Crystallized intelliegence challenge because I have to learn balance, foods, budget, cook receipt but it is important to comprehensive what I have to experience. -
4.2- Older Adult RoleTransition
my parents are becoming grandparents now and they will have six grandchildren soon. I have looked up at them and they have been marriage for almost 30. They have 5 children and my mom was more parental investiment theory than my dad because she was full time mother to us but it was difficult life and we were poor. As economic exchange theory, my mom was take responsibility of her kids and housekeeper. My dad was work at young and made pay for us and we needed food to eat and clothes we needed. -

I have get quiz results and my attachment-related anxiety score 4.50, and my attachment-related avoidance score is 5.50. actually I have never been in relationalship in my whole life and I had tried to date with guys but it did not work well.

4.4 Childhood Attachment Experiences
from my childhood, my parents are married for long time but they dont talk much about their marriage. however, they told me not to date high school guys until I gradated.

6.1 My RIASEC type
after taking RIASEC, I have high social score than among hollard's six basic type. I am interesting in helping people thats why I am majoring in psychology but I am not sure I have to continue my education. Psychology is among counselor, social worker, psychologist, clincial, etc. it is hard for me to choose what I want. it is true I am not interesting machinery and physical exertion. I dont like to study biology animal and human because it is too boring for me. -
6.2 Super’s Stages
I am not sure how I choose one of super's five stages but I think I pick maintenance for 45 to 65 age. I think maintenance describe me because I believe it would guard me to achieve. for now I am too young, I am frustate and unsure what I want to or like it. I wonder If I am really interesting in psychology because I am not 100 % confidence. I have no experience internship yet. I have no roles in my family because we just started to build education. however, I have not give up and purse my goal -
6.3- Generativity
I have seen some classmates' video. a person's family had identity have own personal values and goals. over 65 years old, older adulthood really know who they are and what they are. I agree with Erikson about teenages because young children are confuse and dont realize who they are or what they. I like Cara's part presentation about her intimacy without fear because you never be alone or fear you know you have to stay strong and fearless. -
6.4- Conscientious
consicentious stage; I think adolescent through adulthood have learned their own idenitity because of who they are and do not need of anybody's approve. some classmates' video showed that older adulthood's aware of they describe of themself. also it is true they express about emotions and throughts. Autonomous stage, my grandma and mom remind me of their life complex. it always best or worse for them when they were young in their time. they only understand and help children in need and love. -
7.1 Fowler
I pick synthetic conventional faith stage since I believe the truth of God, jesus and bible. also I agree with Fowler's theory because we value our morality and life. in my adolscene, I always make confession to God for what I have done. I know God heard my prayer and I am grateful God protect me and my family and I feel bless. since leaving home and go to college, I make sure that I won't forget or obey God's command and I repreat. I have not give my faith up and I grateful God is there for me -
7.2 Transitions
start with conformist to individualistic, I left home to go attending college in DC which it had been difficult for me. it was because I felt uneasy leaving my family. My family could not help but worried about what happend to me during Gallaudet. I told them I am fine and safe with my friends/ roommates. I would not worry since I lived in dorm for at least. however, I would rather out with my friends instead of being alone. I heard news about being shoots in DC. This was no safe for us. -
7.3 Major Life Event
after reading article, stress describes pressure or tension. staring with emotion-focused coping, when I feel pressure from college or family situation. how I deal with the rejection? i would go to running or ride bicycle, going to movie or shopping is a good example for us because we would forget about stress. According to 318, i agree that alochol or using drug is not good example because they could be violence or harm. I know alcohol can reduce stress but not all how people get that. -
8.1 The End
after go to deathclock.com. I know thats not exactly date and time but i would be 90s because of my sickness. I can image if I will die in the day, but I never know what will happen. LIFE is short. my mom, two sisters write an obituary about me. " she was born and raise in Albania. we found out she was turn out to be deaf. she was loved and special. she was hardworking and sucessful. she always helped family and friends and she put them first before herself. she will be remembered and RIP.
