2 types of Stress

There are two types of stress; Normative and Crisis Stressors.
Normative Stress is everyday stress. Money, bills, teachers, jobs, tests, and hunger would be some examples of everyday stress. One normative stress for me would be waking up on time for school. I don't know why, but it's hard for me to be wide-awake in the morning. I tried going to bed early, but that just made me sleep in longer. One way I think would be a good way to handle this is getting a different bed. My bed is too comfortable for me and I guess that would be one of the many reasons that I cannot get up in the morning.

Crisis Stressors is long-term stress. Severe illness, death in family, jail time, or a divorce would be examples of crisis stress.
One crisis stress for me is probably the loss of my close cousin, Minnie. She was like my sister and the news brought great shock to our family. One way that we handled it was knowing that she was in a better place and letting her go.

3 Defensive Mechanisms

There are 8 defensive mechanisms that include
-Projection (push blame on someone else)
-Rationalization (excuses)
-Displacement (Take anger out on someone else)
-Conversion (emotion become physical problem)
-Regression (act like a little kid)
-Idealization (place high importance on item)
-Fantasy (imagine and try to escape problem)

Out of these 8 one of the 3 mechanisms that I experienced was Projection.
As I was growing up, I would get into a lot of trouble at times. I have a little sister and a little brother. One time, My mom just got done mopping up the floor. I tried making juice even if i was pretty small. I spilled the juice on the floor on accident. My mother got mad and asked what happened. I got scared and blamed it on my little sister. My mother just re-mopped the floor and let it go.

The second mechanism that I experienced was Rationalization. On some mornings, I am very, very tired. It would be my own fault because I would go to bed really late that night. One of my parents would wake me up and I would have an excuse ready for them. I would tell them that I have a headache, but really I just wanted to sleep in.


The last mechanism would have to be Conversion. I recently went on a school trip to Juneau. On one of the last days there, we had to show our project to everybody in the group. I didn't really want to go in front of everyone and start talking. So i sort of felt sick. I told the teacher to sit me out because I wasn't feeling well.

Intelligence Test

The results for the Intelligence Test that I took says that I am Linguistic which means that I am word smart. I would probably say that it is correct because I enjoy reading books and writing papers (besides that research paper that I haven't finished yet). I would also say that it is true because it has a higher percentage than the other results that include; interpersonal, musical, logical, intrapersonal, naturalistic. These are things that I probably wouldn't be good at. I don't play any instrument and I hate math. So yes, i would say that the results to the intelligence test is correct.

In 10 years...

In ten years i see myself as a successful woman with a good amount of businesses in Alaska. After saving up a lot of money, my dream is to travel the world. I would never settle in one place so I would probably own many houses in different countries. I want to write books one day so in ten years I might be a best selling author. I would like my life to be carefree after hiring trustworthy people to manage my businesses. If i get bored of doing nothing i'd probably go back to college to earn a degree in primary education or an administrative degree. I want to be the boss of many things so I won't have any bosses myself. That way, I could do anything I want. If i get tired of being around teachers and children all day I could see myself as a photographer. Maybe a photo journalist. I can't really make up my mind, so in ten years, you'll either see me as a business owner, author, teacher, principal, photographer, or a photo journalist. Unless there is someone that pays for my way around the world and pay me for it. Then that'll become my career.

Introducing Myself

My name is Danielle Dawn Kashatok but everyone that knows me call me Anguu. My heritage is central Yup'ik and I've never left Alaska, yet. Anguu isn't my Yup'ik name which everyone mistakes it to be. My Yup'ik name is actually Qikertaugaq. I'm named after my late uncle, Daniel Kashatok. I was born on the 10th of August in Bethel, Alaska to Ernest and Bernadette Kashatok. I have four brothers and two sisters including two nieces. I am a senior at the moment and have a huge possibility of graduating this May. After high school, I plan to attend college somewhere in Alaska. I would like to major in Business Entrepreneurship and open up a few businesses in this coastal region. I am currently employed as a clerk at the Kashatok Brother's Store which is owned by my grandmother, Katie. I have been working there for about five years now. I don't get any special family treatment over there if that's what your thinking. I get paid the same amount as any other clerk there. I have big dreams for my future and hope that I'll accomplish them one day. Right now, I am just a student trying to finish up my work to graduate.

Goals

My five short term goals would have to include being on time for school and work, graduate this coming May, work on scholarships, go to college, and prove motivation.

-I plan to be on time for school and work by stop being lazy.

-To graduate this coming May i will need to pass all my classes this semester. To pass all these classes I'm going to work more often and be on time.

-I'm going to start working on scholarships before the Spring because i think that is when the deadlines are.

-Before I graduate, I'm going to apply to many Alaskan colleges I can and hope that i get accepted considering all my bad grades.

-I'm going to try to be motived to finish my school work because I think that I lack a lot of motivation or maybe it's just plain laziness.

My long term goal would have to be me being successful.

-To accomplish my long term goal I'm hoping that I'm going to go to college and actually graduate from there. Come back to Kipnuk and have a super high-paying job. Make money without actually having to do anything. Maybe someone could pay me for watching T.V. That's what i would call success.

Children, children, children.

*How would i play with my children? Pshh, idk...a piggy back ride? yeah thats it.
lmao, just kidding.
I'd buy them their own play ground and slide with them...etc.
*If i had to discipline my children, i would...ground them.
During this punishment, there would be no fun involved.
They'd get some major work done around the house.
No t.v, no cell phones,no video games, no computers, not even a single smile (jk).
*If i had to get/play a game for/with my children that made them learn something
then i'd get a hooked on pheonix game but for kids. (I forgot the name for it, but you know what
i mean.)
*As a child, when i was being punished..i'd get an occasional spanking. Not too brutal but enough to let me learn my lesson. If I did something really bad then I'd get grounded. Not for a long time though...my sad face convinced my dad easily. The only bad benefit during my groundedness was the fact that i couldn't go outside. All i did was play inside, watched t.v., and eat junk food. Wheres the bad in that?
*I don't think that i'd use the same discipline on my children that my parents used on me. I think that they went too easy on me. Either that or i was a big time brat.
I think that i'd lock them in their rooms with nothing but a bed in there...not even blankets.
juuuuuuuuust kidding.
I guess i'd ban fun stuff for them. Even stuff like Prom.
Yeah, if ur my kid...you gotta stay a good kid. or else.
jk
