Hey Guys!

So I am really enjoying this class and finding that all the information that we are going over is very interesting. I really enjoyed last class lecture espeically when we talked about the different stages, the one that really made me think about myself in creating a situation that occured in my life was the ability to cope with stress and also the appreciation and affection. The reason why I thought that these two really realted to me was because at the time I was 2 I lived with my aunt and uncle on and off throughout my life and then finally when i was 6 I moved with them permanently. The challenge that we face is that there were times where i wanted to know why my biological dad didnt want me to live with him and my step mom and my siblings anymore, so my aunt and uncle had to sit down with me and tell what happened and that they are here for me, and it also hurt my aunt because my biological dad was her brother, so she lost her brother too. They finally adopted me when i was in 7th grade and we still have some times where we just need to talk about it because we are still hurt from it since he doesnt talk to us anymore, and we think that he should be because everything that his sister did for him and what not. So as a family we show these two categories or characteristics and support eachother as a family, one thing that we always do after we talk about it is give a group hug, it is something that we ahve always done since I moved with them. The last lecture was probably one of my favorites because you can relate to each one.
