Personal Narrative: My First Plane Of Development

Improved Essays
I was born November 28th, 1999 at Boulder Community Hospital. Which starts my first plane of development. I started walking when I was 6 months. I would pull myself up on the couch and walk to my Great Grandmother (Granny). My mom stayed home, in Texas, my dad was in Colorado. We lived there so mom could take care of her dad who had brain cancer. Mom said she could always understand my babble (exp. Shupitup = Shut the door) but that I started saying word like “mom” and “dad” when I was 10 months. I started speaking sentences when I was 1 and a half years old. I was an exploratory child, I always was playing learning games. I started learning to read when I was 3 years old. I also started pre-k when I was 3, at Montessori Children 's House …show more content…
I would talk to my dad everyday and we would always talk about how we were still a family. I think that has really benefited me today. While we were in Texas I build a really good relationship with my Granny, which is something that not a lot of people get. I spent a lot of time with family all the time. But mostly with my Granny, we would do puzzles, word searches, read books together, and just hung out really. We moved back to Colorado when I was 5, I started public school and was there until I was in 2nd grade, When I started at Compass. Which brings me to my second plane of development. Not much happened until I got to Upper El. I remember really liking math and reading. I remember the first time someone told me I couldn 't do something, because she didn 't think I could. I was at the Library and I went into the “big kids books” I wanted to read a chapter book, I don’t remember what book. …show more content…
That was a crazy thing. I went into seventh grade with this red hair and trying make-up for the first time. 8th grade was just really a roller coaster, lots of getting in trouble. All my friend got in trouble for smoking on the farm and I learned to make my own judgements. 8th grade was completely different, all my friends had left. Jack went to Golden, Cadence went to Golden, Ella went to Wheat Ridge. It was an odd feeling, I had gotten rejected by my remaining friends and so I just did my own thing and focused on the MMUN trip. I was a delegate of France and my topic was The Right to Self Determination. I wrote paper after paper and edited so much. That was the year I started to think about leaving Compass. I wanted more then what the Farm School was giving me. That summer I went to my moms house and Baby sat my deaf cousin, so I learned some sign language. I hung out with my cousin Dustin a lot and my Aunt. I earned my own money to buy my own guitar. When I started my 9th grade year I was a lot done with the Farm School I just wanted something to do. I was put in the CCRC and that was not a good fit but I didn’t know of anywhere else to be, I just didn’t want to be there. On October 12th 2014 Dustin was killed in a hit and run. He had been walking home from the bar and a man (who I will leave unnamed) was speeding, drunk, with out his headlights on hit Dustin. He stopped and tried to make it so he was harder to identify.

    This was the year that allowed to discover that although I wanted to pull my hair out maybe a good 100 times, my class taught me that there is no better thing in life than making others happy and having the ability to surround yourself with those smiles. I realized that even by the smallest role, I can make a difference, and I knew that I wanted to do that for the rest of my life. This experience shaped out what I wanted out of life--…

So, when my father announced that we would be leaving the country to go to Scotland, the home of his and my ancestors, my world began to expand at a rapid pace. This trip could not have been timed more perfectly. The summer of 2007 marked the end of fourth grade, my first year at Saint Mary Academy Bay View.…

    Whenever I got a new pack of cards almost daily because my grandparents knew I loved them the first thing I would do was read the back of the cards. I soon was able to recall almost every player’s name, statistics, birthday, and hometown. My parents were amazed at the fact that I was able to recall all this information and actually know what it meant. Even at my early age my dad would come to me for advice to use on his fantasy teams. First grade is also the time I was introduced to the library.…

    Following the Krathwohl and Developmental Assessment (Griffin, 2014), I believe my current Zone of Proximal Development should be at the “Organizing” stage. At the start of the semester, I identified my ZDP the stage as “Responding”, as I was willing to passively receive information and attended all the learning environment, and while completing assessments following the formal requirements, I was not always engaged in discussion in the tutorials. Luckily, the natural of the very first assignment, the group constructed rubric, had greatly helped me to overcome the “participates in discussions” item of the “Responding” level. Throughout several active group discussions, we cooperatively finished the task, and I developed the confidence to participation…

I was born a very fat kid, weighing in at almost an obese weight. In the early years of my life, I was a baby that took long to learn how to do things such as talk and walk. At the age of three, I started saying my first words, and along with that, i stopped crawling and started to walk. When I was four years old, i started to go to school at EARJ, which i liked tremendously, because of all the friendly people that were my friends in school.…

    I still can recall my first day attending preschool. I got out of the car and clenched on to my mother’s hand tighter than I ever had before. When we got inside the building, the teachers were so jolly, assuring that I would love preschool and that the day would be a great day. Finally, I stopped wailing, let go of my mother’s hand and went to join the rest of the kids on the alphabet rug. I sat on the letter “A” because I remembered how my mom taught me that my name was Ashley and that it started with the letter “A”.…
