Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs

Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs

-Biological and Physiological needs-

I come home to a warm house everyday, with food on the table. I sleep in my own bedroom with no worries. But some people don’t have that, so I’m planning on doing the Homeless Experian. So I can feel how it is to sleep in a cardboard box and call that my shelter.

-Safety needs-

I have locks everywhere, on my car, my house, even on my bedroom door. I feel safe in my house and in the area I live in. Safety is a big deal to me, so when I heard that my best friend was going to a college with a bad reputation for muggings, I took her to Joe’s Amy Navy Surplus and got her some Pepper spray. I also have one and when I have it on my person I feel safer because I no longer feel defenseless.

-Belongingness and Love needs-

I am really close with my family, and true friends with my older sister. My boy friend and I have been going out for a year and almost 9 months now and it’s a very healthy relationship, he said the only thing he doesn’t like about me is that I like honey on my chicken nuggets.   

-Esteem needs-

I have done a lot of things that I am very proud of. I was able to over come my fear and take on the challenge of being a flight commander of my own flight at the GLR-2009-Summer Encampment. I was terrified but by the time I got to know my cadets and get moving, by the end we got Honor Flight.  I am also a Cadet Senior Master Sergeant in my Squadron so I have responsibility and status to keep intact.

-Self-actualization-

I have not achieved this yet but I know when it is going to happen. When I get up on that stage and get my college diploma then get a job in something in my major like interpreting or being a psychologist. Also when I get married and have kids can I really say I know who I am. But I will keep changing and so really I can’t say I know who I am till I’m done living.
