  • First day of travel soccer

    When I was around 7 I played travel soccer for the first time seriously. This was what shaped me to be who I am today with the way I made sports a main focus of my life for a long time. Knowing how to get passed hard times and rough practices tought me how to be a good person and to be tough. Agent was peer groups.

  • First day of 7th Grade

    At this age (12), I was a kid that didn't understand much and most of my maturity and learning how to make friends and fit in rooted from. This influenced me because my friend group and extended friends rooted from this time. It makes me the person I am today because they are the people who influence me. The agent was school

  • First Job

    My first job at 15 was a great step in my life because I was going to work every day and making money for myself on a consitent rate. The main things that influenced me were the workers I worked with and how they acted. My boss was annoying and she shaped me to deal with people I don't like. The agent was the workplace.

  • Got my drivers liscense

    When I got my liscence at 16 I was influenced to do things on my own and on my own time. This was because i was driving to practices, houses, and parties by myself which was an influence for me because you have to be careful and pay attention when you drive. This was the main thing that influenced me to be the independent man I am today. The agent is family because they provided me with the car.

  • Car Crash

    When I was 16 I got in my crash and I went through a tough time thinking I could have hurt myself or others and it was on a happy day (fourth of july) and it taught me to make better decisions, not to text and drive, and to always be looking. This agent was mass media because that is what caused it.

  • Playing my last highschool sport game

    Doing this at age 17 was sad but a realization that helped me look ahead into life. This was with all of my teammates and made me sad seeing them sad. But I also looked ahead and thought of my future and got motivated for my future. The agent of socialization is peer groups.
