What am I grateful for....

I am grateful for having many things in life. The person that I am most grateful for is my mother Magdalena. Not only because she is my mother but because she was always there for me no matter what. I am amazed that she was always supporting my brother and I after my father died when I was 10. She always encouraged us to do better no matter what. Everything that I have wanted she was loving enough to give me in my life. I love her so much for everything that she has done.
I am also grateful for having good health and trying to make everyone do and think the same. Everyone who is healthy should be grateful that the have life, a house, and everything that is their need not their want.
I am also grateful for having an education and never giving up on myself even though I had hard times when my father passed away. If school did not exist I would be so bored and wouldn't like life. School teaches different things each day that passes. Once 6 years of College is over with then comes work and I will be grateful for achieving what a lot of people did not have long time ago and they will be proud of me.
Many people take things for granted and don't realize what they are grateful for until they lose everything. That is why I think America kept the tradition of the Holiday Thanksgiving for being with the ones that love us and thinking what we have done to be were we are now.

Research Proposal

For my paper in research class it will be started from scrap. I want a fresh start that I could start and put my own thoughts in a research paper. The reason why I will do that is because lately I’ve been confused about what my major will be. I like many things that I could possibly do in my life as a career but i officially chose psychology. Why? Because I like the thought of working with people and being social with anyone that needs help. I like helping kids whenever they are struggling with something.
     So I have decided on writing about how children develop through the psycho-sexual theories and how Freuds theories get involved in how we all go through steps in life. I will discuss all the stages step by step and divide them into different examples and show how the stages are used continuously in our life. I have many ideas that I want to share with anyone that is interested in what I have to say about my idea about Freud and his theories.  
    What I will include in this paper and hope to find is different articles, different magazines, maybe even youtube videos that show how little kids react in the specific stages. Also my number one source that I will use is my general psychology textbook, developmental psychology textbook and my abnormal psychology textbook. All of these three textbooks have different ways of expressing different topics about the stages.
     My thesis will be about how I believe that when people pass the stages of psycho-sexual theory they will be fixated on one stage that will last through life. I have many arguments with people that don’t believe me so I will like to fight my thoughts  in a paper that i will do a lot of research on to try to prove my point.
