Include specific characteristics of your physical, cognitive, social, and emotional development, and how these changed over time. Cite five or more developmental theories, theorists, concepts, or principles and describe how they apply to your development. Discuss the environmental conditions and experiences that supported your development, and those that made it challenging and how you coped with these. Describe how you would apply your personal experiences and understanding of human development in raising, working, or interacting with children.
My background:
The reason why I came to the USA is that I want to challenge myself. When I first came to SBCC, I felt the pressure I never had in China. I was challenged by all kinds of difficulties, like second language barriers, safety issues and homesick, etc. Fortunately, I got over it gradually and gain academic and life skills. Moreover, I am more confident and have more friends. Everything deserves for me.
When in senior high school, I figured out I was sensitive to the emotions of people around me. At that time, I started to build up interested to study the behavior of human beings. Thus, I declare my major as Psychology after I enrolled in SBCC.
