AP Psych Post #2

Hello! Here's a quick little journey throughout my life thus far-

Birth - 

While I don't remember much about it, I was born on April 11th, 2005 in Houston, TX. I've lived here pretty much all of my life.


I don't know where a lot of my baby photos went, but there's one! I had super curly hair when I was a baby.
According to my parents, I wasn't very original with my first word being "Mama". My parents taught me to crawl by placing trails of cookies along the floor and I would desperately struggle to grab all of them. I still have that love for cookies today.

I was also apparently a very calm baby. My parents described it as a "welcome break" after having my much rowdier older sister. 

Adolescence-

I don't think there were too many standout moments here. Puberty was a uh...not very fun time but very thankful to be past that. I made a lot of connections with some very close friends who I still hang out with today. A lot of my passions arose during this time period. I fell in love with science thanks to my middle school science teacher. (fun fact, she'd spray us with water guns if we got questions wrong 👍) I took a liking to pop music, got obsessed with a few video games, and overall learned a lot about myself.

Future Plans-

As a senior, I've had a lot of time to think about the future, and I can say with 100% certainty I have no idea where life will take me.

I'm graduating this May and going to college seems equally exciting and terrifying.

I'm still waiting on 8 colleges to get back to me on decisions, but I hope to go to Rice University, mostly since I love Houston and I'd rather not stray too far away. I want to become a doctor (leaning towards pediatrics, but who knows where I'll end up) so that's a LOT of schooling for me. I haven't given med school much thought, I'll worry about it when I need to. 

In terms of marriage, absolutely no clue who it'll be with. No high school sweethearts to report right now. Part of me is worried about marriage and starting a family since I'll be working to become a doctor and I'm not sure how much free time I'll have to work on my personal life. I do hope to get married one day and start a family though.

I do want kids, I'd like to have 2, a boy and a girl. This is most likely due to my sister and I having a really close relationship and I hope my kids forge a similar bond. But of course, I'll be happy with whatever cards I'm dealt with. I hope we'll have kids when we both have stable careers, but that make take a while for me due to medical school and residencies and fellowships and whatever else comes my way. No clue about names.

Again, I do want to become a doctor. Contrary to popular belief, this is NOT because of my Indian parents, they've always encouraged me to do whatever I find interesting. I'm not necessarily 100% set on working towards an MD though, I plan to keep an open mind about career options during college. Definitely want to work in science though.

I'm not sure when I would want to retire, but when I do, I'd love to retire and become a teacher of some sort. I love teaching kids and tutoring peers. In fact, if teachers were given the pay they DESERVE, I might have considered a career in education. I think I'll be excited to spend more time at home with my partner.

I have absolutely no clue when I'll die but I HOPE it'll be a nice natural death, no diseases or gruesome accidents.

Each year, I help manage semi-annual blood drives with Dulles HOSA! We always manage to get a huge turnout, so I'm glad I can significantly contribute to such a good cause. On average, we obtain enough blood to save ~300 lives per year! I'm excited about our next blood drive ( March 28th ).  You should all sign up to donate <3 (seriously.)

Flight Risk [April 11th (Frontal Lobe + Norepinephrine)] Flight Risk was once a typical college student. One day, he went out to a bar with his friends after collectively acing a Biochemistry test. The bar was lively and Flight Risk enjoyed drinking and talking with his friends. After a few drinks, Flight Risk and his friends notice a strange-looking group of hooded people walk in.  Soon, the swarm of hooded men starts running toward Flight Risk's group!  They take one of Flight Risk's friends and try to escape with her! In a drunken state, Flight Risk fails to aid his friends. With clouded judgement and lack of coordination, Flight Risk stumbles away, hoping to escape the situation rather than lend a hand. The next day, his friend is found dead in the middle of the campus quad. Flight Risk decided that he would no longer run away from confrontation and will fight for himself and his friends. Out of sheer determination, Flight Risk develops a device that allows him to control ...
