Who Are You?

When trying to decide who I wanted to discuss in this assignment, there was one person who first popped into my mind, that person being my sister Hannah Kiggans. Who's better to understand one's personality than the person I grew up with? The person I experienced everything with, who I laughed with and fought with and lived with. Yes, my sister seemed like the best candidate.  I had never really paid close attention to the actions and personality type of my sister. There was no need. Now that I am actually searching for answers, I am able to pull a few out of my head.
     Talking about the mental traits of my sister that I have seen, and of course being fair to her as this is public, I would have to say the main few that come to mind are humorous, well-organized and structured, adventurous, and determined/ confident. My sister, from day one, as always been a person of laughs and balance, always making weird faces on Snapchat and doing hilarious voice impersonations, while also keeping everything in order and always having everything together, even if she's just looks like she does. She tries to always be confident and walk with boldness, a few things I have learned from her as well. She is also very determined in what she wants in life, making sure she gets everything she wants at every opportunity. She wants to travel the world, and so far, she's planning on going NYC and Austria is just the next months ahead.

Although, I also believe she may be ISTP, as ISTP people are adventurous action-oriented, spontaneous, and independent.
     Looking back on the past and all the experiences I have witnessed my sister go through, I could conclude Roger's Theory, the idea that the experiences in our lives and the people who are around us affect who we are and what we become. I also, personally from my previous blog, state that Maslow's Theory has definitely impacted her life as well, as she has been satisfied with hunger and thirst, she has shelter and friends, and now she is looking to exceed in classes and fulfill her believed purpose of traveling the world. Adding to this idea of purpose and personality traits, my sister has always wanted to travel the world. She wants to become a missionary Physical Therapist and travel to other countries to help people.

     From ever since we were kids, my sister has been an adventurer, laughter, and person a great character. I wish her good luck to her future and the person she will become.

                The topic today I am going to discuss is Nature vs. Nurture. If you may have heard of these two ongoing debaters, but have never taken the time to truly understand what these two words mean, I am here to tell you the believed truth of both sides. Starting with the basis of the conversation, there are two different ideas about us (you and I) living organisms and how we are put together, from our anatomy to our skills and talents and every single part that makes up who we are.       If you are on the nature side, you believe that everything comes from genetics, from our height to being good at math or even the way we feel. Nature believes you are who you are because of your DNA, not because of your experiences or environments or own will power to achieve greatness. Nurture is the complete opposite. With the idea of Nurture, it is believed that you are you, not because of your genetics, but because of your environment, experiences, and your hard work.  Nurture

You Probably Won't Remember This Blog

            Memory is something every person has, some better than others, but we all need it as a basic way of survival. One of the topics over memory that stood out to me was Sensory. This idea fascinating idea that we can see a picture or hear couple words in just a second, and our brain is able to capture that second and give us the ability to retain it. I also thought it was really interesting how when we don't need certain memories anymore, our brain just throws them away, reasoning why we can't remember our first birthday or what we even wore two days ago. The only memory that is kept is what we hold most valuable or we continuously practice.      Although our brain has the ability to preserve memories, sometimes our brain doesn't work the way it's supposed to, as overtime and sometimes earlier than usual, our brain can lose it's grip and start to malfunction, causing permanent damage. Two common examples of this would be short term and long term memory

Dear Diary

Through the course of multiple journal entries, I pushed myself to defeat a common addiction/problem I have had all my life. I attempted to be healthier, better me, picking the salad instead of the cheeseburger or the veggie sub instead of pepperoni pizza. At the beginning of this experiment, I worked really hard to achieve these goals, picking a healthy sub or salad and drinking water rather than soda. If I did achieve these goals, I would reward myself by watching an episode of my favorite T.V show, relaxing and just enjoying my night. Later in the week, I was not as successful with my goals, eating late night sweets and drinking soda for dinner. I believe my behavior for eating and drinking healthier fluctuated by day, as some days I were better than others. I feel the biggest problem was not enough motivation. If I were to do it all over again, I would pick something else as my reinforcement.  This idea of reinforcement and behavior comes from this leaning psychology called op
