Biological perspective: One region of Michaels' brain (amygdala) is more active and faster. That part of his brain that is affected makes him taking bad decisions(not healthy).

Humanistic perspective: Michael parents wanted him to do law studies. He didn't got their agreement to follow music classes, so he didn't got any encouragement.

Behavioral perspective: Michael still uses drug and drinks. He gets arrested because of smashing his car into a store front.

1) All about me

All about me:

Hi I'm Laura Massage.
I'm an exchange student from Belgium and I will stay at Kimberly High School for one year. I'm already graduated in Belgium, so actually I'm here for my English.

I have a big dream since I'm little, becoming a lawyer. Next year I will start university in Brussels at Saint-Louis University. It is a Law School were you can follow your classes in 3 languages(Flemish, French and English). If I want to follow the English class and be sure that I will understand everything, I really need this experience.

Moving one year to the other side of the ocean is not only a great experience but it's always a big challenge. I have to miss my family, friends, my house and so many other things. But I will have the occasion to talk
about my country , so that I can share things and so that we can have an exchange too.

I play the violin and play tennis. I runned twice a half marathon. I LOVE skiing!!
I'm motivated, open-mind and most important I never Never give up!!

I enjoy my stay so far in The United States and I'm excited for my classes and especially for my english.
