    I struggled my school years learning the same thing over and over again, but it all changed in 7th grade I had a teacher named Ms. Hong who was strict and wanted her students to move to a higher level of English. She taught me compound-complex sentence, independent and dependent. I learned the proper way to use conjugations, transition and spelling.

    As you review your portfolio, identify some of the most impactful learning experiences you have had as a student. Explain how the data reflects the impact of these experiences (in your class grade, for example). I used to prove my language and study to get a good job, until something happened last semester first, I did not speak with the teachers and foreign students who speak another language, I need translator most of the time, and I did not did all of the homework because I did not know how I did it. Then, I began to work hard and study more, speak with my friends English. Day by day my language get better.…

    Ever wonder why humans are the way they are? Why they react to certain situations differently than those around them or perhaps why a large group of people who seem completely different react the same way to a particular event? The amazing thing about humans is that why they behave a particular way or why they say and do certain things is open to interpretation by six different psychological perspectives that are continually studied and developed by lifespan developmentalists. Lifespan developmentalists are able to place people and their actions in each of these perspectives such as the humanistic perspective, which believes people are in control of themselves and in turn tie the same person to the psychodynamic perspective, which states that…

    Question 1 It is important that everyone go through the Erikson’s eight stages of life. The reason being is that two forces will push a person from stage to stage which are known as biological maturation and social expectations (Crain, 2011). The person will move from one stage to the next as a result of these forces whether they have mastered the previous stage or not. A prime example is a girl experiencing difficulty at the industry stage because she is not prepared for the identity crisis (Crain, 2011).…

Throughout life, the choices that are made and the problems faced will determine what the future will be. Many personality theorists have different beliefs of how they think we change and grow throughout life.…

    1.1 Describe stages of development from conception to birth. When an egg is fertilised it is a single cell called a Zygote, in the next 24-36 hours the single cell will divide into two cells, 12 hours after it will divide into four cells, and will carry on dividing which forms a cluster of cells which are called a monula. Three – four days after it has been fertilised the monula will move from the fallopian tube and will enter the uterus. At about six days the monula will form a hollow cavity which is known as a blastocyst. The blastocyst will burrow itself into the uterus lining this is called implantation.…

    Anyone who has gone through adolescence with their own children understands that this is, indeed, a unique period of developmental growth. This period of time is characterized by vast developmental changes where there is no time of faster growth, except for birth to 3 years. Physical changes are more dramatic, cognitive changes create vast leaps in thinking ability, social and emotional changes result in a move from dependence to independence, and during this period the prefrontal cortex that controls abstract and moral reasoning develops. With all of this going on in their lives, it is vital that these students have teachers trained to understand and teach to their ever-changing developmental needs.…

    In this paper I will provide an analysis of a developmental interview, I performed on April 10, 2016, for about 20 minutes. My interviewee, Joan Murray agreed to sit down with me in conversation and answer a few questions about her life. This opportunity gave me the chance to explore developmental themes and think about how to apply developmental theory in live situations. I will demonstrate my ability to integrate principles I have learned over the past 12 weeks and put them into practice. I will articulate the stages of human development of my interviewee from the lens of Carol Rogers’ person-centered therapy approach, and the faith development of my interviewee from the lens of James Fowlers’ faith development stages, thereby describing…

    Being born in Europe and moving to the United States has influence both positively and negatively. The biggest negative is hating reading and writing in English and also the English language as a whole.

    Introduction The critical reflection mainly focuses on one of my personal learning experiences which remain immemorial in my life. Majority of students in my country start learning English language from a very early age that is from grade three. Though schools try to provide best education facilities to their students, it’s not possible for every student to gain the exact knowledge, as sometimes teachers teach too fast, sometimes the topics are not very interesting and mainly for these reasons students are not capable of improving their learning skills and competencies related to English language. The same happened with me, although I seemed to achieve an average score in English language, it did not help me to improve my English speaking skills…
