In the first few years of my life, I had a pretty disorganized attachment to my uncle. On one hand, he was pretty friendly towards me whenever he came to visit at family gatherings, but on the other hand would get a little overdramatic when I would get in trouble.

One day in my room, I climbed onto my dresser and to the window and attempted to open the window, I noticed the screen, pressed on it, and fell. Because I thought the screen was apart of the window, I thought it was going to be sturdy. After the accident, I learned that screens can pop out of place. -

Going to the Doctors - Ainsworth S.A.
My first memorable time at the doctors was when I was 4 with my Mom. Everything was pretty good, I was able to get through most of my tests easily with my mom being next to me. Once we got to getting one of my shots, I was extremely scared, but knowing that my mom was with me, along with some advice from her, I felt more safe and calm when I was given the shot. Having a secure attachment with my mom helped me have a good experience with doctors, which can be noticed to this day. -
Finding new interests - Erickson 3
As a young and very curious child, I began to try a lot of thing and build interests to some of these things. One of the interests I enjoyed was dancing.

Sometimes when my parents were in the same room, they would dance with me and clap at my performances. -

Donovan's First Day of School (Kindergarten) - Kohlberg 1
When I first started kindergarten, I instantly became respectful to authority figures like my teachers and parents. I was a student who always tried to follow the rules and avoid conflicts or disagreements to not get in trouble. This could possibly be linked to how my mother raised me and how she taught me to behave well in public places and to be kind to others. -

Industry vs Inferiority - Erickson

Building Friendships - Freud 4
On the first week of 1st grade, the sexual stimuli in my body began to repress itself and allowed me to focus on other things to help me develop. One of the ways this helped out was making me more social towards my peers and becoming close friends with them. Most of these friendships lasted a long time. -
Wall Punching - Bandura #2
When I was about 6, I was over at my dads for the weekend. On this particular weekend, my dad had to work one of the days, so my grandmother was watching over us until he got back. When my dad returned home, he was extremely upset and punched the door out of frustration. Seeing him punched the wall for being upset made me upset, so I punched a different door. I then got scolded and told "Don't punch doors or walls or you'll be grounded!" After that I calmed down and didn't punch anything else. -
Loving Math - Piaget 3
When I was first introduced to math in kindergarten, I was immediately drawn to it. The process of combining one number to another to get a bigger number, or even taking a number away to get a smaller number was so fascinating to learn about. I learned really fast how to solve math, so fast that I was placed with the 1st graders during math class. -

Once we completed the paper, we would move on to the next paper. Once you completed the folder, you would be given a reward for finishing the work. After the first week in 4th grade, I finished the folder portion and was rewarded. Being rewarded gave me motivation to complete the next set of papers to get the next reward. -

Figuring out my identity - Erickson 5
Around this time was where I started to find out a lot about myself. One of the biggest things I learned about myself was not being straight, or "normal" back when I was 12 and 13. I first noticed the difference when one of my friends asked me out. From what my other friends told me, they were pumped when a girl asked them out, but to me it didn't feel right. Once I entered middle school I was really able to understand who I really was. -
Expressing Myself - Kohlberg 3
Shortly after coming to terms with myself, I wanted to start expressing myself more in public. I had a few friends who were very supportive, but then there was the reaction from all the other students in the middle school. If I were to start expressing myself more, would their views of me change? Would some of them hate me? I ended up not really expressing myself until 2 years later because I didn't wanna be seen differently in society. -
Living with my Father - Parenting Styles
After moving in with my dad when he moved to Richford, I had a change in parenting styles. Both of my parents were Authoritative, but where as my mom also showed an Authoritarian style, my dad showed a more Permissive style. It was a little hard to get used to at first, not having as much strict guidelines to follow, but after a few days I got used to it and got to appreciate how my dad treated me, even though he wasn't always around for a long period of my life. -
Starting to Drive - Vygotsky #2
When I turned 15, I took my permit test and passed. Once my permit came in the mail, my dad started to teach me how to drive. The first time I ever stepped behind the wheel was a little challenging, I knew the basics of driving, but that was it. The first few times driving I had to be taught a lot of things, like multitasking, making sure I knew my surroundings, and a lot more. With my dad's help and having taken Driver's Ed, I was able to learn how to drive on my own and get my license. -
Learning to Drive - Piaget 4
Having to learn how to drive involved a lot of cognitive thinking and multitasking. Not only do I have to focus on the road, I got to be to use pedals without looking at them, predict other cars movements, and pay close attention to my environment. Parking has a similar situation, knowing how you'll be able to fit with restricted line of sight and making sure you're not going to hit anyone's car. -
Joining Dance - Vygotsky
Dance is one of the greater examples of Vygotsky for me. When I first started the dance season this year, we didn't know anything about our dance routines. In order to learn our dance routine, we had to watch what our coaches wanted us to do and then practice a ton to get the movement down. By the end of the season, we had perfected 2 different dance routines and needed almost no assistance to perform an entire routine. -

If I were to predict the future with my current standings, I would say that my boyfriend and I would've gotten married around our late 20's. While college would've put a slight damper on our relationship, once we both graduated and got a place to live together, we could finally develop an even closer relationship and build up a stronger connection. With a very strong connection, we could become engaged and then married. -
My First Child - Erickson 7
By this point in life, I'll be feeling pretty comfortable, hopefully having settled down into a good job, being married, and having a place to live. My next step in life is to become a father. I want to be able to start a family and teach my kids about life and other things as they grow up. -
Becoming more understanding - Kohlberg 6
Around 40 years old I hope to be able to be able to understand and control stressful situations and calm them down. I'll try my best to understand everyone's reasoning and be able to bring both sides to an agreement, even if I have to bend some rules to do so. In general I don't like conflicts or seeing others in bad situations, so improving myself to help others in the future is an outcome I see myself falling into .in a good way -

Reflection Time - Erickson 8
Towards my later years of life, I'll start to reflect on my life choices and question if I lived a good and valuable life.

We begin to reflect on our lives and if we made the right choices. If we feel that we've lived a good life, we express ourselves in a positive light. If we think our life was miserable, similar to the last stage, we release our anger onto others from our problems.
