Self-Paper

All through my life I have been taught different things some I understood and some I did not. The older I got the more I understood some of them that is just part of growing up. But, in this Psychology class that I am taking at ECPI as helped more understand a lot of topics that I have heard about and wondered for a while. Plus has helped me understand some of my life experiences through time, what I have learned within myself, and how I will you this class in my challenges throughout the future.

I am only twenty one years old but I believe that I have been through a lot. I know that there are some young adults or kids that have been through more intense citations but I believe as a young child the more you see that is real the more it will help you in the future.
