The Impact of Change
“As humans develop, they must continually adapt to change, on a personal, social, and societal level.” (p. 6) Whatever experience one has affects their view on life, since change is inevitable we have to choose which way the experience will shape the positive and negative parts of our personality. When a child undergoes a fundamental change at home, at school or in any of their other Microsystems; they take that memory, skill or value along with them. This is why a child’s environment is detrimental to a child’s overall success, if a child is subject to constant stress in any of their environments, that child will adopt that stress upon himself and reflect accordingly. Some examples of the different Microsystems are; Family, School, Peers, Media and Community and all of these areas are very important to the child’s early development. As I reflected back on my own personal development in these five different Microsystems, I gathered three key developmental changes in each category that shaped my life and the person that I am today. One of the most important Microsystems is the Family spectrum of the Microsystem because no matter what, you will always be coming home to what is going on there. For me, there were many different changes that impacted my earlier development that followed into my adolescence. My family and I moved to ____ in 2001 in search of a treatment procedure or cure, I was six years old and very ill with a parasite that was killing me. The move to ___ impacted my development greatly, because not only was I cured of my parasite, I went from living in the suburbs in the Napa Valley, to living in a heavily wooded area, with no traditional power sources and living away from most of civilization. Moving to ___ not only affected my Microsystem, it also affected my overall view on life.
Because of living in a remote area, as well as the illness and allergies I was suffering from, my mother homeschooled me until the Fourth
