When I was in the fourth grade, my mother and I was involved in a head-on collision. We were just leaving the car lot in our new Mercedes Benz when it happened. I remember an older woman talking to me after the wreck. She gave me a Popsicle and told me not to worry because everything was going to be okay. However, I do not remember the other car swerving into our lane and hitting us, nor do I remember getting out of the car. My mom sometimes talks to me about the accident and she told me that after we were hit she asked me if I was okay. I responded with, “I hurt my big toe.” (I actually had no injuries). Which I also have no memory of. I have removed the memory of the wreck from my conscious using repression.

Receiving a raise will make me want to do an even better job on my work. My boss uses positive reinforcement when doing this.

When we were learning about the parts of an eyeball, we got to do a lab where we dissected a sheep eyeball (not as easy or squishy as it sounds). Before the students were allowed to cut open the eye, we were instructed to watch our teacher do it first. After watching the teacher do it, I did it perfectly. The best type of learning for me is observational learning, which is what my teacher used.
Self-efficacy
Friday, January 20, I took a three-hour long test called the ATI TEAS. This test helps determine which students will be accepted into the nursing program. My friends, family, and co-workers encouraged me by telling me that I would do great. I wasn’t sure about how I would do, and I didn’t really listen to the encouragement. I scored proficient on my test, which is high enough to have me considered for the nursing program. Although, I think that I could have done much better if I had had a better sense of
