I attended North Liberty Elementary School and my 1st grade teacher’s name was Mrs. Camblin. I was an above average student in school. My favorite subject was P.E. because I loved playing games and sports. I also enjoyed art because I loved crafts, but P.E. was my overall favorite. I struggled with the Concrete Operational Stage milestones because I was not able to acknowledge that others’ thoughts and perceptions could be different from mine, I think this is because I just felt like I was always “right”. I also struggled with the object permanence milestone in the Sensori-Motor stage, I just didn’t understand where the object or toy went when it wasn’t in front of me. This didn’t take long to develop though, with help from teachers. I was very outgoing and extremely talkative. Teachers would call me a “Social butterfly”. I made friends easily and I am still friends with most of the people I made friends with when I was young. I was very close with my brother throughout my childhood and I still am currently. Since my parents had gotten a divorce, I only saw my dad a couple times a month at this point in my life. I was not very close with him since he had a drug addiction and an alcohol problem. I have also recently learned that he had also been cheating on my mom. I was close with my mom, but I was not close with my stepdad yet, since he had just become a part of my life. Eventually, I grew closer to him, and I am close with him
Now, that I am older and more mature, I can do the things I have always wanted to do as well as the things I never knew I wanted to do. I can do without authority; I can do without a plan, but all within reason. I can get a job to earn money, and know not to do it away. I can live on my own with said money, but all I could afford is a dismal apartment. At this point, I am all but disillusioned by what I thought was freedom. Though still with my goals, they know longer seem to fit. What I Iooked forward to, I would rather not see.
I, Cecilia Evans Beekman was born in Montclair, New Jersey in 1958. My mother and father were both born in Philadelphia, West Philadelphia within blocks of one another. My mother's parents were from Ireland, both born in Ireland and came into the port of Philadelphia when they were both around 16, so my mother's parents were Irish and she was a first generation American. For my father's mother, she was Irish but really didn't
I was born in Walnut Creek, California on a hot summer afternoon in the year of 1996. When I was only a few weeks old, my mother left my father for good
Growing up for me some would say it was rather difficult and in some ways I would agree. There have been a lot of rough times that I have been through. This has and will affect my life for the rest of my life. The leading up to adoption, adoption and after adoption are the reasons my life were difficult.
There is a quote, of contested origins, having no rightful owner. That quote is recited as follows: "Everybody is a genius. But, if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.” While we stand in hindsight, we often look back upon where we came and what experiences brought us to the point we are now. I think of this quote often as I reflect upon my intellectual growth. I wonder how my life might have been different had I not been told I was stupid. I sat depressed thinking of the intellectual challenges that will face Shane and how those same challenges adversely affected my will to learn. In that moment, I faced a monumental question: If we are comparable thinkers, are we compare
Based on Erickson’s eight stages of development, I am at the sixth stage of development. In this intimacy vs. isolation stage I am learning to develop and share meaningful friendships and
I come from a small family of three. My family is composed of my mom, Sandra, my dad, Matt, and myself. We live in the small town of Crawford, Texas. My parents moved to Crawford from College Station, Texas in 1995. I was born in November of 1996, and have lived in Crawford my entire life. My mom and dad have been exceptional role models, and with their love and support, they have shaped me into who I am today.
When I was 10 months old I moved from Arizona to New York. I do not remember much of the move other than the fact that I lived with my grandparents, on my dad’s side of the family, for a little while until my parents could find the right house. I now have a closer bond with my grandma due to the fact that I lived with her and that she took my family and me in when my parent were trying to find a place to live that was close to family. We did not have any family that lived in Arizona so my parents felt lonely at times.
A small bit of historical information is in order to set the tone for this presentation. I was raised, as most young boys are, learning to read, write, and the other necessary evils of elementary education. My father was finally discharged from the U.S. Army Air Corp. and World War II, where he had been a Lt. Col., and taught the use of the Norden Bombsight to bombardiers and crews of the time. My early years were basically fun years, as I learned how to fish, shoot, hunt, about dogs, cats, and toys…many, many, toys. My mother believed in spoiling me, since I was the only child, and for eight years, I was the only object of me parents’ attention. In 1958, however, that situation changed forever, with the birth of my little brother, and three years later, my little sister arrived. These two events, little did I realize, would have a profound effect on my life. They would alter the way I felt about life, contribute to changes in my personality, and most of all, formed the basis for my later life in general, including my chosen profession.
I was born on December 27, 2003 in Dubuque Iowa at Mercy Hostable at 10:07pm. My mom always like the named Josie so she named me Josie. I had no siblings it was just me my Mom (Julie) and my Dad (Dan.) Two days after I was born my cousin Clair was born two days later but she lived in California. Since they lived in California we flew out to see her. My mom always said I wasn’t a happy child and I'd always cry. I started walking around 9 months. As I got older I started to get poddy trained. Then when I was three I went to day care at Trinity Square. After going there for awhile they had to take down the school so they could make the parking lot to the church bigger. Since they knock down the school we had to find another day care for my brother because I started kindergarten.
During my transition from childhood to adulthood, I have learned and accomplish many things within my education, community, and family. My transition from childhood to adulthood education made me come into reality that everything can’t be done for you and that you have to stay more focused and organized if you want to be somewhere five to ten years from now. My growth in the things that I do in my community such as church and basketball summer leagues made me realize that it is all right to participate and help out for the positive things in my community. In my family, my transition from childhood to adulthood help me to become a more mature and knowledgeable person.
Teachers and peers Teachers played a huge role in my development because I started preschool at the age of two, so I spent a lot of time in some sort of classroom setting and interacted with the teachers. When I was younger a lot of times I preferred to be around the teachers, mostly because being an only child at the time, that was all I was used to. There were times when I did interact with my peers. Most of the time I spent was with my cousin because we had the same class. Once I was old enough to start kindergarten I was confident that it was going to be a cake walk. I met a group of friends and was excelling in class. However, my friends and I had a very hard time getting along, so we were later separated. Throughout my childhood I recall bouncing between several different types of friend groups, from the “cool clique”, to the
As a young child I was a non social person, and did not like to participate in anything. I liked to be an individual person, and do things on my own. I was shy and not outgoing like all my other friends were. When I enter a situation for the first time, I have a hard time speaking up until I feel comfortable. As being as shy as I was, my school work was affected a lot because I would not raise my hand to ask questions if I did not understand something, or go to the teacher for help. It was hard to transition from that stage to being more outgoing and talk more with my peers. It was difficult to communicate with others becuase of this as well, i was not able to be the perosn that i really am.
I was born in Spokane Washington and lived my first three years on a reservation with my mother and my father. When I was three I also started my modeling career until I was fourteen. When I was four my mother remarried and her husband she was with adopted me she was with him until I was five or six. The pieces I do remember from this time were not ones I care to speak about; they still haunt my dreams. I can tell you I was scared of him and still have a hard time speaking to him still today. When I was ten my mother moved me to Portland Oregon for a year. She then decided to move my sister and me to Southern Idaho to keep me out of trouble. She said Portland was no place for a soon to be teenager to grow up. Had she known then what she knows now I think she would have kept me in Portland. I do not remember a lot of the details of my life until I moved to the little town of Filer, located about 160 miles south of Boise Idaho.
Babyhood is the time from when you are born till you 're 18 months old. Like everybody else, I don 't remember anything at all from this time. Whatever I do know is from my parents, siblings and other family members. My mother told me I wanted to appear into this world earlier than I should have. If not for the medications that let me arrive at the proper time, I may not have been here today writing this very sentence. I was born on 19th December, 1999 in Gujarat, India. My parents tell me I was a very quite baby and never troubled them much at all. I would never start crying in the middle of the night, arousing the entire neighborhood. My older brother would often look at me, and state how huge my eyes looked. As a baby, I was very fair, and often was referred to a white egg. Everyone loved to play and touch my cheeks when I was a baby.
