I would rather have short- term memory than long-term memory
because if something bad happened to you whether it is personal or not then
that is stuck with you for life, you will never forget that situation, it is
there forever. I would rather forget about the bad things in the past rather
than remember it for a life time. That if a memory that either you want or you
don’t want to remember, some people even suffer because of some bad memories
during their life. Anyways back to this assignment, I feel short-term memory is
very important in life because even with short-term memory you can still remember things like Roy G Biv for the rainbow (Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, and Violet).

Memory
Sometimes they say our memory can deceive us and sometimes it does I heard, sometimes we hear a story and then it gets repeated only different detail. Brian Williams is branded a liar, he tells a different story and that is why he's a liar. He says how memory can change over time. you have all these people saying he is a liar and how he is convicted of false memory. Everyone has misremembering events happen in their lives, doesn't make you an absolute liar, you are just remembering what you have heard. If a person tells you a story and you repeat it then you are telling another person so according to Brian Williams they think he is lying because he keeps telling a different story so technically it is unfair, they said he kept telling the stories differently many times. Many people say things that are not true to be honest with you, how could Brian Williams be a liar if he is just telling you what he has heard from other people, does that make them a liar to? This is like playing the telephone game where you whisper ear to ear the same story and see how it turns out in the end. Lots of people do this around the world because we all tell stories and it gets around pretty easily. A witness could remember a car crashing, smashing, hitting, while a person in the car would remember just a car crash, others outside of the crash remember different things that others have missed, like if a guy remembered two cars hitting but the other guy looked away at the time so he didn't see it.

task or skill
I have taught my son, Josiah, how to crawl just recently, I usually put an object in front of him and he normally started to get to the object. I'll put a remote control in front of him or a raddle and he will start to kick his legs and then he scoots by pushing his legs to move his body to reach the object. I went on the internet to find how to get babies to crawl and it gave me ideas. I followed them ideas as I just told you on how to have your baby crawl. He is not getting the hang of it, he is learning more quickly.

Eliza the online therapist is not helping, she doesn’t
follow questions I ask, she asked me if I had any psychological problems, I said
no and she asked me again like I had psychological problems. Then she asks why I
repeat myself well she asked a yes or no question you will repeat yourself. I don’t
believe this is reliable, waste of time, she repeats questions and stuff. I asked
her how she was and she said “perhaps in your fantasies I am”, to me that’s creepy.
As you see she don’t give you what you really want to know.

I hope to gain knowledge and learn from you the best I can
so I can have a good education. I am interested in being a nurse so I would
like to learn the study of psychology because it is the study of the human mind
and how it works. I would like to experience you teaching me what you know and
all you know. I would like to pass and move on to college. I am hoping to gain
better behavior and better knowledge. If I am going to be a nurse then I need
as much help and knowledge as possible. Nursing is a great career, it saves
many lives, you have to be able to work with people and their behaviors and that’s
what nursing seems to be about because you have to help others and interact
with them, study them, figure out what they do and what makes them do it. Understand
the environment you live in, what surrounds you. My goal is for you to teach me
the behaviors of others, human mind, working with people. The goal I am
reaching is for you to teach, me to learn and bring what I know to my future
job as a nurse.
