Introduction

My name is Shannon Marie Harris. I am a sixteen year old Junior at Bruce High School. I live at home with my dad, mom, brother, and sister. At home I also have 2 dogs, 2 cats, a pony, and about 115 deer. My favorite subject in school is Chemistry. I just happen to love science! Once I graduate I plan to attend either UW Platteville or UW La Crosse in the field of Criminal Justice. At school I like seeing my friends and being involved with different clubs and sports. I'm actually very involved. I am the president of Soft Maple 4-H, the bulletin editor for Key Club, and the FFA reporter. I'm also in Science Olympiad, Student Council, FCA, and Track.

My life, friends, family, and my high school has shaped me as a person. Everyday people learn from their mistakes. Every year in high school I notice myself becoming more serious. I'm a well mannered student and I try hard at everything I do. I think the good choices I make and the people I am around have a big affect on me, and have made me what I am today. Setting goals and never giving up is one of my many characteristics.

If someone were to ask me what Psychology is, I wouldn't be able to give them a very good or correct answer. Honestly, I'm not really sure what Psychology is. I feel that it is important though, otherwise it wouldn't be taught. I'm excited to find out more about it. I think that it could be a very interesting subject. Hopefully in the next few weeks I will have a deeper understanding of what Psychology is and why it is so important.

I know that Psychology has to do with people. I think it's a deeper understanding of how people think and interact with others though communication, sound, actions, etc. I think it is also has to do with our brains and how we think and how everybody is different. I'm not really sure though.

Reflective writing I think is going to be a weekly assignment on out thoughts on what we learned in the past week, what we read int he text book, class discussions, and everything that you have told us. I hope its similar to my reflections from my last moodle class. I just finished Family and Jobs. Our task was to keep a weekly journal reflection on moodle of what we all did and learned. We also had to start discussion topics along with replies to other students topics and their thoughts on different things. I thought it was pretty neat and a good way to see everybody's process. I think its a good way for us to highlight the important things that we got from the class.

The brain and the way it functions is so amazing and complex. It controls our whole body. I think Psychology shows us that we all are very free. We are free to imagine, think, say, and do anything we want. Everybody's brain in capable of so much. Everybody is full of tons of knowledge. I think Psychology gives us a chance to better understand it all, and a way to help others who may struggle with certain things in life.

  1. I agree with you that the brain is amazing and complex. I feel that it is the most amazing part of our body and that it really encourages our actions and reactions. Our brain is essentially our life, yet we don't fully understand it, which I find amazing.
