I developed trust in this period as my mother was a nurturing and loving parent. I may have, however, developed some subconscious mistrust in men, given my father's absence in my younger years.
-
I threw many tantrums when I was younger and like many other children, was stubborn in having my way of things. This is the beginning part of autonomy. I eventually learned to behave myself better and in turn learned autonomy.
-
At this age, I was enrolled into head start and was able to express my imagination through arts and crafts there. I also learned to play nice with other kids, and vividly remember sharing an imaginary friend with one of the girls I met there. At this stage, I succeeded in learning initiative.
-
As a school-aged child, I was involved in many activities to build my teamwork skills, such as Girl Scouts, softball, and cheerleading. Further, I was always on top of getting my homework done and loved learning, excelling in the classroom even at a young age. Because of these experiences, I learned easily to be industrious.
-
So far, I have had little problems with my identity. Of course, at times I have been self conscious, but everyone does. Overall, I am confident in myself and my capabilities. Even if I am not sure exactly what I will do when I grow up, I know I will be able to figure it out as I go along. I have morals that I have developed and plan to keep into the future. For these reasons, I believe I am on the right track to learning my identity.
-
I plan to make genuine, meaningful friendships/relationships in college. I would not like to be closed off from everyone at all times. This means that I will likely learn the trait of intimacy instead of isolation.
-
In the future, I plan to have a productive career in the medical field, get married, and have children. This will mean my life will be ever-changing and I will learn generativity. If I decided not to have children, in that way I would be learning stagnation.
-
If life goes as planned, I will develop integrity! I plan to be hardworking into old age, and will find hobbies and new things to do when I retire. I will be proud of my children and what they have become and be able to accept the thought of death with the realization that my life has been meaningful.
