This theory by Piaget's reminds me of my seven year old cousin. Watching the videos of the children trying to fix the blocks from shortest to tallest reminded me of one time when we were helping my uncle build a bookcase. There were all different types and lengths of screws and she never gave the right one. She always gave the second to longest or shortest. I really thought she was kidding, and she got upset that me and my uncle were laughing.
I didn't even think of this again until watching that video. I honestly didn't even know this happened to other kids. It's so crazy how much the generations have changed over time. I might only be 18, but the times have truly changed between my generation from generations now. I'm amazed by how hard simple tasks when I was little are so hard now to kids.

The New Beginning
2014 was a very eventful year for me. This was the year I graduated high school, stopped cheering, started college, and started my first job. Graduating high school was a huge event in my life, and it was even sweeter graduating with high honors. All of those countless sleepless nights of studying were all worth it in the end.
I stopped cheering last year, and it was one of the most bittersweet moments of my life. I cheered varsity competition all four years of high school. I loved this sport so much, and it made me the outgoing and happy person I am today. I had gallbladder surgery last year (which isn't as bad as people make it seem) and a week later I was competing and tumbling like it was nothing (with the help of strong pain meds of course). Cheering constantly made me tired at school, and it made long nights a little more longer, but I wouldn't have traded those four seasons for the world.
I started working my first job right after my last cheerleading season. I work at Duffy's deli, and it is honestly a blessing. I never imagined loving a job and the people as much as I do, but it wasn't always such a great thing. I believe it is one of the hardest part time jobs around, but after getting the hang of everything, it is one of the best places to work.
Starting college was a big thing for me last year, and I love the freedom. It is such a different scenario than high school, but in a good way. I also ended up with all A's (somehow).
2014 was great, but hopefully 2015 is even better.
