    Raised From Scratch is such a meaningful book because the testimony of Thompson’s experiences offers two perspectives of hopelessness and hope in one. Yes, having been raised by his uncle and not his biological parents shaped him into the man he is today, but it did not make his transition as a foster youth any easier. Even though his invisible parents neglected him by prioritizing substances over providing Thompson with family and love, his uncle and mentors were able to provide him with a new understanding of those concepts. At the beginning of the book the author is pessimistic because of his foster youth identity, towards the end of his book the messages are uplifting and can help foster youth understand that it takes time and growth to…

    Though this quarter’s Legacy Project, not only have I unveiled the tortured past of a beloved relative, but I also was able to take what I have learned and put it into a media where her story – her voice – can be heard. I am now here before you to stress a topic that I find crucial in the path to adulthood: role models. Parents, teachers, celebrities, other close relatives; whomever they may be, everyone has a person who they look up to and/or shape themselves after. I am not simply implying that a mentor will help you maneuver through the dense maze of life; I am implying that they will pave the way for you, setting down the foundation where you can continue to build upon as you grow. They play a bigger factor in our lives than most people realize and the interview I conducted with my aunty helped me to be able to see their significance.…

    The development of the brain is critical during adolescence. “The emotional well-being is directly tied to the dynamic of family. When these relationships are abusive, threatening, chronically neglectful, or otherwise psychologically harmful, they are a potent risk factor for the development of early mental health problems” (Developing Child). John Fowles, the author of The Collector, introduces a character who recalled traumatic experiences in his childhood and over analyzed his future and past actions that formulated into quilt. It is evident that Fowles relies on these events such as the death and absence of a parental guide as well as the dramatic lack of social interaction to convey his social dilemmas and unhealthy way of thinking that…

They have located regions within the amygdala and cortex that facilitate in social recognition and impede stress responses.
