Big Brothers Big Sisters is important to me because of its positive psychological impacts for each individual. I personally agree that Big Brothers Big Sisters will positively impact each individual involved in the program psychologically. Through the research, I learn that BBBS stresses the importance of human behavior, learning, perception, and emotion for each individual. This pertains to my Psychology 100 class in so many ways because I am able to better understand the concepts behind the psychological impacts that BBBS has to offer. As a former mentor of the program, I can say that BBBS impacts an individual’s life immensely. I agree with Sheryl’s saying that “the program develops a positive relationship with the Bigs, Littles, and supervisor” (S. …show more content…

The human behavioral impact that BBBS gives to each individual is incredible! I am surprised that just being a mentor could give a child higher aspirations for educational success and promote good human behavior. I think that its educational, social and emotional impacts are so beneficial to every individual, including the community. In addition, I wholeheartedly agree with the surveys taken on BBBS for its motivation. The motivation that the program creates for all members are so impactful. It creates such motivation for every individual in which members look forward to attending the program. Not only does the motivation keeps members from attending but I feel that it impacts them in a remarkable way. This is because the program motivates every individual in the long run; in which it motivates one to be successful in the future. I have such a better understanding of motivation and how motivation is important for the learning process. That is because taking the psychology class has given me a different view of motivation; in which I am able to see that being motivated will help one to continue on and not give up. In addition, the

Also, as seniors we have two seventh grade kids that we mentor. I do this because I remember how hard it was being a seventh grader and not really knowing much about high school. Once a week we sit down and talk with the children. I always love the stories they have to tell and I truly feel blessed when I can help with anything they are struggling with. Whether that be something in school or something at home, it is so fulfilling talking with them. This activity has taught me what it means to give back to a school and to these kids who need my help. I love service and I spend a lot of time trying to help others with problems. Sources of strength has let me do just that. I have learned what it means to be a leader. This is a large responsibility I do not take lightly. I know the actions I do will have an effect on others, so I try to make sure those effects are positive at all

    Sibling relationships has been an intriguing topic in developmental psychology for a long period of time. One of the interesting psychological phenomenon in this area of psychology is the environmental and genetic influences on sibling growth. These influences could be positive, such as the influence of success in their career; but some could be negative, such as the facilitation of alcohol use. In this comparative review essay, I will examine the similarities and differences between the popular press article Two Siblings, One Spotlight (Webber, 2011) and the peer-reviewed primary research article Genetic and Environmental Influences on Academic Achievement Trajectories During Adolescence (Johnson, McGue, & Iacono, 2014) that both address the

For my last PBL, my students created businesses; they did not just create any business, though. They were encouraged to look at what their local community lacked and to see if they could find a way to fill that need. One group created a business called “Chill City.” The group had some students go to daycare after school, and they believed that they could create a daycare that can do more.

    I think having places like this that are geared towards children who come from low-income and academically at risk schools is going to be very beneficial to their futures. They also provide an 8,000 dollar scholarship to be used towards college. This is a great idea. If we would fund programs like this in Portland, we would teach children of any income and academics that everything is possible and here is the help to achieve it. I think bias like this could affect us reaching out to the K-12 community. As we all know, children tend to tease other children, making them feel bad about them selves. As Isler mentioned, people are going to put you down, but you need to pick yourself back up and continue on, this should also be taught in the after school enrichment groups and even in classrooms in general. I think that by reaching out to the K-12 community, we could encourage and boost the confidence of kids who might need it. By instilling the fact that these children can do anything they set their mind to, we are setting these children up for success, just like Jedidah
