I was born on July 27, 2001, at 12:30 pm in India
-
This is the first stage in Erik Erikson's theory of psychosocial development. I relied on my parents for my basic needs as it helped develop a secure attachment to them, especially my mom.
-
During Infancy, with the information my mom has given me, I had secure attachment to my primary giver, my mother.
-
I used to play with rattles and also peek-a-boo as they helped me get used to the environment around me. During this period, I had not learned the concept of object permanence yet.
-
I started crawling and then eventually walking. I would play with toys and my parents would encourage me to use my gross motor skills.
-
My first memory is playing at the park with my mom and her pushing me on the swing at the playground. I was 3 years old.
-
My mom would read to me and make me read to expand my vocabulary. She would also point things out and regularly ask me what they were so she could understand my progression
-
I used to play catch with my friends and I started drawing pictures as my gross/fine motor skills improved
-
During the period of early childhood, I enjoyed being with my mother and she and I had a secure attachment style.
-
I had drawn on the wall and was told it wasn't okay, which made me feel guilty.
-
I used to play doctor with my playset and pretend that I had patients that I was curing. I also played with more toys like building blocks and play-doh
-
I began taking gymnastics and tennis classes and exercised regularly
-
I used to study for my math quizzes by doing a lot of practice problems that my mom would write for me to solve.
-
I used to go to the McWane Science Center and observed the different stations and figured out the different physics laws to help me understand science while having fun
-
At the age of 13, I got my period. It was a huge change in my life and the beginning of puberty that brought many changes to my physical and mental health.
-
As a teenager, I tried to recognize what strategies helped to deal with stressful situations. I would take a walk to relax from a stressor. I would also take some time to work out or do yoga. It also helped me to paint to distract myself from a certain stressor.
-
I continued gymnastics and worked out pretty often to stay fit and healthy. I would also try to eat better consciously to stay in good shape
-
I became less physically active during my adolescence years.
-
My mom is a single mom who raised me on her own and it has made us really close to one another. She has always been there for me and helped me become a confident, selfless person and I believe it has led me to a secure attachment to her.
-
I started to participate in group discussions in high schools that dealt with larger concepts than general facts and it helped me develop more critical thinking.
-
My friends and I would use certain slangs to each other than were significant to our relationship. For example, we would say "it be like that sometimes", it represents a situation where we weren't in control of what was happening.
-
Many emerging adults know how to be healthy but don't apply that information to their own lives. I realize that I could be much healthier but I sometimes choose not to
-
My mom had anemia and my dad had high blood pressure so I have to try to work out regularly to make sure I live a healthy lifestyle to ensure good physical and mental health for my future
-
My height is going to remain constant until Middle Adulthood
-
I have stopped working out as much as I used to but I am trying to get back in the habit so I can stay healthy
