Thesis

•January 25, 2008 • Leave a Comment

From my thesis, a child’s first three years, I would gather research methods to find the best forms of parenting, ways to nurture, and what to expect.  What are the different research methods to find the best forms of parenting, ways to nurture, and what to expect?  How could I find different research methods, the best forms of parenting, ways to nurture, and a detailed description to week-to-week development?  What are ways I could find different research methods, the best forms of parenting, ways to nurture, and a detailed description to week-to-week development?

I feel that this is an exciting topic for me to research so I give it a 10!

Who am I?

•January 23, 2008 • 3 Comments

  

            My name is Amy Adams.  I am 5’7 ½” tall, green eyes, and brown hair.  This spring of 2008 I became a junior who now commutes forty minutes to the Indiana University of Pennsylvania everyday. I am majoring in Psychology, and plan to minor in Sociology.  I would also like to major in Child development and Family studies.  I am 23 years old, and got married last June of 2007.  In August of this year my husband and I will be expecting our first child. 

 

            My husband is in the Army Reserve, and has been for nine years.  He is currently a Sergeant, and is looking into becoming a Staff Sergeant.  He is 28 years old, and graduates from the Indiana University of Pennsylvania this spring!

 

            I currently rent an apartment in Punxsutawney, where I have lived for 3 years.  I have 6 pets; 3 dogs and 3 cats.  I know, it’s a lot, but they all get along great which makes it fun.  My dogs names are Jade (4 year old Rottweiler), Sadie, and Fox (1 year old Pomeranians).  The names of my cats are Baby, Milo, and Terry.

 

            All of my family basically lives in Punxsutawney, and has all their lives.  I have 1 sister named Amanda.  She is 21 years old and works park-time.  I try to get her to go to college, but she doesn’t seem too interested right now.  I also have 2 step-sisters Tania; 25, and Leslie; 29.  Both of my step-sisters are married, but my sister Amanda is not.  My mother works at as a secretary at a machine shop, and my father works in a lumber yard. 

 

            As I complete college and get my degree, I plan on opening a daycare.  No, that doesn’t really have anything to do with Psychology, but I want to be able to raise my children, and still make a living.  I plan on managing my daycare at least until my children are into kindergarten.  By then, it will hopefully be established enough that I can hire help to run it, and I can then pursue what I went to college for.  

 

            From that point I plan on going back to college to get my Master’s in Psychology, where I would like to work at a private firm doing therapy.  I would also like to get a doctorate in Psychology, and maybe teach as I get older.

 

            This type of writing is narrative.  I tried the best I could to make it like a story.  I felt that it would make it more interesting for my group, and the other groups to read.

Thanks for giving me feedback!  I wanted to get straight to the point without leaving out a lot of detailed information.

Foster 23- My opinion of research is that it is very useful for both schooling assignments, and for personal use; whatever it may be that you need it for.

What is research?

•January 16, 2008 • 1 Comment

   Research requires alot of time and effort.  I feel the easiest way to research something is through the internet.  Using the internet makes it very easy because it provides an unlimited amount of information on just about anything.

   Another way to research is the good old fashioned way; using books.  There are numerous libraries in your township, along with the numberous ones here at IUP.  Using the computer labs at IUP also gives you a chance to view many different magazines, and catalogs through EscroHost.

   Finally, research not only is used for essays, and homework, but it is also used for personal knowledge.  Though researching something of interest you gain knowledge and insight.
