  • Year 1 My Life

    This was the year I was born. It was also the year I was adopted and moved to the United States. I don't really remember this point in my life, but I know it is a major part in my life. Unlike in Jonas's community, I was named after my grandma's best friend. In Jonas's community the newborn's names were determined by the nurturers not the family unit. A similarity that my timeline has with a kid in Jonas's community is that we both become a year older in December.

  • Year 2 My Life

    When I was two years old, my mom dressed me in a watermelon outfit. I instantly decided it was my favorite and refused to take it off. That's a similarity between my time line and a kid inIn Jonas's society. We both recieved baby clothes when we were two.

  • Year 3 My Life

    When I was three years old my family and went to visit Cedar Point, an amuesment park in Ohio. Years before my family had been, this was my first time. A kid in Jonas's community probably never went on vacation. They have never traveled outside of their society. In our society we travel to different places all the time.

  • Year 4 My Life

    At age four, i started wearing barrets.In Jonas's community at Age four you would get a jacket that buttons in the back to learn interdependence. I kind of learned interdependence because I could not put in the barret myself. I had to have my mom help me just like the children in Jonas's community had to ask others to button up their jacket.

  • Year 5 My Life

    When I was five i had my first birthday party at Chucky Cheese. I remember being so scared of the giant mouse. In Jonas's community the children didn't have birthday parties instead they toys. Our timelines are kind of similar, beacuse when a kid in Jonas's community recieved toys at age five I got my first polly pockets.

  • Year 6 My Life

    When I was six years old, my family and I went to Chicago for mine and my dad's birthday. While there, we went to the American Girl doll store and I bought my first American Girl doll.In Jonas's community a child at six would get a book. The two gifts are both for pleasure althogh I would mch rather prefer the American Girl doll.

  • Year 8 My Life

    At age eight I baked my first cake all by myself.Of course, the cake tasted awful. In Jonas's community at age eight you begin your voulunteering hours. You can volunteer where ever you want. I had originally not wanted to make my sister's birthday cake, thinking baking was boring. As I kept baking cakes I started to really like it. That's kind of like in Jonas's community. When you first volunteer you may not like it because it sounds boring, but once you do it you'll see that you really enjoy.

  • Year 7 My Life

    At age seven was when i recieved my first bike, but of course i couldn't ride it bwcause it was winter. In Jonas's community a child recieves a bike at age nine. For us now, age nine seems like a really old age to learn how to ride a bike.

  • Year 9 My Life

    Age nine was when I found out that the Tooth Fairy, the Easter Bunny, and Santa Claus weren't real. It was a very depressing day for me. While in Jonas's society, nine year olds recieved bikes. I am assuming they were very happy, enjoing their youth and not being sad that their favorite person(Santa Claus) isn't real.

  • Year 10 My Life

    This was one of my favorite birthdays. I recived a Nintendo DS for my birthday. A kid in Jonas's community recieved an adult hair cut. In Jonas's community they are stariting to be reconized more as adults then children while I'm still playing with video games no where near looking like an adult.

  • Year 11 My Life

    For my birthday I got clothes from all of my favorite stores. My present is somewhat similar to what a kid in Jonas's community would recieve when they are eleven. In Jonas's society the elevens recieve adult clothing. I also got clothes for my birthday.

  • Year 12 My Life

    So far this is my favorite year. My volleyball team won third in the nation at AAUs. I also won the All-American award. In Jonas's society year twelve was also a big point in their lives, they would find out their assignment. Comparing my time line to Jonas's they are both the same yet different. We both recieved tremendous awards, but I was ecstaiced while Jonas was kind of scared and didn't realy want his assingment.
