Autonomy vs shame/doubt
I started to walk. I was pretty good but would occasionally walk into walls. I would always cry after running into walls probably because i felt dumb -
Trust vs. Mistrust
My family and I went to Mexico and I was about 6. At the time i was having really bad worrying issues about my parents, especially my mom. So my parents wanted to do something without my brother and I, so they dropped us at the daycare which was in the middle of the hotel area and wasnt far from them. I freaked out and worried about my mom the whole time until she came and got me. I then learned that i needed to trust that she wouldnt forget about me in a foreign country. -
Initiative vs guilt
First day of school-first grade. I was so upset about not being with my mom but being at school that i cried and threw up that day before going to school. (this picture was from a first day of school but not first grade) -
Intimacy vs isolation
I met my good friend Carson in seventh grade. We have been together since. -
Initiative vs inferiority
The sixth grade awards assembly. I was getting the lowest award that there was and i was so embarrassed. All of my friends were smarter than me and would be getting medals. I hated that thought of them knowing i wasnt that smart so i pretended to be sick so i wouldnt have to go. -
Identity vs role confusion
When i was younger i did dance, soccer, and gymnastics. When i got into high school i stopped all of those and joined the cheer squad. Now ive realized that i dont like cheer as much as i should, and wish i could do gymnastics again. -
Generativity vs stagnation
I have a cousin who is in her 70s. She has cancer really bad and doesnt get around real well. She is in and out of the hospital constantly. I have a huge family and my mom, dad, brother, and myself are really the only ones who help her at all. I try to call her everyday to make sure shes safe and help her when i can, but she doesnt live close at all. Even though its a lot of work to help her with like groceries and things, its always worth it because it makes her happy. -
Integrity vs despair
When i die, i will hopefully be able to remember everything in my life and think that it was a success. For the past 16 years i would consider my life a success so far, so i hope the success continues untill i pass.
