Trajectory

For as long as I can remember, I have always played as the left fielder in baseball. Playing this position was always easy for me. When I estimated the trajectory of a ball speeding through the air, I could always run to where I thought it would be and catch it. It was as if the outfield became my home, I was comfortable there. One day during practice, my coach told me to try and play as the first baseman. This position was so much more difficult than playing in the outfield. Switching to this…

My family of origin was comprised of my parents, myself, and my younger brother. David was born three years after me, and we filled the functional roles of “oldest child” and “youngest child” perfectly. As described by McGoldrick, Gerson, & Petry (2008), “oldest children are likely to be the over responsible and conscientious ones in the family” (p.126). I was always expected to perform academically and conduct myself with high moral standards. I did as was expected, and I do not remember…

Learning about the four levels of racism helped me look at things I interact, see and hear on a daily basis differently. As we have discussed in class, these levels of racism have impacted numerous Americans differently in society.

I watched the video titled “Teens Talk: A diploma supports her daughter.” In this video, you can see the teenager forming her identity where an “identity is a self-portrait composed of many pieces” (Santrock, 2015, p.372). She was very disinterested in high school and unlikely to graduate until having a child at seventeen gave her the motivation to complete high school, thus becoming the first in her family to graduate high school. Her situation honestly is very different from my own. I…

behavioral problems. Utilizing these two factors of SES together provide a more comprehensive explanation to the differences of cognitive ability among these groups. The evidence presented does not imply that a child’s SES will lead to an inflexible trajectory of cognitive development. Many other factors account for variance in brain development and still need to be examined further. School and home based interventions have shown improvements in cognitive abilities for children with various…

Consequently, certain events in this text also depict the result of a lack of external accountability on the trajectory of an individual’s morality as time passes. For example, even with Jaxon’s limited experience in Calgary, he has developed an aversion to the city because “people look at [him] weird” (page 1). The reader is also given information pertaining to…

When we first met Flamo he was filled with aggression. His brother had just been arrested, and his own mother thrown into handcuffs right in front of him. He was angry that someone had come for his family, and he was adamant they would not be getting away with it. Members of Cease Fire were concerned that Flamo’s retaliation would continue to cause more unnecessary violence in the community. By bringing him to a Cease Fire meeting, and speaking with him one on one several times, the idea of not…
