Reflection On Rhoden's Life

Superior Essays
From a physical standpoint, throughout Rhoden’s life, he has been involved in play sports, specifically baseball. Although he has not been the best player, he continued to play on the high school baseball team. He would also play basketball at home with friends or use it as a stress reliever. I think he will continue to be involved in sports since he has been for quite some time.
Rhoden has great cognitive skills. He receives A’s in most classes such as fine arts and B’s in English. He also engages in good conversations with friends as well as with me. Rhoden still likes designing and building on the computer as one of his pastimes. I’m sure that his skills will increase as he becomes an adult, but only because of his accomplishments, but also because he is aware of his

He’s fairly close to me when it comes to advising or anything really. Sometimes he is rebellious due to the separation of me and my husband. He is also very independent. He is able to face his emotions in a positive manner and this will benefit him for the future.
Rhoden’s view on moral development is that he believes punishment should be given to those who do wrong, especially when those actions have wronged others. One day he informed me that a group of students from school stole from a store and were caught. He agreed that they should be punished because they wronged their parents as well as their coach and teammates. This is good because Rhoden understands why punishments should be given in times like this.
Rhoden had always shown strengths in the things mentioned above. Social skills were probably his weakest, and I could be because of how much I clung to him as a parent. On the bright side, he did end up being very involved in the things he did. He was always very aware of what was going on in the house and how my husband and I communicated. I know it affected his attitude towards me at times and well as his school,

    While the amount of statistics is fairly slim, there is general consensus that most Americans cannot in most cases list all fifty states. We can go even further by assuming that the smaller the state or the less “relevant” it is in national affairs, the lesser the chances are that people will know it. Rhode Island is such a state. It is small geographically, unrepresentative of the national racial diversity we observe here in the United States, and has an economy which barely gives the state any political clout. Most importantly, Rhode Island fails to appear often in the media whether it be for good policies, or embarrassing scandals.…
