psychological introductory

My name is Kelsey Mae Detlaff and I am sixteen years old and go to Flambeau High School. Through the years of growing up I was around my grandparents just as much as my parents. My grandparents work ethic were installed into me. I've always been taught to work as hard as I can and that laziness is never an option. My grandpa always says " There's always something constructive you could be doing, and no excuses for being lazy or bored." That has definitely had a positive impact on my life. Working has always been important to me and always will be which makes me proud of my family and myself.
   I'm a person to over think things a lot. I over think to the point of worrying and stressing over things that are smaller than I make them to be. Which tends to get in the way of me learning sometimes unfortunately. It happens quite a bit that I make an assignment harder than it really is. I've improved on many of my weaknesses through high school but still have more to work.
   I always try to make the best of my relationship with anyone, whether it's with my boyfriend,parents, or siblings. I try to avoid any form of confrontation at all times. I'm a person to work disagreements out by talking them out in a calm way. Not saying i never fight with anyone because it does happen, but I prefer not to.
   I'm very comfortable socially. At first I'm shy until I get to know someone because I need to find out how I can be around them. I'm very outgoing after I know my limits with people. I'm easy to get along with and fun to be around. I don't like people that are judge mental so I make sure never to do that and to always be accepting of differences.
   My anger level is usually pretty low. I may let things get to me easy but I don't let my anger get out of control. The word that would describe my kind of anger is irritation. I get irritated and annoyed with them, but don't show it to other people. I take after my mom in that way she doesn't like to show her anger. It is one of the many things we have in common, in other words I'm a replica of my mom. We talk about everything because we both are good listeners and are easy to talk to. Now being alike is a downfall in our relationship at times because it makes us argue. The reason for that is we both think were right and it leaves to a never ending fight. Most of my traits i get from my mom and I'm proud of it!

  1. Nice job - you hit on a number of psychological points - and show that you are influenced by both nature - being like your mom and nurture learning from your grandparents. You talk about how you process information, which is cognition. Nice job
