BEHAVIOR EXPLANATION # 1 1. Behavior Observation/Description (5 pts) On August 16, 2014, my three best friends: Annel, her boyfriend Kevin, and Jada called me around noon to let me know that they will swing by my house to kidnap me to go to Santa Monica Beach.

This is the first sign of my worry for Annel because she is clumsy and would easily get lost, not to mention she is diabetic and can faint in this heat. I tried to have fun with all of them but also tried to keep an eye on her at the same time. Her phone and Jada’s were dead at the time so she wanted to use mine to take pictures.

I should have remained calm and approached the situation professionally. Meanwhile, as they catch up to me, I apologize to them and asked to resume with the mission of finding the bike shop. They told me they understood the reason for my madness because I was worried so they put that past them. After the talked, we all moved on and had fun for the whole duration of the day as we’re biking at the
