Family: Birth-Toddler
When I was a just a wee toddler my family or mostly mom and dad taught me how to walk and talk. These basic skills are taken for granted but could you imagine a world where you could not communicate verbally with anybody. In that same world you also could not function your legs so moving would be impossible. You couldn’t go to the bathroom you would have to just sit there. Basic skills like walking and talking are underrated. That’s why I am thankful that my family taught me how to. -
Peer: Birth-Toddler
I didn’t really have any peers that I actually saw on a regualr basis at this time in my life. The only peers I kind of had were my babysitters kids that I already mentioned in my preschool experience. These kids taught me how to have a sense of adventure because we used to explore his pretty big backyard. Being a little kid that was pretty scary for me considering I was only three at the most. We used to try and do things we saw in movies or try and imitate the people we saw. Even though I -
Schools: Birth- Toddler
As an infant I didn’t have a school of sorts for my school I chose the shows that I remember watching when I was just about 3. I especially remember the show Rugrats. It was on nickelodeon and I don’t think it is aired anymore, but back then it was my favorite thing. Watching Tommy and all his pals like Chucky explore the backyard and other foreign places. The most memorable thing about the show was that whenever their parents locked them in the playpen they would act like they were going to sta -
Mass Media: Birth- Toddler
As an infant on TV I watched shows like The Rugrats, Dora The Explorer and Bob The Buidler. In my opinion of viewing these shows as a teenager they try way too hard to keep kids away from violence and try too hard to teach friendship, leadership and cooperation. They just need to put some cartoon characters upon on the screen and come up with completely bogus script and they will still grab the attention of little viewers. In my opinion these shows are trying to sculpt the next generation way, w -
Peer: Toddler-School Age
Peers in preschool and kindergarten taught more great examples of friendship. In preschool that was first experience with other kids my age so friendship was inevitable among us. During that time I met my first ever friends like my babysitter’s kids Adam and Noah. Noah and Adam were my babysitter amys kids. I was with them for about 2 years of my life and they had a huge impact on my life. We would explore the backyard and watch movies little did I know that I would these skills all througho -
Family: Toddler-School Age
Family: Toddler-School Age From when I was a toddler to when I started kindergarten my mind was like a sponge. During that time my mom taught me friendship she told me that people with a lot of friends usually do pretty good in life. I was ok at making friends but when I got a cooler friend than the last I stopped hanging out with the old friend. This taught me a great life lesson if you don’t have to cut off a relationship with a friend try not to. I have done that before since then -
Schools: Toddler- School Age
In Pre-School something that I really remember well is that we used to finger paint all of the time. I remember one story that my mom has told me a countless number of times. She told me that one time she showed up to pick me up and I was completely covered in green paint. She chewed out the teacher for not paying enough attention to her kids for at least 15 minutes so much to the point where I was able to paint my entire body green. This doesn’t seem like a useful passage at all right well -
Mass Media: Toddler- School Age
When I was just a small child I don’t really remember much from the media at all. Though possibly the biggest mass media event of all time was happening at this time. 9/11 the bombing of the world trade center’s or Twin Towers was bombed by two jumbo jet planes one plane bombed the pentagon and the other intended for the white house was driven into the ground in Pennsylvania. I obviously didn’t know what happened but if I would’ve been older at this time I can only imagine the fear the entire th -
Schools: Elementary School
Elementary school is where you learn all the basic things like reading, writing, addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Even though basic skills these are keys to unlock doors to greater opportunities in life. In a functioning everyday job you would usually use all these skills in a regular day. For a lot of better jobs like an engineer you would use math more than most things. So all these skills are direly important. -
Family: Elementary School
In elementary school my family taught me a good lesson for getting pre-paired for school because before that I just had my mom wake me up and pick my clothes. But when fifth grade hit my mom made me do this on my own witch taught me to be a more responsible person. Responsibility is a valuable asset that can be used until the day I die. -
Peer: Elementary School
In elementary school you really don’t care what people think of you. Which is why I think my peers taught me independence because you were pretty much on your own if you didn’t have friends in your classes. With independence comes more skills like doing homework on my own and learning how to comprehend problems on my own. It doesn’t seem like it but independence is something that I definitely believe is taught in elementary school. -
Mass Media: Elementary School
In fifth grade the mass media really spoke to me with the Cedar Rapids flood of 08. I remember it was the first week of summer school and on Thursday or Friday we were sent straight home. I was left wondering why we were home so early and when I got home my mom and sister informed of the flooding of downtown of Cedar Rapids and Iowa City and many other towns. I remember the news on the first night all of the stories and pictures. I even recall my mom my sister and me watching and when they went -
Family: Middle School
As a teenager family seems like one of those things that everybody expects you to care about a whole lot, but for me I don’t really feel like all my family is that important to me. That’s why my family taught me that family is important when my grandma died. It happened last year in march she had been in the hospital for a while already and when she died I didn’t really now what to think. I just assumed that my family members would be there always but when she died it made me think seriously abo -
Schools: Middle School
I’ve been taught a vast array of things since I took the leap from elementary to middle school. I started German this year so I’ve been learning that and physics in science this year has been something I needed to learn. In sixth grade we kind of started learning about the Holocaust and in English every year we learned about writing essays. I think that the most valuable skill I have learned since middle school is probably communicating with my peers without being nervous and being able to c -
Mass Media: Middle School
In my four years as a middle school student the mass media has an impact on my life the entire time. From shows to news, national disasters, dictator’s, movies anything like that has been brandished into my mind forever. I think that TV shows have the biggest impact on me out of these mass media factors. A couple TV shows that really get to me or my favorites are Family Guy, How I Met Your Mother, MANswers and other shows like these not only strike me as funny. Family Guy especially is a bold sh -
Peer: Middle School
Middle school is when you really get self-consciousness about what your peers and friends think of you. Peers can get pretty harsh and mean in middle school but that teaches another good social skill you should always treat your peers the way you want to be treated. In some cases this doesn’t work but if you consistently hang out with people that make fun of you even though you treat them great. Then you should try and make some new friends because people like that are purpouesly mean. “Treat ot
