Branfenbrenner's Bioecological Model of Development

We were asked yesterday to reflect and think about our own model of development and I did not include St. Angela's Academy on there. I think about this now and SAA falls in a Microsystem for me. I wonder if people think I am strange having such a connection to my high school, but the way I see it I am very lucky and very blessed to have had that influence in my life. Now what made me think about where St. Angela's would fall into my model of development is because today is the day that I found out they are tearing down my school as the nun's can not find a buyer for the school. The school has been shut down since 2007 and there had only been 4 Sister's remaining there up until November. Now the school is standing eerily empty and that makes my heart sad. So as I sit here at my kitchen table thinking about Branfenbrenner's Theory I wonder would SAA now fall within my Exosystem as well? I believe it would because I have no direct influence whether to keep the school standing. So today is a sad day, such a beautiful building going to waste. SAA was a wonderful school and very much is still a microsystem on a day to day basis for me.
