3.2 genetic limits
AHA I have found the gene of youth. I have discovered a 27th chromosome that is actually related to aging. The chromosome itself is a genetic defect that causes us all to age. This gene if cut in half can prolong our lives. This change can take place when you are still in utero. Doing this will prolong the Hayflick’s limit, but it is uncertain to exactly how long. We have studied the effects of the procedure and found that it the embryo cells divide multiply hundreds of times. -
7.2 childhood attachment experience
I think this may be because growing up I was a military brat. My father was in the military and we moved all over the country and even outside of the United States. We would live in one location for about 1-3 years then move again. If we didn’t move to another state or country we moved to a new house. So I guess I was never really able to create close bonds and relationships with people, and when I did, I’d lose them and be alone and hurt again. -
11.1 Major Life Event
On September 9,2001 Jim Warren, a close family friend died after his fight with leukemia at the age of 25. In dealing with his death I used two different coping skills; meaning-focused and social coping. I used meaning-focused by saying he wasn’t in pain anymore, and that his younger brother (who died only a year before) needed him now. I used social coping by going to school and crying to a teacher who had known him as well. I also talked with my friends and my favorite teacher. -
1.1 the beginning
I believe that i became an adult when I moved into my own apartment. I believe this date is appropriate because I began paying my own bills and developing my own ways of managing money and school and work. My psychological and biological age was an adult. This event was also a normative age-graded influence because after you graduate is when you are supposed to spread your wings and fly from the nest, so to speak. -
9.2 identitiy
I saw an example of identity in Rebecca’s video of Carl. Carl was not able to identify who he was or what culture/world he fit into until much later in life. His father pursued mainstream and hearing world where as Carl later identified with the Deaf world. When Carl would try to find his identity, his father would block his efforts. Now he, his wife and two kids are all Deaf and very involved in Deaf culture. Carl experienced role confusion until much later in life. -
6.1 young adult role transition
I come out almost every day, but not until I moved away from home. This is a typical time to come out, once people finally know themselves. My role transition happened over a few years. The challenges this transition presents are things such as being scared of people won’t accept you or worse won’t talk to you or be your friend. The first time I ever experienced this big transition I went from being a daughter to a sin. My dad would not look at me. I coped with these by talking to my old teacher -
4.1 My current healthy lifestyle
My lifestyle is semi healthy. I don’t smoke or drink. I only do the things that I just don’t need to do; drink and smoke. But the things that force you to put effort towards it I don’t. I rarely exercise besides the walk around campus and my job. I love fruits/vegies but I don’t eat a real dinner/ lunch meal on a regular basis plus they go bad too fast. The changes I think I should make are as simple as exercising and planning out meals for every day of the week and eliminating junk/fast foods. -
7.1 Adult attachment style
My attachment style is” fearful”. I want a close intimate relationship but once I get close to someone I start finding things “wrong” with them or our relationship, just to give me a reason to back out. My ex girl friend and I were really close, I could see a future with her and I so desperately wanted one. About 5 months in I began doubting our relationship and finding reasons I shouldn’t be with her. In the end I realized it had nothing to do with her. Looking back I see it has been a pattern -
10.1_ fowler
I was told by society and my family that women marry men. I started to consider the reasoning and beliefs behind this at age 16. When I was 19 I realized that I don’t agree with society and my parents. Fairy tales suggest you meet your Prince charming, well what if I wanted a princess instead. What if I, a girl, wanted to be the “prince charming”. I believe my “master story” uses Fowlers individul-reflective faith. I changed my reliance on external authority to internal authority. -
8.1 My RIASEC type
My RIASEC type is SI or Social and investigative. I think this fits my personality as I love to work with and help others. The type of jobs that fit my type is teachers, health care social workers, mental health counselor, veterinarian and nursing. These do match what I am pursing. My major is Social work and minors in Family and child studies and psychology. I want to work in Foster care or adoption. My other dreams jobs were to either teach, become a nurse, or veterinarian. -
3.1 oxidative damage
Based on error theories I have come to the conclusion that there needs to be a way to give a human the maximum amount of antioxidants at the time when their body starts aging. To stop the release of free radicals and the production of damaging chemicals; the best results have been found to put a human into the female elephant. In doing this the human would be placed in a coma for the 11 month gestational period and given trisyoptomy (pill that allows you to breath in fluids). To keep you young. -
8.2 Supers Stages
At the establishment stage I have my career set. My schooling is paid off, I have a good job and my life is on its way. Today I am an adoption social worker I have been here for 10 years and am proud of what I do. At the establishment stage according to Donald super, I am settling down and comfortable with where I am at today. -
5.2-fluid intelligence
I used to love playing games like Sudoku or solving logical equations and statistic type math problems but lately it seems harder and harder to do. What used to take me 3-5 minutes to complete now takes me but 10-15 minutes. I do puzzles like this every morning with my breakfast to help try to keep my working memory.. Well working. -
5.1-Prospective memory
As I age I seem to be having trouble remembering who I was going to call or even to take my medication in the evening. Ways I have found that help me with these problems are when I know I need to call someone I write it down so that after I am done doing what it is I am finishing up I can read who I wanted to call by looking at my note. As for my medication, I have an alarm on my cell phone that buzzes and has written out to take my medication at a certain time every day. -
4.2 Potential consequences of my lifestyle
Today I am 50. I have noticed a slight decline in my health due to my past lifestyle. I am currently at risk of cancer and obesity due to my lack of exercise and my unhealthy diet, and the fact that I don’t always use sunscreen. The fact that Cardio vascular disease and alzheimers don’t run in my family is a big plus. I don’t smoke or drink so that also decreases my chances of obtaining these diseases. Lastly my lifestyle is not sedentary, I may not exercise but I am always on the go. -
9.1 generativity
one example I saw In Luba’s video for generativity was her grandmother concern for the next generation. She had six children and was a stay at home mom and raised them. But she also felt a little bit of stagnation due to the fact that she was a stay at home mom her whole life and didn’t have any work experience. -

6.2 older adult role transtion
Today I am a grandmother. I expect to experience joy and jealousy as I will miss having a baby in my home. I will be a loving, spoiling grandma. I would hope to experience this at a normal age about 66. The challenges that will come along with becoming a grandma are the fact that I am not the mother and I do not raise this child, I do not make the rules. This will be a difficult role to transition to because you have little say. I will cope by raising my children right.
