1.1 Entering Adolescence
this date is when i became 13 and i remember feeling like a complete teenager, my dad started to treat me a little different, i guess he knew it was coming, so he started to explain about different things that he thought i should keep in mind for my future. Basically, my dad teaching me how to be an adult is what helped me become an adolescent. -
7.1-Transtition to High School
This was the day i was looking forward to, the first day of high school, me and my crew from middle school were all still here, i was feeling good, had a good feeling that my high school years would be good. i didnt really had the top dog phenomenon for a while till i noticed it my junior year. thankfully to my crew, i had a blast during my time in high school -
6.1- Parent adolescent conflict
This is when i came in high school and also shortly after my father died, my relationship with my mother was still as strong as ever, we helped each other with anything that comes in our way, even if i was going throught something that you would need a father figure to help out, but my mother took over that role and made sure i was able to learn through it. -
1.2 Emerging Adulthood
I chose this date because i felt like i gained a lot of responsibility after the passing of my father, i have two older brothers and three younger sisters, so me and my brothers became more active with our family, making it stronger and making me feel like i was an adult. -
8.1- Rite of Passage
this is when i was baptized, i really felt like i was entering another role because i felt different once i was baptized. i felt like i had more responsiblities and i felt more like a man as well. again, this was when my father had passed away, 2 years. -
6.2- Companionship
This is when i started to get close with my friends, after my freshmen year, i learned who i can trust and who not to. All of my friends that i got close to showed their companionship by hanging out with me at a frequent times, especially when i lived at the dorm on campus, they started to support my goals and dreams and i returned the favor -
6.3- Intimacy/affection
this is what companionship can do to you, you'll happen to develop a feeling for one other, this is when i got a girlfriend within the group i called friends, and this was good becuase we all knew each other already, so the trust between us was pretty strong, which helped made my high school more enjoyable for me -
7.3- Intrinsic Motivation
my experience with intrinsic motivation came when i was trapped with two big thing on my plate, football and the school play, they were both during the same time so that really gave me a lot of stress and less sleep but then one day, i just really had to take a day off from everything and it really helped because i recollected myself and told myself to keep going and not to give up and i ended up succeeding in both which makes it one of my proudest achievement -
7.2-Transtition to College
the first day of community college was pretty overwhelming. new face everywhere and of course, me being deaf, i was really isolated till i started to build my confidence and made new friends but the environment is definitely different, it was surely a different type of pressure to be under -
2.2- Niche-picking
this is when i became 21, everything that was going on in my life at that time, i really felt like it was who i wanted people to know. I was working at UPS, I was living life, i was having fun with myself and those around me. ive never felt so alive to experience the different things in the real world. -
3.1- Imaginary Audience.
ths is when i started to feel good about myself because i committed myself to weight lifting and working out. every time i look in the mirror, thinking that i look good, which prompts me to think that i look good to other people too, so i had that mentality that i was on top of the world and it felt good to have that imaginary audience kind of effect because you have that 'voice' in your head that is moviating you to do more -
4.1- Gender-typed behavior
i went to this new year's party and you could definitely see a lot of gender based behavior at parties, the guys are more aggressive to drink and have fun while the girls, they can be aggressive with drinking but they will also set aside to chat it up and express their emotions, which is common when you are under the influence. -
4.2- Non-gender typed behavior.
this is when i enrolled in gallaudet university and i started to make some friends and i started to notice this girl act a little different, later on, i started to think she would be a lesbian (in which im very supportive of) but the more we got to know each other, the more i learned about her, i happened to find out that she was straight but likes to act not so girly, she just likes to be herself, she is very athetic, of course, so that really display the non gender behavior. -
3.2- Self Consciousness
i remember this time being around homecoming and that means a lot for gallaudet, it also means drama as well, new people and old people coming in, some bad history will fall through, so i had encoutered some problems and it got to the point where i needed my friends opinion of what i should do and his advice really impacted my self understanding of the situation -
3.3- Differentiation
this was new years once again, and this was a bit different, ive started to realize, within my age, ive acted different towards a situation that i would probably have handled it differently, take my education for example, im more focused and more balanced with my time management, while when i was younger, i didnt really think it was that important, same goes for all the deciisions that ive made in the past compared to now
