Week 2: My Life Story

 Hello all! But when was I first able to say "hello"?

A 17-Year Preamble

My story starts on September 21, 2005, when I was born in San Antonio, hence my middle name "Antonio". My first steps were relatively late; however, 14 months is not too late of an age to begin tottering about my home in San Antonio. 

My first words were "Mama" despite the constant efforts of my dad. 

（。＾▽＾）However, the most used word in my limited vocabulary was "SUV" after becoming so attached to my parent's car.

I don't really recall the start of my puberty, but I do remember growing slightly taller each year in middle school: from being 5'6" to the tree I am today standing at 6'1". 〜(￣▽￣〜)

What's to come?

My high school graduation would be held in May 2024, roughly 15 months away as of today. Hopefully, I will get accepted into either UT or Rice to study medicine, pursuing this 4-year degree in Pre-Med to hopefully get into medical school! 

Since I currently plan on getting an MD, I will be in school for another 8 years after high school ends, not even including the residency after these years of learning. That means 2024+4+4+however many years of residency my specialty requires. (。_。)

Hopefully, this career in medicine will last until I'm between the ages of 65-70, from the years 2070 to 2075. 

After I retire, I might help schools as a tutor, write a book, or even get back into playing video games, rekindling old hobbies. 

To put an end to this saga, I think I'll live until I'm 80, dying in 2085, but I'd be more than happy to be proven wrong if I exceed this number. (x_x)

Take care,
Jason 3U

    Wow, you seemed to have your life planned out! I find it quite funny how your favorite word was SUV as a baby.

Week 6: Social Psych...it's real life

 Hello all and an early Merry Christmas as well! One thing I can stand behind is the fact that there is always a little bit of Christmas spirit in us, no matter the time of year! Even if it's summer, Santa will always take the spotlight... Surfing with Santa! Psych Concepts: Compliance Santa gives gifts to those who are good in society! In order to gain a gift from Santa, children will comply with his request and be on their best behavior. Also, for Secret Santa exchanges, friends will be nicer to each other prior to the event to fulfill each others' requests. Obedience However, after winter passes, children begin to relax and loosen their morals, causing pandemonium to be stirred once more. Thus, parents must now create new rules to enforce good behavior. If a child doesn't do good, parents can threaten their child with reporting their actions to Santa... This authority figure's direct order will cause a change in behavior based on social hierarchies.

Week 5: The Anything Blog

Hello all! I recently came across an article talking about social hierarchies and the different stresses that come from it: ( Article link here ) Stress comes for us all, but our cortisol levels can vary depending on the type of situation we are in. However, the responses to these stressors are also impacted by the rank on the social ladder someone is in. A study on mice found that those with a lower social status struggled with social instability. On the flip side, those with a higher social status suffered from social isolation and loneliness.  Despite these findings, researchers believe that humans live in more complex situations; therefore, more studies are required in order for these results to be applied to us as well. This article reminded me of Maslow's hierarchy of needs, where social belongingness falls under "belonging and love". Even though esteem may be achieved through social success, they are missing the base of belonging. However, this may also contribute ...
