Lifeline Project Teacher Cadet

Birth - 5

Physical: When I was born I weighed 5lbs and 14oz, so I was a pretty small baby. I was actually 3 weeks premature. I began walking at 11 1/2 months. During my toddler years I mainly enjoyed playing with my dog Sasha and my brother Blake.

Social: At this stage in my life I loved to talk. I would always talk to my parents, brother, and even my pets.

Stop One

Moral: During this stage I started trying to impress my family, constantly showing them things I was excited about, always talking. I was friendly to everyone and a well-mannered child

Cognitive: By the time I was 10 months old I had already said my first word. From then on, my vocabulary sky-rocketed and I was able to tell my parents exactly what I wanted by a year old. Not only was I able to say what I wanted, but I was also the spokesperson for my brother. I was reading words at 16 months and full books at 3.

6-12

Physical: I was never a tall girl, I grew until I was 5'2. During this time I started playing softball which helped define my motor skills. Towards the end of this stage my body started changing drastically. Hormones started to go crazy.

Social: I always enjoyed the company of others, but at this point I only wanted to be around two or three friends. I began to show my shyness and my anxiety when encountering new people. Because of this, I never showed outstanding leadership skills. I realized at this age that I liked being in small groups.

Stop Two

Cognitive: My vocabulary continued to grow at a fast rate. I was a very curious child and asked questions about EVERYTHING. I absolutely loved to read and started reading novels at age 10.

Moral: During this age, I was entering the postconventional stage. I was still well mannered and pleasant, but I started discovering who I was, I was starting to discover my identity and forming individual thoughts and opinions.

Adolescence

Physical: Over the past few years I have remained 5'2 and developed a curvy figure.

Social: I am finishing up with stage 5 of Erikson's theory, which is one of the most important stages for success in life. I am determining who I am as a person and I am also figuring out what I want from life. During this stage I broke out of my shyness shell and I am more outgoing. I am freindly to everyone but I still keep a close group of 4-5 people.

Cognitive: I am a logical person, I think about my actions and how they will affect my future. I am a hypothetical reasoning person, I am always thinking about the "what-ifs," and many solutions to problems I am facing. Frequently I tend to "overthink."

Stop Three

Moral: I believe to be in the principled substage of the postconventional stage. I have strong beliefs that I do not let others opinion change. I stick by what I believe in and do not stray away from it. I make my own decisions and do not let others make them for me.
