health will go down hill if we do not take care of it now. It is important to consume fruit and vegetables. it is best to eat blueberry 1 cup per day, as the book stated. the benefits for eating healthy now it that our memories will improve and our motor coorportaes by decresing of oxidative stress. if we want to have good memories for our future, then we should improve our eating habits. -
Genetic Limits
the section about animal and human comparison but mostly about living longer in human life and how to be the same as animals. I thought Telomeres was interesting. This discuss about our cells like a "time keeper" and how the divisions slows down because issues we are facing: osteoporosis, type II dieabetes, chronic stress, lack of exercising, etc. based on genetic for shorter telemoere relate to premature aging and age related disease and heavy/ light exercise. we can live up to 110-120 years -
2.4 potential consequences of my lifestyle
I am obesity and I am risking my health and not having a good lifestyle. Obesity can lead me to numerous conditions, and I do not exercise regularly, go to the doctor to see if my health is ok. I need to exercise more often than I should and sleep more. I can prevent more health conditions before my health gets worse. When I hit 50; I will no longer have the motivation, and adapt a better life style for my future. Then I would not have to worry about cancer, and diabetes. -
2.3- my current life style
I do vegetables but not often and I do not really eat fruit every day. I barely drink soda but I do drink a lot of juice and water. I used to smoke cigarettes but I quit for stress but I manage other ways to handle my stress. I do not drink moderate alcohol, I do not really drink at all. I barely use sunscreen during the summer but I am usually inside all the time. I would like to exercise more often but I have to have motivation to do it. it hard for me to change i stress out all the time. -

7.1 Fowler
My life story is began here at Gallaudet because I was ready to take an adventure with my life. I wanted to leave home, wanted to go to college, and meet new people and make new friends.

3.1 semantic memory
I believe at this time period I might have semantic memory because as I do get older, my memory will probably start to deteriorate. I am now on the process of not rememering alot of things. If someone reminds me something like homework or an appointment, I have to write things down for me to rememeber. As now I am wrting things down for me to get used of the idea of habit. It just something that I cannot hold informaton for a very long time. Only thing I can do is to write things down on paper -
ADL (active daily living): decision-making
Even now I am having diffculties on making-decisons. For an example: if my friends want to work out or work together for homework, etc..., it wil take me for a while to make my decision on what I want to do. it is not because I do not want to do anything, but just thinks what is my priorities. the only solution I have for this if my friends inform me ahead of time, then I would not have issues on making decisions. -
6.3- Generativity-Erikson
As I was watching Celine Daze's video about her step-dad, about her step-dad about his Ego Integrity vs despair. What I mean is that he has dealt with in his life while growing up and he is statisfied with his life. I do believe in Erikson's theory of wisdom. When I hit 65 later, I hope I will be satisfited with my life because I am enjoying it now and I am living it. I will look back in my life from all of my accomplishments that i did. -
6.4- Conscientious
As I was watching Celine's video, discussed about her step-dad's life, I though of myself if I was in his position about conscientiousness. Even though now I am working on my goals about graduating from Gallaudet, and continue to get my PhD and get a job. My achievements is striving because I have some of my accomplishment completed. By the time this year comes, I would be staisfied what I have done for my future -
