Recommended: The Impact of Divorce on Young Children and Adolescents

P1: Diagnostic Essay As studies show learning new things can help with the growth of your brain. It can be with the simplest things for younger children and adults. Everyone learns something new everyday, our brains grow with all the new stuff we learn. In my situation i had to learn how to move on with my life and learn how to do things on my own. As a young child of six years old i didn't really understand what the words divorce meant. All i knew is that my dad just wasn't going to be living at home with me and my family. I have two older sibling, a brother and a sister. They knew what was going on and understood more than i did. Being the baby of the family and a daddy's girl it was hard for me to adjust to my dad not being around all …show more content…

It necessarily wasn't important things, but little things in life that my dad would just help me with when he was around. Without my dad i had to practice baseball on my own, i had to do my homework on my own. Things like that my dad was always there to help me for i had to figure out by myself now. My mom and sibling were to busy with their own problems it was hard for them to help me as well. As i was doing things on my own i knew i was learning a lot more. I was become more wise. I had become very independent and i work my brain to its full capacity. Everything i did i challenged myself to the max to be the best i can be. When it came to school work i was the one who didn't need mandatory help i just went to get extra help to open up my mind more and get more information and to learn new things. For me being in that situation where your parents are getting a divorce and you are six years old it is tough, but i feel like it made me learn more. It made me a stronger person, it taught me a lot, it taught me how to be independent. I learned so much on my own at a young age i feel like it paid off as i got older because i had the mindset that i always had an open mind and i was ready to learn. I still think till this day that i learn something new every single day and that my brain continues to grow. I am still very young and have so much more to learn so my brain has a lot more to

Most of the time I would never go to my friends house at the time I wanted to go at. I either had to wait for my mom to get home from work or go super early. Something if I wanted to go out and do some active, I couldn't if my mom couldn't find a babysitter to watch my little brothers.
