As a student, I will make a timeline of my own development. I will Identify 2 "life events" that are "significant" in reflecting and/or shaping the person I have been, are, and continue to become.

Additionally, I will consider the time and environmental dimensions of the unique events at the 1) micro level (at what age, stage of development, and in what settings-natural and physical environments-did the events take place) and 2) mezzo/macro level (during what year did the events take place, and what was going on in "the larger society" that may have had an impact on my experiences).
