This document discusses a student's experience taking a Human Development class while juggling a busy schedule with work and other commitments. The first time they took the class, they struggled and had to retake it, learning that they need to dedicate focused time to their studies. When they retook the class, they blocked off hours each week and studied more, learning about Erikson's stages of development and the impacts of trust and relationships in childhood. The document also discusses the student attending a fundraising event that reminded them many disabilities are acquired later in life, not at birth, and their plans to further their learning through similar events and keeping up with literature.

C5-Human Development
Students will demonstrate understanding and ability to identify
psychopathology and developmental issues across lifespan. The first time I attempted to take Human Development and Life Issues I was planning my wedding and was enrolled in 3 classes while working full time and being involved in multiple non-profit boards. It was after having to retake that class that I learned I am not able to do it all and do it well. When I retook the class in the Spring of 2016, I had excused myself from all of the non-profit boards and I began a routine of blocking off 6-9 hours a week to work on school. I wanted to teach myself and my family that in order for me to be successful I needed to put a lot more work than what I had been putting in the past. Based on my final grade on my final test in Human Development and Life Issues, I can proudly say that I was able to become familiar with Ericksons 8 stages of human development. During this class I learned the impact of building trust and relationships with children early on and the negative impact mistrust, doubt, guilt, inferiority can have on a child throughout their lifetime. The second artifact is one that I recall very fondly. This was the first time I had attended a fundraising event for Passageways. It was through this event that I connected with Millie Cowles. Through Millie and her work with Passageways I was reminded that the majority of the disabilities are acquired later on in life not at birth. Passageways is an organization that through their
Clubhouse model are able to provide rehabilitation services to adults with
disabilities. In the future to further my development in human development I will continue to attend to more networking and fundraising events that support people with disabilities. I also plan to keep abreast on the literature on human development.
