About Me

My photo
Hey everbody.. My name is Katie, i'm a senior at Edgar High and i am 17 yrs old. I only have one brother, and i can't even consider him a brother. I don't have any pets, but i do have the neighbors dog! I believe that the fact that i am adopted has shaped my life. If i wasn't adopted by my parents, i wouldn't be who i am today. I thank my parents for that. My mom is always there for me when i need her, sure she can be a mom, but she is always there as a friend too. Me and my parents are very close, and i think that is the way it will always stay. To me psycology is important because it is all over the place! It is one of those things that you will never be able to run away from. So everybody just has to lean back and accept it. The definition of psycology to me would have to be... The reasons why things happen and how they happen. The reasons we make the choices we do, why people are depressed, why some people are hyper, and why we act the way we act on a daily basis.

~Chapter.13.Blogging.Personality~

I think there is many things that can make or break a person. So therefor i think that alot of different things can impact us and make us who we are. Different things in our lives, our enviornment, and the way we are raised can turn us into who we end up being.
  • One thing that i think has impacted my personality was how i was raised. Because i had parents that cared alot about my future and want me to be the best i am, that made me try to achive what they saw in me.
  • Also i think that because my parents and family always pushed that i am who i am and that i can do whatever i want in life, that makes me think that i can achive so much and be a great person.
  • One other thing is how my brother was when i was younger. He was always being negitive and still is. His outlook on life is really bad, and that normally i think would rub off on me and make me think that i should have a bad outlook on life, but because of the train of thinking that the people that care about me have me in, i tune out his outlook and concentrate on my own.

I think there are many defence mechanisms that i employ. When you are in certian situations, there are different mechanisms that you give off. Like:

- I use projection when i think about how i would make a mistake and i would want people to learn from what i did and not do the same thing.

- Another would be how i use regression, i use this when i am trying to convert my actions so they are appropriate around my neice.

- There are other mechanisms that i use as well, but i was just naming a few.

The different theories that are named in the book i also have in my life, i don't know of one theory that impacts me, but all of them make sense to me. Everybody relates to these famous theories in some way or another.

I didn't really learn much from the videos, i learn more when i read the book and other articles. I am more of an information type of person. I have to read it to belive it. I like the facts and not movies and tv shows. The facts is what i like.
