Secure Attachment
At about 8 months old, a secure attachment was formed between myparents and I. My mom, being the primary caregiver, had a more intense attachment with me, but my dad took care of me quite a lot too. This attachment helped me ready myself for exploring the world and making friends later in life. -
Observational Learning
I have two older sisters that I observed very closely and started to pick up on some of the things that they would do. For instance, my sister would play with dolls, and I wanted to play with the same ones, in the same way. Bth her and my parents laughing at this triggered me to want to do it more by operant conditioning. -

Diagnosed with Diabetes
I was dianosed with Type 1 Diabetes when I was 2 and a half years old. This disease has affected me Biosocially from this day forward. It has made me make more health-concious decisions when eating, but also prohibited me from doing some things I wish I could have done. -
Learned how to read
I learned how to read at an early age because my sisters would consistently read to me. Some of my favorite books were by Dr. Suess. -
Started Kindergarden
I started Kindergadren when I was 5 years old. I was always excited to go to school and meet new friends. -

Foot Surgery
I was born with Club foot, which hindered my ability to walk from a young age. When I was 8, it was time to get a huge recontruvtive surgery of my foot so I could continue to grow and be able to walk. I was in a wheelchair for 2 months after this, and had to relearn how to walk. I still have significanly less size and strngth on my right leg! -
Dad lost his job
My Dad worked at Ford Motor Company for many years. When he lost his job, it was hard on my family because he was the only one in the family with a job. My mom had to begin looking for jobs which made me become more independent and understand the value of money a bit more. -
Joined Basketball Team
After I recovered form my foot surgery, I wanted to get into sports ASAP! My sisters played sports all their lives and I wanted to follow in their footsteps. This affected me Psychosocially because I was pushed to get better from my sisters and my teammates, and I became very good at the sport pretty quickly! I could not have done it without the motivation, both form the outside sources and from my intrinsic motivation. -

Joined the Pompon Team
I joined my high school Pompon team my freshman year. This led me to meet so many new (and older) people and give me a sneak peak of how high school would be. Pompon transformed my character throughout high school, as I became competitive and reached the spot of captain my junior and senior years. I took lots of pride in my team as they were all like sisters to me. Pompon also made me into the independent leader that I am today. -
ACT testing and insane stress!
I remember clearly the nearly 2 week span of time that I experienced the most stress in my life. Biosocially, my reactions to this stress showed what kind of person I truly was. I was taking as many accelerated or AP classes as I could as a junior, which landed me in classes with seniors who did not have to take the ACT. I was swamped with homework, college applications, finding out what I wanted to do with the rest of my life, ACT testing and studying, and my sport, Pompon. -
Decided on A College
I had very good grades in high school and was accepted into many big-time universities. However, after lots of reasoning and analytical thnking, I finally decided what would be in my best interest. I had to put all of my immature thoughts away and focus on my future. I chose to go to a community college to save money before I go to a 4 year university for Nursing School. -

Do a powerlifting meet
I have been heavily into exercising and lifting weights nearly everyday for over a year now. I love pushing my body past what I thought I was capable of. I would like to compete in a powerlifting meet to have something to work forward to in my training. Emerging adulthood is a prime time to do something like this because the muscles grow easily and homeostasis is most efficient, keeping me healthy and young! -
Begin Nursing School
I will have to ready myself to make some serious "brain gains" or to learn a lot in terms of crystallized intelligence in order to pass the Nursing Boards. -

Get Married!
I have no date in mind, so this is an estimation, but I hope to get married around the age of 25. -
Have a kid
Biosocially, this will have a great impact on me. I will go through physical changes and will be rewarded with a child. -
Move Out of State
I chose to put this in cognitive development because it would take analytical thinking and lots of tough decision making to decide to move far awy, however, there might be better job opportunities further from home, so my family and I would pack up and move. This would benefit us all. -
Become a Nurse Practitioner
Instead of having a midlife crisis, I am going to take my education and career a step further and become a Nurse Practitioner so I can then specialize in fields of my interest. -

Have a grandkid
This will affect me psychosocially becuase I will have new young ones to play with to revive my youth! -
Start going to church regularly
In my old age, I will go through self-actualization inwhich I want to find my life meaning, perhaps spiritually. Going to church and reading the bible will help me fufill the last stage in Maslow's Heirarchy of Needs, self-actualization.
