My Micro/Mesosystems

Mia Gonzalez

Family

My family was extremely dysfunctional growing up, my parents would constantly be arguing which made me hate conflict now as an adult. They were always supportive of me but my dad never did make it to any of my school performances which now makes it extremely hard to place my trust in people. I am an extremely anxious person which probably has something to do with my dysfunctional family.

School and Childcare

Microsystem

In elementary school I was enrolled in the after school program which I absolutely loved because I made a ton of friends and they taught us sign language. For elementary and middle school I was apart of the Santa Ana School Distract but come highschool I was apart of the Tustin Unified School Distract. This change truly affected me because the teaching styles in both districts were extremely different. In Santa Ana it felt as though the teachers cared more about their students because I felt this way my grades declined when entering Highschool. This change made me appreciate the manner in which some teachers treat their chidlren.

I was always the quiet kid in elementary school so making friends was difficult for me. However, in middle school and highschool teachers began seating me with the "loud" kids hoping I would quiet them down. Instead the "loud" kids brought me out of my shell and made me their friend because of this I would like to think I am more social then before. In highschool one of my friend groups began drinking and partying which I did not find an interest in. My other friend group would go out to lunch and grab coffee to read books and I quickly fell in love with those activties. One of my favorite hobbies today is going to a bookstore and finding a new book to read.

Community

My community was everchanging because I moved a lot as a child but my communities up to the age of 12 were never really diverse, they mainly consisted of Latin Americans. I always grew up in a low income community so there were not many activities to do. We would typically go to the park or play in our backyard which is why I appreciate nature so much today. Due to the fact that as a child I never really tried new things, whenever my friends want to try new activities I get anxious.

Media

I never really had social media until middle school and to this day social media is the main form of communication that I have with my middle school friends because we are all pretty scattered around California. Social media allows me to still feel part of their lives because I can see their life updates on most platforms.

Media and Family

Sometimes my family and I watch movies together which allows us to bond. Through us bonding, I have realized how significant family is in someones life. Now, through some years of mending some family issues, I value family.

Mesosystem

Peers and Family

My parents have met all of my friends which allows my parents to have more confidence in me because they have seen the type of people I hang out with. Having my parents know all my friends affects my socialization because they intstill more trust in me allowing me to have more independence.

Community and School

Mesosystem

Once I was attending highschool, I experienced more than I had my entire childhood growing up and that was because of the new community we were in. The new community was safe which is why my parents would let me go out more frequently and stay out later. I remember going out at ten pm for some In and Out with friends and those being my favorite memories. This event influenced my socialization because it made me appreciate living in a safe environment and it is something I want my children to have in the future.

Peers and School

Most of my friends throughout my life i have made and met at school. My peers made school bearable, having friends in classes made me look forward to going to certain classes and having that positive look at school made me actually like going to school. To this day I actually enjoy going to school and I value the concept of it.

Family and School

As a little kid my mom would go to all events involving my school; open house, teacher parent conferences, and recitals. Having her involved with all of these events made me realize that I wanted to always make her proud. I never wanted her to be disappointed with me or my schoolwork which is why I decided to go to college because she believes I could succeed in any career choice I make.
