The Development of Blake Varnell Brinkman, 6th HST
Infancy • I could mumble very cutely. • In this stage of my late infancy, I was only months old. • I could not stand without assistance. • I began to explore my world by putting things in my mouth and attempting to manipulate them with my hands. • I dropped the ancient home phone next to me and moved on quickly because my coordination had not been completely developed. • I had a very short attention span. • I had very few teeth that had began to grow. • I got very chubby and never lost the baby fat until high school. • All I needed was food, water, and loads of sleep!
Early Childhood • I began to do more physical activities such as soccer, basketball, and in this case skiing. • I was developing coherent speech; my favorite word was no and why. • I started to want to do things alone, without assistance. This picture was the first time of me skiing by myself. • My life was a big adventure of finding things, and exploring new places that usually got me lost, in trouble, or both. • I was only just beginning to get out of the physiological needs, and the safety needs just began to set in.
Preadolescence • My imagination was vivid • My body began to get definition • I could run and do certain physical activities without • I preformed independent activities and same sex group activities with very little girl interaction (by choice) • I needed to feel approved by friends and family so I could feel good about myself • I had stopped thinking about physiological needs because they were always present due to my parents taking care of them. Safety had also become a norm and was still important, but not as important as having love and belonging.
Adolescence • Puberty and the awkward years made themselves present. • I was very self conscious. • I tried to figure out who I was to not much avail. • I began to question authority • I developed complex and abstract thoughts. • Love and belonging was still at the top of my personal hierarchy of needs.
Young Adulthood (Now!) • My physical development is about to draw to a close. • My emotions are becoming more mature and reasonable. • I have begun to accept responsibility for my actions & accept criticism. • I have started to develop my skills in a very specific skill-set that bring me happiness. • I am very social; I have a group of friends and colleagues that I associate and spend a good amount of time with, and I also chase girls in hope for a love and intimacy. I am working on the esteem level right now; self-esteem, confidence, and achievement are the aims of most of my needs. That is not to say that I have forgotten about physiological, safety, or love and belonging; I still do things everyday to achieve these goals, such as chasing girls for an intimate relationship or begging my mother for lunch money.
