First Two Years: Psychosocial Development
Classic Secure Attachment; Every time the song by Lionel Richie came on when I was in the car with my mom, I would just stop, stare and smile at her. She still tells the story to this day. -

I would look forward to the end of the school year, not to just be off of school. I would look forward to spending the night at my grandma's. I would stay as long as I could. I looked up tpo her so muc, attached to her hip. -
The kids finally won (Biosocial & Cognitive)
After many many years of begging and pleading with our parents, we finally convince them to let us get a puppy. We pick up a 9week old australian shepherd, black and white. We name her Pepper. My siblings and I have a big responsibility now. -
Adolescence: Psychosocial Development
I graduated High School today. First step in going out into the real world now. -
The worst day of my life!!!
Suddenly, my grandmothers beautiful heart fails her and she becomes an angel in heaven. -
A step for my future
I start the nursing program! I am enrolled in my first nursing class, pharmacology. Little did I know, I would meet three fellow classmates, whom would turn out to become part of my family. My three best friends. -
My first “Blind Date”.
One of my closet’s friends from nursing school, thought it would be a good idea to set me up on a blind date. Little did I know……. -
Emerging Adulthood: Psychosocial Development
I graduated from Nursing School. I have an associate’s degree in Nursing, though I have not yet turned 21 yet. My grandmother would be so proud! -

Big mile stone in people’s lives, turning 21?! Look out here I come. Also in July, I passed my nursing boards!!! I am official now, I have a license in Michigan -
My First Job as a RN
I got my first job, at St. Mary’s Hospital in Livonia. I am just barley legal to vote and drink, scary to have my first job, taking care of people. Scared to be so young, how will people treat me?! -
Not just a blind date…..
That blind date, turned out well. He (Scott) popped the question, while up north for a romantic getaway. He did good too -
Here comes the bride…..
Scott and I are married. -

If dreams could come true....
Win the lotto!!! ;) -
Enjoying my life
I just want to be enjoying my life, watching my children grow up. Enjoy making memories with my family. -
Parents
My parents will be in their 80's now, hopefully in decent health. Will be helping take care of them along with my sister and brother. Last resort, nursing home. Depending on their health they will live with one of us, kids. -
Adulthood: Psychosocial Development
Hopefully by 60 I will be retired. Though realistically I might have to work a little longer. Hopefully, my health will permit it. -
Late Adulthood: Psychosocial Development
Hopefully, by this stage in my life I will have continued to be happily married. I will for sure be retired!!! I will be able to spend these years with my family. Maybe even grand-children to spoil. I would love to see my spouse and taking advantage of life more, enjoying life. Like traveling, taking classes, and enjoying the outdoors. -
Late Adulthood: Biosocial Development
Although in this stage of life, you are no longer able to fight the aging process, I hopefully will have taken good care of myself in the years prior. With healthy eating habits, no smoking and lots of massages!! Even though I might have to encounter acute decrease’s in hearing and vision. Hopefully, at least by this stage of life, my stress level will be low, so that doesn’t speed up the aging process. -
Late Adulthood: Cognitive Development
In this stage of life I get to look forward to slower brain processing/ thinking. Less effective memory and control processes. I will be at higher risk for diseases that affect the brain, like dementia and Alzheimer’s. On the other hand, I will be entering my “golden years.” I will have the wisdom that comes with age. I will look back at my life, hopefully with feelings of happiness, fulfillment and great perspective. -
Death and Dying
Based on the “Life Expectancy Calculator” I am predicted to live to a ripe old age of 88. Hopefully, I pass peacefully in my sleep, without suffering.
