Final Blog

During this course we discussed many topics including different parts of the human brain and tasks they perform, the development of ones personality, memory, emotions, physiological disorders, and positive psychology.  The few topics that stood out to me where the human brain and physiological disorders.  I enjoyed this first topic because I was able to do the module task with my coaches daughter and I was able to learn a lot from her.  It was great to experience her learning and having fun with the task as well.  She learned what parts of her brain controlled her speaking and movements.  I enjoyed the physiological disorders section because there are so many things that can be going on in someones brain that you don't know about.  During the in class meeting I really enjoyed the second meeting because we were able to talk about positive Psychology and how simple tasks can make a big difference in the mental state of someones life.  Before taking this class I didn't have much prior knowledge about Psychology, but now I have more knowledge on these specific topics.  With all this knew knowledge I with writing blogs I enjoyed writing the one about my Great Grandmother the most because I got to think really deep about her personality.  I also enjoyed reading many of my piers blogs through out this class.  One person who had a blog that really stood out to me was Brandon.  His blog on his character study really good out to me.  I liked this blog because he wrote about his mom and how she has been a great influence in his life.  After writing the blog I really liked receiving the feedback from my piers through the blog comments.  In addition to the blogs there were also a lot of great videos throughout this course.  One of my favorite videos from this course was about positive psychology.  I liked this because there were many different options to help create positive thoughts.  This topic also stand out to me the most on a personal point of view.  Throughout my life I have always been into journaling and being able to get all of my feelings out on paper.  This technique has seemed to really help me get through some hard times.  Overall I had a really fun time in this class learning about different aspects of Psychology.  The online part of this class was very nice, it helped me be able to juggle other stuff in my life but also be able to have the right amount of time to be able to excel in this class.

About Me

Hello everyone! I am Heidi Moser and I am a freshman here at Hardin Simmons University. I traveled all the way from Las Vegas, Nevada to attend school here in Abilene, Texas. Many of you might be wondering why I chose this small town over Las Vegas. I am here because Coach Bart Craig called me and told me about the amazing opportunities that this town has to offer. I couldn't pass up his this opportunity so I decided to pack my bags and come play golf for him at HSU. I had to leave a lot back home to be able to come here but so far I think that it was worth it. Back home I lived with my parents and my little brother. My brother is 15 years old, and is currently a freshman in high school. Most of my family is from a small town in Nebraska called Grand Island, however i have one pair of grandparents that live in Las Vegas with us. We have two puppy Yorkie Terriers named Bogey and Ace (these are golf terms that are complete opposites just like their personalities). It has b...

Grandma Great

For this activity about personality I decided to analyze my Great Grandmother.  I titled this Grandma Great because that is what I and all my cousins have always called her.  If I could think of one word that would describe my Grandma it would be nurturing.  In the concept nature vs nurture my grandmother is all nurture.  When I go visit her and stay at her house the first thing she does for me when I wake up is make me my favorite pancakes, homemade.  Her priority is to make everyone happy.  My Grandmother is about to celebrate her 95th birthday this November.  I have known her for 18 years and her personality has never changed.  She has always been the some Grandmother who puts others before herself and who makes everyone happy when she tells her stories from her childhood.  I love finding out new things about my Grandma from her old stories that she tells me about out family.  Using Eysenck's personality theory I see my Grandmother as...

M6 #3

For this blog I decided to interview two of my family members who suffer from anxiety and depression.  At first I was very nervous to ask my family members to help me with this school assignment because it is very hard to word things the right way to people who suffer from these illnesses.  However, my family was very accommodating and they were able to answer all of the questions that I had.  I have decided not to use names or pictures, but I decided to interview my mom and my uncle.  At the end of these interviews I learned a lot and gained a lot of respect for my mom and uncle. I interviewed my mom first.  She has clinical anxiety and has been overcoming it for over 20 years.  When she experiences a panic attack it mostly happens earn she doesn't have control over a situation. During these attacks she breathes really heavily.  Most of the time she is very good at calming herself down, however it is a lot easier for her to do this if people around ...
