Attached above is my final project for my Honors Human Growth and Development class taken during the fall semester of the 2018-2019 academic year. This project was called the Three Ages Project. It is a combination of three different interviews I conducted from three different age groups. Those being early childhood, late childhood, and adolescents. Alongside this paper, I had to give a presentation the last week of classes discussing what I observed and was able to learn first hand during the interview process.
In the long run, I know this class with benefit me. I want to go into family practice specializing in cardiology. In family practice I will be dealing with individuals of all ages. Knowing all of the developmental milestones in life is a necessity. Before completing this course I knew children went through different stages, however I was unaware of everything that went into it. I am not able to profincently describe the three different stages of childhood as well as different theories such as Kohlberg’s stages of moral development. As my education continues, I hope to get a deeper understanding of human development to assist me within the nursing profession for years to come. Not only did this assignment allow me to learn about different stages and theories, it also gave me the opportunity to speak with different aged individuals. I often do not get to chance to talk to those that are much younger than me, so being able to speak in a way a three year old can understand me helped with, my communication skills.
