Rachel has been in 4-H for the past 12 years, compared to my 10 years. She has taken rabbit all 12 years and has become very proficient with how to win a showmanship contest. With the age limit being 19 years of age or younger, Rachel knew that her time in 4-H was coming to an end and she wanted someone to carry on the tradition of winning showmanship every year to keep it in the 4-H club. I was one of her closest friend so she taught me everything that she knew about rabbit showmanship to help me be the next winner. Spending an entire summer glued to her hip trying to absorb as much knowledge about rabbit showmanship that I could, this gave me all the strength to beat her at the show in September.
Kimberly Clemons Professor Angela Haynes English 1113 #006 - English Composistion I 7 February 2012 The Time I Tried to Save My Dog From the Electric Fence We have all had those moments where we lack common sense. You know those moments when you do something that you know better than doing, but for some reason, your brain just doesn't register how completly senseless it is. When I was just 14 years old, I had my first of many epic lapses of judgement. At the time it was anything but funny, but over the years my family has reminded me of it in such a comedic way that I can now look back at it and laugh. Let me tell you about the the time I tried to save my dog from the electric fence.
I was an only child by then, so she was my partner always. As I grew, I stopped paying attention to Wanda, because I was too worried with school, friends and my two baby siblings, so she became more a nuisance than a loved pet. June of 2009 my father told me that my dog had cancer, and that she would not live more than six months. From that day on every free time I had, I was with her. Playing, caressing her, or just sitting by her side.
It was a toy chimpanzee, named Jubilee, that she treasures to this day. A large number of pets, of all types, were a part of the family. A dog, named Rusty, was among her favorites. Among Jane’s adventures as a child, at the age of four, she once disappeared for five hours, with her family frantically searching for her. She spent those five hours in the family henhouse, waiting and watching for a hen to lay an egg.
Assignment #1 English 101 Revision # 1 February 11, 2013 My best memory hunting Saturday, October 26, 2004: the day my dream would become a reality. This would be the first time that I was able to go duck hunting and fire a gun. I had just received my hunting license and a 12-gauge shotgun as an early Christmas present. It was a cold and windy morning that day. The day started by having to get up at two o’clock in the morning followed by a long car ride and normally when I am in a car I can fall asleep, but this morning I was too excited to do that.
My first dog I could feel soft fluffy fur running through my fingers as I was petting little husky puppy’s when I went to Wisconsin to get my very first dog. On February 27, 2009 I had barley turned nine years old, I had told my dad I wanted a white fluffy puppy for my birthday. He said he’ll think about it. Then a few months later he surprised me and said we were going to Wisconsin to get my very first dog, I was so excited I could die. It took us one night and two days to get there but it felt like ten years.
When you look at this case and apply sociological imagination, you see that she did this because that is what society thinks is beautiful. My mom is a strong believer in making me work for everything I have. I was never handed anything, I always had to work for it. Around two weeks before I turned sixteen, my mom drove me around to fill out job applications for every place around town that would hire a sixteen year old. I probably filled out about fifty applications.
These developments in my life illustrate Piaget’s first stage of cognitive development, the sensorimotor period, because it involved my learning to respond to the world around me through motor activity and to the various stimuli that were presented to my senses. When my mom always brought me to her work when I was a baby, most of my mom’s co-workers always held me because I giggled a lot, and I went with anybody that wanted to carry me. She said that I could be easily being stolen because I was so trusting. This is related on Erikson’s first stage of development framework which is Basic Trust vs. Mistrust: To develop a sense that the world is safe, a “good place.” Between the ages of 1 to 3 years old, my mom told me that I would rather play by myself than playing with another kid. I am afraid to mingle with other children and to be around with people.
