Prenatal Development & Birth
March 11th 1993 was the special day I came into the world. My genes were created and had marked my 23rd chromosome "XX" making me a little baby girl. Having parents with both brown hair, and mother's dark brown eyes, the dominant genes took over creating a baby with brown eyes and brown locks. ...(Adding Birth Cert. Facts to here later such as weight) -

Coming in and out of Life
-
First Two Years; Biosocial
During the first two years of precious life my body had underwent some extreme changes. My weight had just about quadrupled and my brain weight had tripled! My little curious senses were all over the place, as I took in all my strange surroundings. I could see, hear, stare off in space, suck, grab, and babble. In order for all of this proper growing as a baby my parents provided me with great nutrition and mommy breast fed me for quite some time. -
First Two Years; Cognitive
Towards age two I had begun to experiment through my actions and started to develop my own ideas. I created plenty of mental images in my head as well as interacted with few adults like my parents. -
First Two Years; Psychosocial
At this point in time I had grown a great attachment towards mommy and daddy. Mommy had tried to place me in daycare while her and daddy had to work, but I absolutely hated leaving their sides. I threw a fit and little tantrums trying to stay attached to their hip. Eventually with patience and time I was able to be a brave little one and go into daycare and particpate. -
Play Years; Biosocial
Once age six was reached I was a bit of a bigger girl compared to when I was two, although my body was growing at a much slower rate. Parts of my brain began to connect with one another and my gross motor skills were slowly developing more and more. -
Play Years; Cognitive
I developed quite the egocentric personality as this age. I felt as if the world revolved around me and I was super, super important to everyone! My vocabulary took a booming rocket forward, allowing me to know roughly 10,000 words. I developed a lot of my own, made up theories in life, as to why things were the way they were. -
Play Years; Psychosocial
My self esteem was through the roof at this point in life! I thought I was truly remarkable and everyone loved me and wanted to be my best friend. In school it became clear what I was supposed to do vs the boys. Us girls gathered in free time and colored or played dress up...where as the stinky boys played with their toy cars and blocks. -
School Years; Biosocial
My body seemed to continue to grow ever so slow. At age 11 I definitely did not feel much bigger at all, just your petite little Sarah. I absolutely loved physical play in school, running around with all my energy and keeping nice and healthy. I began to gain faster reactions like cathcing and throwing softballs to also better self control. -
School Years' Cognitive
At this point, I was much more open to learning from my teachers and others who impacted my life around me. I could really notice a difference in my memory, knowledge, and control. I was able to understand logic and more in depth problems. -
School Years; Psychosocial
I now was much less dependent upon my parents and more dependent and concerned with my friends. We spent most of our time together playing, talking, laughing, and having fun. I gained more emotional control and really started to understand and be thankful for the household morals and values I was raised to follow. -
Adolescence; Biosocial
During my adolescence I went through poopy puberty, my body really began to change and take a growth spurt. I could noticeably tell I felt different and acted different definitely from all of the hormonal increases. My lady assessts finally seemed to really show and I could tell I was on my way towards being a young lady. -
Adolescence; Cognitive
Once again that egocentrism took over. I often felt as if I were invincible, no one could stop me or nothing would ever happen to me. I could take on anything I set my mind to and felt pretty dang great. Aside from that, I could sometimes come back to reality and also think more hypothetically too. -
Adolescence; Pyschosocial
Everything seemed to be good during these times although family relationships were taking a little total. I was in a weird place of finding my own identity and trying to figure out who I am or what I am supposed to do in life. What was my purpose? Next step? I often rebelled going out with friends, and gained a strong romantic relationship with a boy. -
Emerging Adulthood; Biosocial
This seemed to be when my body was at it's greatest shape. I was physically stong, fit, healthy, and active. I improved all nutrition from years of highschool and growing up to lean meals. I exercise reguraly and avoid risky behaviors like drugs. Everyone continually mentions that my sex reproductive potential reached it's highest peak in time so maybe a baby will soon be underway... ? -
Emerging Adulthood; Cognitive
My religious faith has grown ever so wonderfully and powerful. Experience in life thus far has moved me towards deeper thought and moral analysis. College life has taken underway, providing me wtih the terrific opportunities of meeting people, gaining valubale relationships, expanding my knowledge and new exciting events. -
Emerging Adulthood; Psychosocial
I am continuing my pathway for search of final identity achievment. A lot of financial and varying stress has been added on to life but it is with my stong relations with family that have helped me through it. -
Adulthood; Biosocial
My brain I think is slowing. My skin has become a little wrinkled in the face, my senses less acute, and lungs are reducing in their capacity. I am developing more fat and less muscle...Oh no! I finally hit menopause so ovulation has stopped. -
Adulthood; Cognitive
I have seemed to pick up on some of my itellectual abilities increasing, though others have been decreasing. I feel as if in life I have at least reached a great point; I feel as if I am an expert in what I had chosen to specialize in (Occupational Therapy). I feel life thus far has been wonderful and well lived. -
Adulthood; Psychosocial
People say some of my perosnality traits seem a bit "off" although I haven't quite noticed. Caregiving throughout the past fourty or so years has been life-changing. I can't believe how blessed I was to have three beautiful children of my own. Man, has it been quite the experience. Employment has been ever so satisfying, I am very thankful I never experienced unemployment or switching of careers. -
Late Adulthood; Cognitive
Short term memory has long left me. I am currently suffering from Dementia. The sufferings upon loved ones and caregivers is pretty high, life is not so peachy. -
Late Adulthood; Psychosocial
Before I had reached this state of being, I happily volunteered at the local church for the past few years. My long term relationships gained have shown to be everlasting and amazing. They are supportive, and staying by my side through everything. I even had the blessing of meeting my six grandchildren. Unfortunately I have become very, very frail. Unable to do just about anything. I am currently in assissted living. -
Late Adulthood; Biosocial
Both my primary and secondary aging has seemed to increase my chances of leaving Earth. Most if not all my senses have long gone out the window and chance for disease has become greatly more common for me. I am no longer at an independent, happy state of mind or being. I am not so healthy any longer. -
Death & Dying with Dignity & Choice
We finally have reached an understanding and acceptance that my time here has come to a closure. Family, friends, loved ones have prepared themselves for this date and have said their good-byes. I am just grateful in knowing no one will suffer too greatly from mourning or grief. It has come...my life is taken in my sleep peacefully. Arrangments have already been made and I have been buried and sent to heaven. THE END<3
