A Timeline of Ara's Life

  • My early life

    My early life

    I was born on April 6 2004, in San Jose California. My mother at the time told me that after giving birth to me I needed to go to back to Paraguay which is where I grew up for most of my life. Having no sisters or brothers I was the center of attention at our house. Our house was a Korean culture based household, but due to the fact that I lived it Paraguay I ended up becoming a pretty mixed culture child, which eventually helped me in a positive and negative way.

    Years 0-5

    This was when I was going through the stages of sensorimotor and preoperational. The first word that I said was papa which means dad in Spanish when I was about 3 year old. When I was going through my sensorimotor stages I tended to suck on my fingers which my mom didn't like because it hurt my fingers. When I was going through my preoperational stages I moved a lot and fell on the ground hard. Also I moved through countries a lot, not immigrating but more of a lot of traveling.

    This was when the biggest event happened, my mom got cancer when I was younger but this was when I realized that my mom was sick but didn't know how scary it was. This was the times where I was going through Concrete Operational so I was growing up to more of my dads and grandmas ideals than my moms ideals which let made me culturally Korean and Paraguayan because of my father and my grandmother. I lived with my mom when I was older though. I also became more introverted.

    When I was about 12 years old I was very foreclosed about my future job. I wanted to grow up and do the job that my grandma and my dad did which was a Korean market. But through middle school I changed a lot. I went through Elkind's Adolescent Egocentriscm so I thought that my life was the hardest and didn't take into consideration my family and my friends. But after growing and maturing I ended up getting out of that stage and ended up even getting a dream for myself
