Kelsey Comp Developmental Psychology Spring 2012 Autobiography “The schwans man dropped you off at our door one day,” that is the answer I got when I asked my parents where I came from. I grew up with a very complicated family; both of my parents were married once before they married each other. From my dad’s first marriage he had two daughters, Sara and Jill. From my mom’s first marriage she had a son and a daughter, Adam and Jenni. I am the only child from both of my parents together.
Coming from a big family I have seen certain family members struggle in life simply because they did not have an educational background. This has only motivated me to want to finish getting my degree so I can hopefully find a great career in the near future. Going through everything I did with my family in the past will benefit me as I begin this degree program also because when I finish I hope I will have inspired other members in my family to finish school also. Being African American has set me back in life a few times but every since I experienced that it has only made me more determined to finish school. This way, the next time I apply for a job they will be too impressed with my educational background to turn me
My son Kaleb was born May 24 2008, and from that moment on I wanted to give him everything he deserves. I tried to go back to college right after my son was born, but I had no idea what I wanted to do for my future and taking care of Kaleb wasn't cheap. I was constantly working to pay for the expenses of Kaleb, while paying for the rest of the expenses I had. Finally four years later, I made the best decision I could for my family and that was going back to school. One of the many reasons why I came back was that I did not was to continue being in a factory the rest of my life.
I have fallen in love with the ISU campus after seeing it first-hand in July. The open campus is very pleasant and comfortable. I have met many alumni from Illinois State University who have only positive things to say about the school and its courses. My best friend is also thinking about applying at ISU.

As far as how a newborn acts and how competent they are, I am very familiar with that aspect. I have a four -year old nephew who lived with me for almost his entire first year and I have been a huge part of his life and continue to help raise him. I have always said since I was a little girl that I was born to be a mom. I always want to be the one holding and taking care of babies and little children. When my nephew was born I was able to receive the opportunity to know what it is like to have and raise a baby.
#Camp Have you ever had a friend or family member try to get you to go to camp. Well four years ago my parents sent me to Pine Cove. Now you might think I would have wanted to go to camp, but in fact I hated not staying in my own bed, but in the end I had a great time. Four years ago my sister was signing up for her second year at Pine Cove. I had been going to Pine Cove’s family camp for a few years and didn’t want to change my plans.
If it wasn’t for that time spent as a young kid living with my Grandparents, reading and writing, I honestly don’t know where I would be as far as writing, reading, or even as far as attending Purdue Calumet University. Here she is how 13 years later giving me a topic to write about for my essay. So again if it weren’t for her who knows what I would be writing about! So the next time you’re having a hard time writing something think about how family has influenced you to read or write. I know it sure helps
My mother at time was out most of the night and not able to get me up and ready early in the morning. When I finished the sixth grade( which I shouldn’t of) I asked my grandparents if I could live with them. They were more then thrilled to have me. I then moved to Murray, Kentucky where I finished grade school, middle school and graduated from Murray High School. I also spent half of a year at Wesleyan College, in Owensboro, Kentucky and had to leave to give birth to my son.
