Remembering An Event

Memories are known as episodic memories. these memories can be information that is being stored or images that are being stored depending of when, where and what is being retrieved. There is a brain structure called the hippocampus that creates the memories that manages the memories into the structures. In order to create the memories the hippocampus connected to the region of the cerebral cortex through several regions that receive the sensory information. The memory records those experiences into the brain they can be short term or long term memories. All types of memories can be based on the connections within the neural circuits of each memory system. The weakness or strength of the memory usually depends on how the memory was formulated.

sports, music, and other organizations). However, my senior year, a combination of stress and family turmoil pushed me into a place I’d never been before. I didn’t know how to handle my emotions and my whole life seemed to start falling apart, but I didn’t know how to fix it and pick up the pieces. I constantly felt overwhelmed by everything. I was easily discouraged by difficult assignments, I had no self-confidence, and I had no will to be social or be involved in everything I once cared so much about. I slowly isolated myself as much as I could, and all of my friends slowly left me alone. The worst feeling I’ve ever had was that I wanted to kill myself. I thought about suicide a lot, and like Eric, I wanted to have a successful suicide. I even almost attempted it once, but I’m too scared of pain. It got to the point to where I’d try to think of all the painless ways one could go, but even then there were uncertainties with each way I contemplated how to die. Much like Eric, here were weeks on end, where all I could think of was how much I wanted to do was be dead and gone from the world. I saw no point in anything I did, what little motivation I had, dissipated away and I was just so unhappy. I don’t remember going more than a day without crying at some point, because I just felt like life was so terrible. I was always the

Memory is a set of cognitive processes that allow us to remember past information (retrospective memory) and future obligations (prospective memory) so we can navigate our lives. The strength of our memory can be influenced by the connections we make through different cognitive faculties as well as by the amount of time we spend devoting to learning specific material across different points in time. New memories are created every time we remember specific event, which results in retrospective memories changing over time. Memory recall can be affected retrospectively such as seeing increased recall in the presence of contextual cues or false recall of information following leading questions. Memory also includes the process

In retrospect, I believe that when you move somewhere, you have to be open-minded about the many differences that you’ll encounter cultural and systematically. And I think one of the ways you become more open-minded is by persevering. All it takes is believing in yourself, that you’re capable of doing anything despite the stereotypes and adversities that may present in your

When we are reading a book, if we always read the same easy book that we read since we are the kindergartens, we wouldn’t learn new things. We would just read the same ten page over and over again, without knowing anything new. Although I was born in another country, the United States is the place I feel like home. When I came here (five years ago), I was a kind of a person, who has no perseverance or determination at all, and I was so negative, plus, I thought that I was the best in the world (which is not true). But all of that started to change suddenly when I get to know more about this country. Therefore, in here, I learned lots of new lessons, especially the lessons about life. So now, I am a persistent person, I believed, who won’t give

I felt really tired of life, I just wanted to give up. After surviving my first also last time suicide, I started reaching out to people, one by one and day by day. Having the support from the people who truly understand me make me feel "safe". I started to join more club and activities to cut myself of any negative thought. Now, I am the Vice President for International Student Association and Vice President for Student Senate. I am currently enrolled in Interior Design and Health Science program with the hop that I can use my knowledge to help

Different people have different views regarding moving foreign country, but for me it was a big life time crisis. When I decided to relocating in USA, I used to think many benefits like affordable living cost, good community, nice high pay job regardless of your skills, and stress free in my life. And also I never deeply thought about financial situation. Once I came to USA, almost every bad thing took place to happen to me in daily basis. I had no ideas how to drive a car, place, people, food, environment, and was away from my family and friends. Soundlessly, stresses and challenges started to kill me. Finally, stress became a good friend and I realized that it’s a part of the life.

I thought that I could make new friends, but that year was most likely the worst of all years of my educational life. My friend Jayme left to another school, so we rarely talked. My mother married, and that was a very big step for me. I had to move Homes and live with my step-father and his mother. I felt like life became an endless abyss. My parents argued, threatening to divorce each other. because of financial issues and residence issues. I had alot of stress at school. I was also very lonely because I had no friends. Then one day, my mother was yelling at me because she thought that I didnt study enough for a test. She called me unpleasant names and told me to get out of the car. When I arrived to my english class, I broke down crying. The teacher decident to send em to the office, and then they called the school phsychologist. Talkig to the phsychologist felt like a releif. I finaly release all the feelings that a had been holing back for a very long time. While telling her everything, i told her that had two previous suicide attempts beforehand to get away fromm all of the arguements, lonelyness and th fact that i thought that my parents hated me. After hearing all of what i had to say, she decided to call a PET team to evaluate me. They would decide if i should be sent to a mental hospital so i wouldnt try to harm myself that night. The ended up sendimg me to the hopitital for about three weeks, and diagnosed me with major drepressive dissorder and

Those moment are life changing because they can cause a positive or negative influence in their life. From a Starting Smart article is, “Children in the first months and the years of life to ensure they provide the kinds of experiences that support optimal development.” (Theresa Hawley). Which is stating that the environment that they experienced going through is not only affecting how and what they’ll decide doing but also affects why, it will be because maybe they saw the unseeable or was in a accident that is how they are shaped. Another thing that the brain of a child of develop when at a life changing moment is found by an article from the University of Maine is, “experience plays a crucial role in “wiring” a young child’s brain. Brain development does not stop after early childhood, but it is the foundation upon which the brain continues developing” (Judith Graham). Which Graham explains that the child after a “life changing moment is going to repond a signal in their body that tells them to remember or recognize a sense triggering the brain, like how a newborn child smelling it’s mother and after that it’s unforgettable in the brain even if you don't remember

When I first come to the United States and start my high school here, everything was very difficult to me because I did not understand what my teachers and my classmates were saying. I used to set and just saw them talking,

It all started in middle school, I don’t know why but I was a target for bullying. In 6th grade I developed panic attacks, in 7th grade I started self-harming because it all had become too much, but in 8th grade was when I had had enough and I ended up in the mental ward from trying to commit suicide. I ended up in the mental ward 3 times

On the first period of the first school day, an American teacher came talked to us, welcomed us, and introduced us to the school. But it was so difficult to understand what he says, he spoke so rapidly and in an accent that I listened only while watching movie. From this moment I knew I?m in a different place than my previous school. The time for laziness, immaturity is done. With also listening to couple of student talking similarly to him, and easily replying

At the age of 7 my brother died, as a young girl I wasn't able to fully understand this, soon I became depress, for four years, I didn't want to interact with other people or play around at the park. I fell into a dark place. Soon, once I became a teenager, I followed the influence, smoking and drinking and doing what other teenagers shouldn't. At times I tried to commit suicide. At

The lessons about perception that are derived from this case would be located in stage three, “storage and retention” in event memory. The storage and retention phase is where long term memory takes place. “Long-term memory is made up of three compartments (or wings) containing compartments of information about events, semantic materials, and people” Kreitner & Kinicki (2013). Event memory is a compartment of storage and retention. These are memories that recall appropriate actions in well-known and familiar settings including job interviews. .in the case study the entire setting was over job interviewing. As stated in the text “the weakness question represents the most stressful one posed during interviews” Kreitner & Kinicki (2013). As potential

There are moments in every person's formative years that shape who they are as a person. These experiences can manifest as an epiphany, or a gradual realization. Decisions made over the course of one's life fundamentally affect their goals and paths in life. I made one of those choices the summer before 5th grade. My young self made the choice to follow her dreams.
