My parents split up
My parents split when I was around 4 years old because my dad was an alcoholic and my mom could not cope with his behavior anymore. I used to wish, when i was younger, that they would get back together and we could be a family again. However, as I got older, I realized that my life would be completely different and I would not want to change anything. This experience changed me cognitively and socially because I would envy my classmates who had a two-parent household. Biologically, I was growing -

I began my menstrual cycle
I started my menstrual cycle when i was 12 years old and it was over Winter Break of my 6th grade year. This event altered me cognitively because I had never had to worry about maintaing my personal hygiene too much until I started puberty. i generally I had my mind on other things. Biologically, I started to grow hair in strange places like my underarms and my body was changing as i began growing breasts. Socially, I changed because i become a tad bit outigoing and less shy. -

My dad passed away
When my dad passed away, I was in shock and the rest of that year and even bits of my life before it happened have been erased from my memory. In the year after he died, I went "numb", basically. I also went through a depression and felt really badly of myself. I was so sad, in fact, that i did not want to live any longer. Socially, I became quieter and I didn't make many friends after that. Cognitively, I thought there was no point in living and questioned "why?" Biologically, I was depressed. -
I began TAG
TAG is a group counseling program that stands for Teen Age Grief. I began TAG and was extremely hesitant. As time went by, I began to love the people who I met and realize now that TAG has changed me forever. I changed in my thinking of myself. I used to think harshly and critically of myself but I soon began gaining confidence. Biologically, I was happier which meant that I had more endorphins. Socially, I began making a lot more friends and created a better relationship with my family. -
Moved into our 9th house
I have moved 9 times growing up. I have lived in many places around/in LA, but my mom has pushed to make sure that we stay in the same school/district for all of these years no matter what. Cognitively, I find it odd that people have lived in one house their entire lives because I find it routine to do the same things and see the same things everyday for my whole life. Socially, I have never had neighborhood friends and find it strange because it is something that I'm not used to. -

Step sisters taken away, put into foster care, then given back
My step mom had custody of my step sisters after my dad passed. She could not take care of the 3 girls and my dad's family could see that. We got the child services involved and my sisters got put into the system. My dad's family did all they could to get my sisters back and now they are in our custody. Socially and cognitively, this experience made me appreciate my sisters more and respect the foster care system. Biologically, I was sad at the start and then grew to be extremely happy in result -

I start college at Marymount College, Palos Verdes
This transition of high school life to college life will change me in many ways. I will change cognitively because I will have to adjust to being an adult and think about things in life that I would not have to worry about before. Socially, I will join new clubs at school and make life-long friends. Biologically, I will stop growing in height and my breasts will also stop their growth. College life will change me forever, from what I've heard. -

I pass away
I will die in my sleep beside my husband. At 65 years old, I die from cancer.
I believe that when we all die, our spirits will go to either heaven or hell. God will forgive our sins only if we are able to put our pride aside and ask him. We will live in peace and happiness in heaven or suffer in hell for all eternity. I believe that our afterlife is our reward or punishment for the way we lived our lives on Earth.
