A view of Kathryn's life.

  • The birth of a little...Girl?

    April 30th 1988, my parents Steve and Tina had their friend over for dinner. A meatloaf dinner. Little did they know during dinner they would be going into labor. After being rushed to the hospital in a few short hours expecting a baby boy my mom finally delivered me, a healthy baby girl.

    Kathryn's life

  • Babysitters- Psychosocial Development

    Whenever my parents left us with babysitters, I would cry and cry until they came to pick us up. I remember not talking to anyone and pouting the whole time. I guess you could say I was a momma's girl.
  • Start of pre-school - Cognitive & Psychosocial & Biosocial

    My mother was a working mom since she had us kids. This year I start full day pre-school. Learning new things, and being away from the home and becoming independent from my family for full days contribute to both cognitive (intellecutal development), and Psychosocial (social emotional growth and development). Needing to be potty trained before preschool would contribute to Biosocial development.
  • Start of Kindergarden - Cognitive Development

    Started AM kindergarden, followed by latch-key until my mother could pick my sister and I up from school. This year my sister and I were at the same school which made it easier on my mother. (Sister is 2 years older than I am)
  • Look mom, look what I can do!- Biosocial development

    I was showing my mom what I thought I could do. At the bus stop I decided to spin around in circles on the ice in my shoes to do an ice skating trick. I fell on the ice on my forehead and busted it open. I missed school and landed at the ER with 5 stitches.
  • Started little league cheerleading for the city- Biosocial

    I joined the the WYAA which is our cities little league sports group. I was cheering for football games. I started on JV because of my age and eventually was on varsity. I cheered for 6 years with the city. I loved it. We learned new cheers and learned about football, and I met alot of new friends.
  • Moving schools, 6th grade here I come. - Cognitive Development

    6th grade is middle school. out of grade school and growing up more. 6th graders get the second floor and we get lockers! Assigned lockers with combinations all to ourselves to remember.
  • All I want for christmas is my 2 front teeth. -Psychosocial Development

    Every Saturday night I HAD to go roller skating at the local skate rink. This specific Saturday night, I was skating with a friend when she accidently kicked my skate. I fell forward and my mouth broke my fall, with my two front teeth. I called my mom to come get me and decided to stay, so I handed over my teeth to my mom and continued to skate. I remember not talking to anyone unless I held my hand in front of my mouth so noone could see my two missing teeth. I was embarressed.
  • I made Freshman cheerleading for JGHS! -Psychosocial Development

    Tryouts for cheerleading lasted 4 days, at the end of the fourth day we find out who the new 2002 Freshman cheer team will be for JGHS. Turns out I made it! Practice begins before highschool starts so I will meet new people before HS. Turn out my cheer team became my best friends through out high school and still are my best friends at 25.
  • 16 and feeling free- Psychosocial, Cognitive Development.

    I turned 16, missed the morning of school to go to Secretary of State and get my drivers license! My parents surprised me with a 1999 Mercury Cougar.
  • First broken bone. -Biosocial

    During cheer practice I did a back handspring and landed it wrong and broke my right hand. My right hand is my dominant hand, this was a hard adjustment. I could not shower with my cast on (or tried very hard to not get it wet), took me longer to do any school work which caused me alot more HW. Also It prevented me from competeting in our first state competition that out team took first. I developed anorexia nervosa related to stress (recovered quickly)
