Interview: Attached to Essay 10 Events: 1. When I was 10 months old I moved from Arizona to New York. I do not remember much of the move other than the fact that I lived with my grandparents, on my dad’s side of the family, for a little while until my parents could find the right house. I now have a closer bond with my grandma due to the fact that I lived with her and that she took my family and me in when my parent were trying to find a place to live that was close to family. We did not have any family that lived in Arizona so my parents felt lonely at times. 2. When I was a baby I used to cry, a lot. I had colics until I was about 8 months old. I think this could be why I am a more sensitive person compared to the average male teenager. 3. I started walking on my first birthday. I vaguely remember my parents clapping and hugging me. I think this might be why I strive for being the best I can be, and just making my parents proud. I long to see my parents proud of me just like they were on my first birthday. 4. When I was 3-5 years old I would always put my toys away when it was time to clean up. I have always been a neat person and I think that trait comes from my mother. My mother is a very tidy person and wants everything in order so I always tried to stay out of trouble by keeping my things together. I cringe whenever I see somebody’s house is messy and I try to keep my room spotless. 5. When I was 4 years old my grandpa, on my dad’s side of the family, passed away. He had colon cancer which had spread to his liver. At the time I did not understand what had happened, but as I grew older I started to understand that life is temporary and should be treasured by everyone. I still miss my grandpa and would give any... ... middle of paper ... ...Before I die, I want to see all of my friends have successful lives. I believe that all of my friends have the ability to live their lives to the fullest; they just need to keep going and never give up. I hope to maintain contact with my best friends. They all deserve the best. Epitaph: “I’ll take my paradise on Earth.” That is the quote that I will have on my epitaph. This is a quote from the song Paradise (On Earth) by Cris Cab. Life is something that we will only get to experience once until we enter the unknown. We have been given the privilege to be living in a beautiful world that many have not had the opportunity to. I appreciate every moment like it is my last, and I just love living in this beautiful world. I am extremely lucky to be living in such a wonderful country. I love the world I live in, and I wouldn’t want to have lived anywhere else.

    You have to live before you die, living meaning enjoying life no matter what gets in the way and making the best of both worlds. We all have lives, we need to live for ourselves and not to live them through pity and complaining all of the time. Living without the feeling of, “Oh my gosh, I wish this person would hurry up” or” I just got off of work and there is this lady in front of the gas pump on the phone, not pumping gas!” should be a moment to relax and think of what you are having for dinner

  • What´s Psychology?

    1373 Words  | 3 Pages

    My choice of research was in the play behaviors of children as well as aggression. Breaking the topic down more, behavior relates to the psychology and the psyche of each individual. The definition of psychology is “science of mind and behavior” (Clavijo, 2013). After reading the article by Clavijo, I have realized that psychology can be defined in three ways such as the study of the mind, the study of behavior, and the study of the mind and behavior. In the text “The Developing Person” by Berger, behavior is learned through social learning. Children learn different behaviors through the observation of others, others being children and adults. Different people have affects on a child’s life that can affect their behavior. A child’s behavior is heavily influenced by their parents. A son may speak aggressively and without respect towards his mother because this is the way that his father speaks to her therefore he feels that is how to communicate with his mother (Berger, 200, 2012). Moving into play behaviors, children learn from other children in how to play. Most believe cognitive growth relies on child’s play time. Vygotsky and Piaget both believe that when children play it is beneficial, but according to Vygotsky, playing enables a child to think outside the box and create their own meaning from objects, using their imagination. Piaget believes that child benefit from playing together because children and sharing their knowledge and making it more concrete ideas and thoughts. There are four stages of plays, with the fourth stage being the highest most complicated play which consists of rules and guidelines for the game. The lowest level or play would be functional play being infants shaking rattles, clapping their hands, or blow...

  • Social Psychology

    The principles and theories of Social Psychology are important and useful in assessing behaviors in situations. These social psychological principles and their applications can be seen in fictional films which can also be attributed to everyday life. One such film that holds certain social psychological perspectives is Will Gluck’s 2010 production of Easy A. A film about high school student Olive Penderghast and how a sudden change in popularity and financial status, after an unintentional rumor about how she supposedly lost her virginity to a college guy spread through the entire her school. The film draws on the behavioral connections of pronounced hussy Olive Penderghast and her English class’s assigned reading of The Scarlet Letter. Easy A depicts how Olive’s choice to handle the rumor by modeling the harlot in her reading and embroidering an A on her wardrobe lead her to be preserved as one. The reactions of townspeople in the Scarlet Letter are similar to those of her high school class mates. Through such actions, reactions, and behaviors of the film is able to addresses numerous social psychological perspectives. Some of these social perspectives include the Actor-Observer Difference in Casual Attribution, Self-fulfilling prophecy and Operant Conditioning.

    Turning a complex source of information presented from specialists in a specific field into a news or media article that is understandable and interesting for a general audience can be disastrous if the new article expands the truth or twists the findings from the original complex source. In the case of psychology, news articles published on the internet or in the newspapers can take the complex source of information from an academic article, such as a peer-reviewed journal, and reflect the findings from the academic journal accurately, somewhat skewed or completely inaccurate. These articles about psychology that tailor more to gaining the interest from readers who may not specialize in the topic being discussed are called pop-psychology

  • On the Death of My Mother

    1012 Words  | 3 Pages

    It was June 6, 2011. I remember taking my mother to the County Hospital’s emergency room. She seemed extremely exhausted; her eyes were half-closed and yellow, and she placed her elbow on the armchair, resting her head on her palm. I remember it was crowded and the wait was long, so she wanted to leave. I was the only one there with her, but I did not allow her to convince me to take her home. I told her in Spanish, “Mom, let’s wait so that we can get this over with and know what’s going on with you. You’ll see everything is okay, and we’ll go home later on.” I wish then and now that would have been the case. Unfortunately, she was diagnosed with colon cancer that had spread to many parts of her body including her lungs and kidneys. The doctor said to me not considering that I was a minor and my mother’s daughter, “Her disease is very advanced and we don’t think she will live longer than a year.” With this devastating news, I did not know what to do. I thought to myself that perhaps I should cry, or try to forget and take care of her as best I could and make her laugh to ease her pain.
