When did you start walking?
I started walking when I was about 10 months old -
What was your temperament like as a baby?
My temperament as a baby was very high strung, I cried most of the day, but slept at night. I can remember my mom telling me stories about how during the day, while at home, her and my brother would go hide in his room so they didn't have to hear me scream. -
Were you securely/insecurely attached to your primary caregiver?
I was securely attached to both my mom and dad. When they would drop me off at day care I was very upset and cried, but when they came to pick me up I was very happy and glad to see them. -
An example related to Piaget's stages of cognitive development is when I would cry and scream when my mom or dad put my pacifier in the bag and wouldn't let me have it. I didn't like to go anywhere without my pacifier.

When I was in elementary school I got tested to be in the RLC program. I was accepted into it and was then consider a gifted student. This made me believe that I must have been smarter than some students and that I must have worked harder than others. I can remember getting to leave the classroom at a certain time of day everyday and go into the RLC room and do different activities.

One way I remember my parents and teachers helping improve my language acquisition is through reading. At home my parents would read with me and ask me to read aloud. Same thing at school, we would take turns reading aloud to practice our language skills.

I was envolved in activities such as, jumping on trampoline, dancing, and swimming. I was very active as a child and I really enjoyed it.

I entered puberty much earlier than my fellow classmates and friends. This ultimately had no affect on me.

During adolescence I was furthered my dancing activity into competivite dancing. I started dancing competitively and attending competitions, conventions, and national competitions.

When involved with competitive dance I used a combination of my arms and legs for gross motor skills and my toes and feet to balance with fine motor skills.

During this time I started comparing myself to others more often. For example, my body image as a whole and my skin (face).

As I entered early adulthood I continued dancing very intensively and also began to workout. Both of these activities makes me feel very accomplished and excited.

With intense dancing and working out I used gross motor skills such as, arms, legs, and big muscle groups to lift weights and carry my body throughout the dance. The fine skills I use are more focused balance with both fingers and toes.
