I was born on August 8, 2005, at Kaiser Permanente in Woodland Hills at 9:15 PM. My parents are Victor Santos and Lorina Punsalang. I'm an only child and I am Catholic. My parents began as permissive, giving me freedom and control of my life when I was younger, but as I got older, they started to become authoritarian parents by creating rules, giving me chores, and more. -

Developmental Milestones or Baby milestones are achievements that newborns make. Developmental Milestones aren't always the same as it may take some extra time for babies to achieve something later than another baby would. For example, walking and crawling. -
This is another example of Developmental Milestones. It took me around 8 months to stand up and crawl, while it might take other babies less time or more time. -
In Erikson's stages, after your early childhood comes preschool. I started preschool around at age 3 and that was where I started to figure out my purpose and independence for things.

-
The start of my kindergarten influences a bunch of new comings and learnings to me. In relation to Freud's Psychosexual Theory of Development, I was able to identify love and sexual thoughts. I also met my very first childhood crush, Tatiana (I hope she doesn't see this). -
In Kindergarten, I started to socialize more and talk more. I made my very first friends. The Kohlberg theory for early grade school focuses on living up to social expectations and roles. In Kindergarten, I was very focused on making new friends and doing whatever was "right" in consideration of my relationships.
-
By this point in time, I'm in 3rd grade. I skipped 2nd grade and here, I'm questioning on if I can make it in the world. I was focused on bringing my grades up, and impressing everyone around me, including my parents, friends, and family.
-
-
By the end of elementary school, my main focuses were keeping my grades up and considering society as a whole when making decisions. Kohlberg's Late Grade School theory is about maintaining law and order by following the rules, and doing one's duty and respecting authority. -
-
When I entered 6th grade, my parents suddenly became a lot more strict and demanding of myself. This includes getting good grades, participating in service hours, and receiving my Communion. The Authoritarian Parenting style is where the parents attempt to control, shape, and evaluate the behavior and attitude of their child(s) with a set of conduct. My parents gave me extra tutoring for my grades, made me go to Catechism, and do service work.

Not long after I started junior high, my friends were expecting me to behave in a way that they're familiar with. I made a commitment without exploring other alternatives. In relation to Marcia's theory, I was conforming to the expectations of others to keep my future relationships and friendships. -
In 7th grade, I discovered new alternatives of my social life. I discovered anime while I was browsing through YouTube. In regards to Marcia's Identity Moratorium, this is one of the various alternatives. Another one of the various alternatives is that I was introduced to smoking and vaping by friends. This would count as an ill formed commitment. -
In 8th grade, I had my first girlfriend, Genna. In reference to Erikson's stages, this can be alluded to my young adulthood as it shows a prime factor of me finding love and commitment.
-
In order to keep my social status and make sure I wasn't made fun of, I gatekeeped certain things to myself such as anime, my music taste, and others. In accordance to Jung's Archetypes, I used my persona to the outside world to think that I was just a normal teenager, when in reality, I was a nerd who watched anime and played a bunch of video games.
-
By the time I started high school, I was focused on building up relationships and friendhips. I had a pretty big friend group, and I was constantly interacting with my friends on a daily basis inside of school and outside. However, my mindset of keeping these temporary friendships soon changed. -
By the time sophomore year rolled around, my friend group has shortened and because of that, I was able to get closer and more comfortable with a few people. During this time, I started to account for the differing values and opinions of other people. I started thinking that the rules of law are important, but the members of society should agree upon these standards in reference to Kohlberg's Theory.

-
Marcia's theory of Identity Moratorium explains that after exploring various alternatives through vague or ill formed commitments, you have now overcome past problems and are in a healthy crisis. Through the teachings at Chaminade and hard work, I believe that I will make it at UCLA. -
-
After going through the hardships, stress, and troubles of medical school, I finally graduated. By this time, I have made a commitment to a sense of identity, and went through an identity crisis. -
Here, I get my job and according to Kohlberg's adulthood theory, I follow the internalized principles of justice, even if they conflict with laws and rules.
-
-
-
Here, I find true love and love itself by getting married. The outcome of getting married is my commitment and willing the good of my significant other as other. -
As I find my true self and meaning in life, I make the decision to take care and nurture for not only myself, but my family. This will include my future kids, parents, and my wife.
-
In relation to Freud's theory, my focus is adult sexuality and expanding my family by having 3 triplets! -
I gave my kids education by allowing them to go to school. This shows my empathy and concern for my family and others.
-
-
I show my generativity by spreading my knowledge of medicine to the youth. I'm showing empathy and concern not only for my family, but to the rest of the world. -
I start a healthcare organization called ViSan. This organization serves as a place to take care of people in medical need, the aged, infirms, and the youth. In relation to Erikson, I'm spending as much time and effort I can to make my life count and be worth it. The outcome will be the empathy and concern for others. -
-
Alluding to Erikson's theory, I have given all I can and done the best I can. From this, I can gain fulfillment and watch as my organization grows and evolves.
-
Here, I believe that I've given all that I can and the best that I can in my medical area of surgery. I feel self integrity and fulfillment as I will let my kids and the rest of the generations continue my work and legacy.
-
-
I am showing integrity and fulfillment by giving away all of my belongings and money to my three twins and my wife equally when I pass away.
-
My children will expand my family even more by creating families of their own, making me a grandfather. Freud's theory of development explains adult sexuality and family expansion. -
As I age and age, my body becomes weak and I lose control of my legs, forcing me to live the rest of my life in a wheelchair. The maturity of the human body involves weakening after experiencing its prime. The outcome of this stage would be despair and dissatisfaction. -
Traveling the world with my family connects to ego integrity vs despair because I feel like at this point in life, I'm trying to accomplish anything and everything I can for fulfillment and self integrity. -
-
Once again, I'm giving my all to teach and spread my knowledge of medicine to the youth and future generations of society. From this, I will gain fulfillment and happiness. -
-
For one last time, I spent my last moments with everyone I was connected to. Friends, family, coworkers, staff, will all be invited to probably my biggest and last party. I celebrate life with a banger party as this will result in both fulfillment and despair, looking back at all of the old times. The hardships I've gone through, the stress I've had to overcome, the fun moments I've spent with my friends and family. These memories and moments will be shared and never forgotten.
