My best childhood memory is going to Six Flags. Me, Tommy, Anthony, and Connor are going to Six Flags. Their mom is taking us. I was very excited to go to Six Flags because it would be my first time going. When we finally got there. We parked the car and walked to the gates. When we got into the park. Connor wanted to ride the cyclone. Tommy and Anthony asked if I wanted to ride it. I said, “No.” but they pulled me into doing it. So, we waited in line. When we got to the front of the line. We got on the roller coaster and the ride started. When we started to go up I was nervous. When we got to the top, and as we were going down I couldn’t even hear myself scream. After the ride we rode rides around the park. Then, we went to the water park…
There are many influences that have made me into who I am today. To begin with, I am a Hispanic teen that is 15 years old. I was born in Las Vegas, Nevada. My parents are Mexican. Today, I have a culture that I have picked up throughout my life. I have followed the traditions that my family follows. We also celebrate holidays and special occasions in a Hispanic manner.…
Growing up as a child was very met morale and a sometimes fun other times not experience. Many memories are developed during your childhood but many memories are forgotten. Memories that are remembered are apart of who we are today an what makes us how we are. These memories and experiences tech us life lessons that we use without knowing it everyday. A memorable day for me was in a lacrosse game in the 2012-13 lacrosse season.…
I don’t remember much of my childhood. It’s been said that when you experience trauma, your brain has a defense mechanism to help you forget it ever happened. This is both helpful and hurtful in terms of carrying on. I don’t remember much of my mother before her alcoholism began to control her. I wish I could remember what she was like; I’ve been told she was a wonderful mother, though it’s very hard for me to believe that now.…
Each person has thousands of memories and in certain moments we recall certain memories that could either help or not. My childhood was filled with learning years where I grew and became a more aware and better person.…
I can share the memories of the time I found out my parents were getting divorced. I can still remember going to a counselor to try to get over the divorce. Those memories are hurtful and sad, but like Eva, there are more things about that memory that keeps me attached. It feels like our memories are attached on one side of a thread and we are on the other side. There will always affect me.…
People are always searching to find something that makes them happy good experiences in the past leads to a better person in the future. ”Growth memories related to maturity and well-being in ways that reflected their roots in a eudaimonic approach to the good life”(Bauer). Good memories that people grow up with lead to a…
Many people and experiences have shaped the person that I am today. Everyone that I meet thinks that I am quiet, but once they get to know me, they see how funny and crazy I am. I am generally a positive person to be around as I try to have fun and make my friends and family laugh. Everyone I have met has taught me something, whether I hated it or loved it. My grandma taught me how to bake chocolate chip muffins and my friends have taught me how to come out of my shell and talk with more people.…
As I grew up my father was gone about six months out of the year, serving as a sailor in the United States Navy. Growing up all I wanted was to be more and more like my father. He would to tell me stories about some of the training missions that he went on, about how he and his unit would play war games with the Navy seals. He would tell me stories about some of the actual missions he was on, some of the places he had been, and some of the things that he had seen. The one thing that he never told me was how the military changed his life. Little did I know that beginning on September 16, 2002 my life would begin to change forever.…
For twenty years I have been gathering memories of my father and while some are bad, ninety nine percent of them are great ones. The one funny thing about memories is that you never realize they are going to be memories until long after the occurrence takes place. For instance when I was very young, if I were to misbehave in public my father would take me on what we now call "spankin' walks" where I would be lead out the door by…
It was a Tuesday afternoon and I was just getting to my psychology class and as usual I was chit chatting with my neighbors in class, Cpl Christie and Fausnight about the things that each of us did this weekend. Just when I had finished talking to Kara (Fausnight) about her weekend our psychology teacher Dr. Douglas walks in. As she is walking in I in my peppy self- personality ask how her weekend went. Dr. Douglas then proceeded to tell me that it was "none of my business" .maybe she was having a bad day or was really stressed out or maybe in fact it was "none of my business". She also told me that there was a certain thing called boundaries and that I needed to find out what that was. I felt dumbfounded to say the least. I've always been a real social person. Pretty much striking a conversation with anyone. So I was brain storming the other day and I was wondering about what to write my paper about. Just then the previous scenario came to mind and I figured I could intertwine me and how the influences that I've had throughout my life have influenced me and made me the outgoing, friendly, social person that I am. I'll attempt to do this by using Erickson's stages of development (Myers, 2005). O.k. we will start by looking at the infancy stage. Where an infant learns either to Trust or Mistrust people. I don't know how much is true but in talking to my parents they told me that ever since the day I was born I was such a crybaby. They also told me that I never wanted to be alone or have anyone even go as much as 5 feet from me because I would start crying and throwing a fit. The thing though is that most infants develop a sense of "stranger anxiety", which is the fear of strangers (myers, 2005). Me on the other hand, I would only cry when I was left alone, I was never really too afraid of strangers. One reason could be that ever since I was born I came into an environment rich with people. My dad was an associate…

Throughout my life I have had many experiences that have helped and propelled me to become the person I am today. In life I have gone through many life changing events that have all had an impact on who I am. Not all of my experiences were pleasant, but I am glad to have lived through what I did because they have helped me become a responsible, brave, humble young adult.…
As an adult me and everyone else remembers their childhood this is part of life that cannot be avoided. Later in life when we become parents we might or might not incorporate how we were treated and acted as children into our parenting skills. Often we will use our past experiences to set example to our child why they should or should not do something. This is so that we can teach them the right thing to do in certain situations. As we live our daily lives one day at a time, we tent to piece together our memories of events in our past and develop thoughts of what is soon to come in our future.…
My Grandmother has been gone for about seven years now and I miss her with every fiber of my being. However, to this day I carry with me, in my heart and soul, all of the fond memories we shared together. Although at times she seemed strict and rigid she was also a loving and compassionate person that would do anything for her family. She was the one person who never failed to make me feel safe and sound. To me her arms were a refuge that could wash away all my fears and make me feel as though anything were possible. Like any human being my Grandmother was not perfect, but in my eyes she was everything, I loved her very much and the day I lost her my heart burst.…
