    Elementary School
    I start elementary school at the Shawsheen Elementary school. By second grade I'd determined that I didn't like it at all, but wanted to make the best out of it. I had many friends and an outgoing personality. I fit with Carl Roger's humanism personality theory, where people had to reach for their ideal selves and enhance their life.

    Elementary into Middle Scchool

    I am an awkward, shy child. I kept my friend group small and close due to a loss of friends going into middle school. I play tennis constantly and look forward to vacations (my favorite was going to London). I fit with B. F. Skinner's association personality theory; learning from experience and positive/negative reinforcements.
  • Au revoir, good friend

    Au revoir, good friend
    This year, I had my first experience with death. My cat, Moo, passed away and I did not take it very well, considering the fact that I had grown up with him. This experience is a good example of Albert Bandura's social cognitive theory, where behaviors and traits were based off of experiences, expectations and reinforcements. Ironically, the next year another cat of mine died, and I did not handle that situation well either. This reinforcement is part of my fear of someone close to me dying.

    The awkwardest years of my life

    Going into high school was a wild concept to me. I was not ready for whatever was going to happen. I had less friends then, but formed a very tight group of people with similar interests early on. My future was undetermined; I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life and where I would end up. Here, I fit with Erik Erikson's fifth stage of his social psychoanalytic theory, Identity versus Identity Confusion. I was finding my identity and purpose, as well as my friends and styles.

    Started from the bottom and still have no idea how I got here
    As of now, I am a junior in high school, playing competitive tennis and hoping to play in college. I like photography, writing, reading, and drawing. I am responsible with my studies, work, schoolwork, and am very self-sufficient. I fit well with Alfred Alder's first-born personality type; I can be a bit hostile at times, am very independent, highly anxious and insecure, cautious, and parent-like. I fit well with the ISFJ personality.
