My personality is genrally normal. There really isnt anything strange i can tell you. The five positive aspects of my personality are that 1.im nice, 2. im funny, 3. im understanding, 4.im kind and 5. im outgoing. The three things i am not proud of is that I can be a complete turn aroiund of my normal self those three are 1. i can be a total jerk, 2. i can be unaproachable, 3. i can be really sarcastin and condasending, these only happen when really annoying people try to get me to be like this, and it also happens on off days that i just dont feel like dealing with people. I think that i am an optimistic person because i look towards the future and know that i can do well. The other way that i am optimistic is that i can always find the light to dark situations. Two traits that change from situation to situation are kind and nice, they usually get replaced by total jerk and sarcasm. The situations that provoke these changes are when i get annoyed since it happens easily. i think that these changes can be bad because they make people mad at me and then they try to turn it around on me at a later date.

One thing that i thought was really cool, was that if kids learn to talk with there hands first its paves the way for the kid to learn words better because he can identify the object. As I learned this i realized that i always talk with my hands and if it isnt always major I still do it to some extent. I think that I am a creative person. I always have ideas flowing from my brain, but all arent good ideas. I create these ideas when I have down time or when my A.D.D. kicks in just ask Ryan and Jeremy how that goes. I am always doing something with my hands and when me and my dad have to do things around the house and the objective is to fix something and my dad cant do it i always think of ways it can be done and 99.9% of the time my creativity pulls through. I may not always be able to carry out my creativity but i know that others could because i dont have the ability to carry them out. The thing that was most interesting was that there are many forms of intelligence and that can be interpereted to anyones life.

Classical Conditioning- A type of learning in which one learns to link two or more stimuli and anticipate events

Operant Conditioning- A type or learning in which behavior is strengthened if followed by a reinforcer or diminished if followed by a punisher

The diference is that classical it learning on how to link events and stimuli and has nothing to do with how we learn behaviorial habits. this is all so interesting becuase it helps me show that how I devleoped came through operant conditioning, because if i was bad i got spanked and if i was good i got a reward like money or an E for effort and all that good stuff For poositive reinforcement when ever i get really good grades my parents will reward me with cash and what not to keep me doing what i am doing because i know that i will keep getting money. A form of punishment that i got when i was litte was me and my sister would fight and i would be the start because she would gang up on me and when i would hurt her i would get spanked and i have learned to not startfights. The most interesting thing that i learned was that if you play a certaing sound or something as a trigger and after that trigger goes off and you award someone with it that after a while the reward wesopones becomes voluntary and the person will mindlessly reach out or expect the reward
