Daycare School, SCHOOL
I attended the Helena United Methodist Church daycare. This was the first time in my life when I was around other kids my age for a long period of time. It helped to form me now because I learned important basics like treating people with respect, and not whining. Also I learned how to make friends without the help of my parents just bringing other kids to our house. -
Meeting new kids at daycaer PEERS
According to my mom whenever she would pick me up from daycare I was always with the same three kids. However we can't remember who they were this shows how I had learned to make new friends, and that I was able to find people with the same intetrests as me. This could have made me who I am now because being with those other kids I learned how to be social and accepting towards others. -
Watching television MASS MEDIA
All through my earyl childhood I was often watching childrens shows. Some of these were Dora, Clifford, etc. Thses shows had morals in them that were ment to teach me lessons like not stealing, being nice to people, and knowing responsibility. -
moved from Montana to Iowa FAMILY
At this time my family was becoming closer with the exception of my Dad, and we moved from Montana to Iowa. At this point in my life I was still young and very dependent on my Mom and brothers. This taught me that it is important to have people in your life that are close to you and you can trust. -
Mom and Stepdad Married FAMILY
This was a very big day for my family and it definatley affected who I am today. The family was officially complete again and now I had more of a male role model in my life. Also this taught me that it's important to make commitments in your life, and it showed me that sticking with someone is important. -
I Continued to watch TV, MASS MEDIA
When I was in early elementry school shows that were oppular for kids were Spongebob, Dora the Explorer, and other animatedf shows. These shows taught me about humor, ansd how laughing is very fun, also Dora taught me a little bit about diversity in culture, and that people should be accepted no matter how they look. -
In Kindergarden SCHOOL
When I went to kndergarden I was now older and more mature than before when I was in Daycare in Montana. Now I had to make new friends after leaving Montana and my old friends behind. However I did make new friends, and I had a good time. This experence affected me because I had learned to make new friends, and eventually forget ones that you can't see anymore. -
Friends in kindergarden PEERS
At this point I was pretty far into kindergarden and I had established who I liked and who was starting to annoy me. Although I spent my days with many of the same kids that go to our school today, I still can't remeber who was in my class or who was my friends. I may have spent all day in school with these kids, I had no contact outside of school with any of them, because I was not in any sports. This taught me that you can have fun even when you are just with your family. -
Baseball Team PEERS
Over the summer between fourth and fifth grade I played baseball for Dennys Muffler Center, we were a good team and we got second in the rec leauge tournament, and I felt like a champion. This experence taught me that teamwork is needed to be sucsessful in almost anything you do. Also I made new friends on that team that lasted through fifth grade and into middle school. -
Fifth grade SCHOOL
This is the year I began fifth grade. For me this was a big deal, I remember that in elementry school I had always looked up to the fifth graders, they always seemed so old and cool. Now that I was a fifth grader it felt less glorious than I had imagined, and I didnt feel like I looked like the previous fifth graders had. However this taught me not to think too much of yourself because you're probably not as cool as you think, and thats a quality that drives potential friends away. -
No more visiting my dad FAMILY
At this point I no longer was forced to visit my Dad in Montana every other Christmas and Summer break. This was a very big deal in my life because it further distanced the relationship between me and my actual dad. This was probably for the better because I didn't know him very well and it was just weird when I saw him. This helped shape me into who I am today because I learned that it's important to let some things go when they are not working out, like seeing my dad anymore. -
Got a Wii MASS MEDIA
For Christmas in fifth grade I fnially got what had been on my wish list for a very long time, a Wii. This was a very big deal for me and with the Wii I got Call Of Duty, which is a war game. This was the first time I was allowed to get a war game and I was very excited. This affected me because for the first time I saw alot more violence and action than I had before. -
First day of middle school SCHOOL
The first day of middle school I remember was very intimidating for me. I ahd to learn newe lessons like responsibility, and learning how to manage time because for the first time in my life in school I had to get to classes no time and if I was late I had noone to blame but myself, I think that was good for me. -
PEERS I hang out with
At this point I had established the group of people that I usually hang out with at school. This taught me that it is important to have groups of friends that you can talk to and have a place with. Also It taught me that friends can last for a long time so you should choose wisely. -
My great grandma died FAMILY
My great grandma dying was the first and only death so far of people I know in my family. This event affected me a lot and it helped me to realize that I need to be more thankful that me and my family are all alive and well. This also helped me to mature because it taught me thatblife is short and I shouldn't waste it. -
I got a PS3 MASS MEDIA
When I first got my PS3 I was completely obsessed with it, all I thought about when I was at school was getting home so that I could play it. However over time I lost that initial craze for it, and looking back i'm glad that I did. This taught me that everything is better moderation, because too much of anything is usually bad for you.
