Received my GED
Grandparent have a good work ethic
Both parents had degrees, so there was an
expectation on me to do so
I am a perfectionist
I am a procrastinator

Theoretical PerspectivesMaturational
Most of my family has been healthy for the
most part. However, high blood pressure and
mental illness has been a common trait.
There hasnt been any delays in motor
development within our family that I know of.

Theoretical PerspectivesInformation Processing

I grew up receiving support in school (504). I
tend to be a slow learner like my mom. My
sister and dad, however, can go in and take a
test without studying and ace it.

Theoretical Perspectives- Ecological

Grew up around the sports culture
Grew up in a conservative Christian home

Theoretical PerspectivesEnvironmental
Grew up in the Dallas area. This included a
hot/humid climate with unpredictable
weather.

Nature/Nurture, Conclusion
I have been shaped by my experiences that
have allowed me to grow as a person such as
school, social experiences, moving around a
lot, and by those who have loved me (nurture).
Physically I have been affected by hereditary
traits as well as external factors affect my
physiological traits (nature). I look forward to
the experiences that will continue to allow me
to grow as a person and to see how the things
learned in this class can help me distinguish
them.
