If he doesn’t say it for a few days, we start…

Developmental Reflection Paper #1 – Early Years Before I spoke to others for this assignment, I was unsure how much new information I would gain about myself from my early years. My mom was very open about talking about her experiences and what my sister and I were like as infants. Also, I was very curious about babies because I babysat very frequently so I would ask her (even if I already heard the story before…). Thankfully, my mom remembered little details that I loved to listen to. I relied…

Thankfully, I found ways around the complications and had plenty of support from my friends, as well as family. Now I have reached a large milestone in my life, senior year. This year has gone pretty smoothly so far. I am thankful for my past for the simple reason that if it had not of been for all the obstacles, challenges, setbacks, and hard times I would not be in the same position I…

A baby’s first words usually appear around the age of 12 months, but there is a huge amount of pre-language development that needs to happen before then.

College is an important milestone in everyone’s life although it’s not for everybody. The reason why I originally decided to go to college was because my parents told me it was what I needed to do after graduating high school. But now I am in college because I don’t want to end up like my parents working a dead end job and living pay check to pay check. So I want to have an actual career and live a comfortable lifestyle.
