When I was 14, I was hanging out with my friends. We hit a rough patch of black ice which made us crash into a tree. I hadn't experienced anything like this before, I was scared for my life for the first time. This influenced me to be extremely careful who I let drive me around as well as what the weather is.

When I was 15 I moved out of my house in Oxford into a new house in Romeo. This caused me to learn how to adapt to a new school half way throughout the year. During this time it was very hard for me, catching up on what Romeo had been teaching, learning where my classes were, and making new friends. Although this time was very hard for me it taught me that I can adapt to new environments no matter how hard. The agent of socialization is peer groups.

When I was 16 I went to the mental hospital. This caused me to learn how to focus on myself and what I want. I knew that I wanted to get help and get better from other friends and seeing things on the internet. While I was there it was a hard time being away from family, having a bad shower, bad food, and not having any friends. But this taught me that sometimes you have to put yourself first and focus on whats best for you. The agent of socialization is peer groups, and media.

When I was 16 I got broken up with by a girl who I was with for a year and a half. We talked about everything and did everything together, I thought I was going to marry her. This made me realize that even if you think someone is the love of your life, people change. I realized that focusing on your future is more important than being in a relationship in high school. This influenced me to focus on my future and not ruin myself over a girl. The agent of socialization is peer groups.

When I was 16, my dad passed away due to an ATV accident. I am learning how to adapt to not having my father. This influenced me to think no matter how hard things get, he is above watching me. It is also teaching me how to adapt without having my dad. The agent of socialization is family.
