I chose this date because it was the beginning of my journey of becoming independent. I was chronologically 16 but felt socially mature than my age. I was living in NJ at the time and got my first job. It made me feel more mature and taught me increased independence/responsibility in managing my time and finances, meeting expectations, and being accountable. In addition, I was interacting with older people at my previous job, so it plays a role in uplifting my identity, and I see myself as one.

I barely eat the suggested amount of vegetables/fruits every day, but I do try keeping up with my weight gain, as I am struggling to maintain. I restrict myself from eating junk food and refuse to drink soda. I would always aim to buy healthy alternatives for cooking essentials like natural, raw, and organic items. I am not a smoker/drinker, and would occasionally do that with my friends when going out. I recently learned about the importance of wearing sunscreen and started using it daily.

Results show preoccupied that could end up being conflicted with emotion, ups and downs, and communication barriers/breakdowns. It could be true, as I did not always grow up affectionate, and it could have resulted from those experiences and reflect on my relationships. I aim to improve my perspectives/mental well-being before proceeding to talk/meet new people and start having serious relationships.

According to 9.3.2, my 'master story' life is all about growth through connections, purpose, and remaining open-minded to experiences. We learn who we are through relationships, environments, etc. I find myself constantly seeking deeper meanings as I mature. In Stage 4 of Individuative-Reflective Faith, I am searching for my own belief rather than accepting what I've been taught, thinking independently, and making sense of spirituality in a way that feels truly personal and authentic to me.

I will expect to be adjusting on my own with looking for employment and starting a living. I could most likely move in with my mom and build from there. Some of the challenges may be not finding a suitable job/living for a while. This applies to 5.1.1, which focuses on social roles and transitions. It will occur at a typical age because it is normal for college students to move back in with their parents. I would cope by doing small things at a time and being patient with the process.

Holland's Artistic, Social, and Investigative (ASI) types describe certain aspects of my personality, but don't capture who I am fully. The (A) emphasizes creativity/emotional expression, but I prefer structure/routine, so it doesn't align. I am interested in psychology (mental health counseling, behavioral support), which aligns with the (SI) of empathy, and supporting people. Per 7.2, it supports how women usually score high on social skills and prefer working conventional hours with people.

Transitioning from HS to college. Big changes from leaving familiar places/family/routines, adapting to new environments, and managing my own responsibilities. At first, I felt overwhelmed, lonely, and uncertain, and I resorted to emotion-focused coping to vent/rant to my family/friends, then my coping was effective, eventually I used meaning-focused coping over time per 10.3 because it helps remind me why I am in college and there are endless opportunities/experiences awaiting me at Gally.
-
Most likely have kids by the 30s or want to travel as much as I want before settling down and starting a family. I think it'll occur at a typical age because women could have kids later than expected. Or, I could take care of my aging parents and have them live with me. It could be emotionally and mentally exhausting, but I have promised my parents I would keep my word. I love them too much. This relates to 5.3.4, where some middle-aged individuals who make up 40% take care of their parents.
-
I chose Super's Maintenance Stage (possibly in my 40s) because, per 7.2, I would care about preserving my role, continuing to build my career development, or refining my goals/teaching or mentoring others. In a psychology career in mental health counseling or behavioral support, I hope to remain confident/secure after many years of working in a position and have the ability to maintain and contribute my meaningful work. Maybe my socialness would positively increase as I am able to teach mentors.

Based on current life experience/quiz results, it is generally strong with familiar tasks recalls, but still struggles under pressure. Capacity will decline when IADL of taking medications/supplements becomes challenging to remember keep up with a certain number/types of doses on schedule. Per 4.2.4 4.2.3 in event-based prospective memory, could compensate for decline by daily phone alarms/reminders, close family members assist with text reminders, and can benefit from meal events.
-
My current lifestyle does not pose any risk, but it is generally recommended for younger people to start exercising to avoid developing any further risks like obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, Alzheimer's/Dementia, and osteoporosis (common for women in their 50s). Women live longer but develop many chronic health issues than men do. My current regimen includes dieting or closely monitoring what I eat, which can influence longevity. Diet is as important as exercise.

Jasmine Castillo, a beloved daughter devoted advocate/psychologist, who was only 55 years old, passed away on 8/13/2080. Born on 8/5/2003 in Bronx, NY, to her Hispanic-loving family, she experienced love deeply unconditionally, marrying once having 2+ kids, instilling strong values of emotional intelligence, resilience, spiritual growth. In her final moments reflected ego integrity, rather than despair/regrets, as she looked back on a life filled with connection, growth, meaning.
