I am twenty-six years old and I am in the young adulthood stage of life. As a young adult I have had to deal with several big issues/decisions. One difficult decision that I have had to make is learning to let go of people. The second difficult decision I have had to make is going back to school. I have had the difficult decision of letting those whom I care about go for the safety of my family. My grandmother had recently found out that she had cancer. My aunt had been giving us problems for awhile but she completley disrespected me, my mother, and my grandmother. We had our words. So I was left with the difficult decision to not associate with her or let her around my family. Over the summer my best friend had forced me to let her go. She was a sister to me but I could no longer deal with her. She tried to get me to lie to her husband about her cheating on her husband in my house. Being raised on good morals I could not do it. Now it's like our relationship never existed. I let her and her family go because I did not want my kids raised around someone like that. Another hard decision was going back to college to earn a degree. I have been dealing with this issue since I have graduated high school. I wanted to go to college, but there were a few things setting me back. I have bad anxiety being around a lot of people. When I went to orientation at Western Univerity, I was completely petrified and walked out. I applied a couple years later to another college but soon found out I was pregnant with my first child. So I didn't attend. Now I have two little ones but I had to make the dicision to go back to school. It is difficult raising to kids having a dead end job. I am not saying that it is easy going tosc... ... middle of paper ... ...s favorite sport) since his grandfathers death. A big decision he has made was getting his license. He loves to drive around town, pick up girls, and just do his own thing. He even took over his grandfathers truck. He told me that he loves to come and go as he pleases. He feels more like an adult now that he has got his drivers license. As we age, we are forced to make big decisions and deal with difficult issues. The issues of each generation are similar because everyone makes big decisions and deals with difficult issues. They are different because each generation has diffenrent more complex issues and how they are dealt with. In adolescence, we start dealing with issues and decisions. In young adulthood, people start to act on moral and good judgement. In middle adulthood, most people know what they want and start developing more health problems.
It seems to be that the previous generation always picks on the new one. It’s something that’s been going on for decades, with the cry of “When I was your age!” at the tip of every adult’s tongue when they see the slightest bit of laziness or incompetence. In reality, each new generation brings waves of progress and innovation, built on top of the old. In this respect, it’s because every generation has the duty to do better than the last. Each generation needs to be bigger, greater, and bolder but this proves to be a challenge after countless centuries of people accomplishing the very same task. However, this problem can be simply solved by breaking the components down into the individual level. People just need to stay true to themselves and the rest will follow. Of course as Andrew Solomon 's Son and Lelie Bell’s Hard to Get demonstrate, creating an identity is much easier said than done. People have an obligation to be better than the previous generation and accomplish this by discovering who they are and then staying true to themselves.
Stages of Life in My Antonia In the past, critics have demoralized and brutalized every writer they could get their pen on. This is seen from criticisms of Henry Adams to William Butler Yeats. These critics critique everything about the writer and his/her works. For instance, many critics criticize Willa Cather's novel, My Antonia. Their criticisms lie on the basis that My Antonia is based on cyclical themes with no structure holding each of My Antonia's books.
In conclusion, I realized that my future depended on what I was willing and able, to make of it. I had to make the decision to put my fears behind me and move forward with the opportunities that would be available to me after I earned a college degree. I want to work in a career field that I went to school for and earned a degree for, not to just work at an everyday job, being overworked, under paid and unappreciated. I look forward to the day of graduation when I can be an encouragement to others experiencing these same issues and an inspiration to my children.
During my transition from childhood to adulthood, I have learned and accomplish many things within my education, community, and family. My transition from childhood to adulthood education made me come into reality that everything can’t be done for you and that you have to stay more focused and organized if you want to be somewhere five to ten years from now. My growth in the things that I do in my community such as church and basketball summer leagues made me realize that it is all right to participate and help out for the positive things in my community. In my family, my transition from childhood to adulthood help me to become a more mature and knowledgeable person.
These challenges for older students who are used to being the decision makers, rising children, have succeeded at their jobs confronting these changes can cause great stress. Confronting challenges is much different when someone else in in control. The reward in the end is to reach your goals, and make your dreams come true, whether you are looking to advance your career, make a career move to a new adventure, further your knowledge, or simply to stay young at heart. Returning to college as an older student is challenging.
I was just getting back from an extremely fun vacation with my family when this all started. I was close to my friend’s aunt, Brenda. I’ve known her for about 6 years. We have all made great memories together. However, everything changed, for the worse. I’m not sure what inspired her hate for me, but it happened fast. I was confused and distraught about the situation. It only became worse when my friend told me Brenda was hateful towards me. Also, Brenda was calling me particularly offensive names. This only made me feel worse. Regrettably, the situation was getting worse, and I wasn’t doing anything about it, until now. Now, I was courageous and brave. I decided to fight against the pain instead of running away. I know myself, and I know I’m not a horrible person because one person hates me. I tell myself what she says doesn’t matter and isn’t true. To completely overcome this situation, I took matters into my hands. I cut her out of my life. This took a plethora of bravery. I was terrified to do it, but I did. Gratefully, it made me feel like my own hero. Now, it’s simply a
I never would have thought I would go back to school. Especially at my age. Not that age should be a factor in doing anything. I guess I did not have enough self-confidence in myself. It could have been the environment I grew up in. One reason I had decided to go back was to help others. Another reason I enrolled in college was to gain more knowledge. And the third reason I enrolled was to have a better future. But one day, I woke up and made a promise to myself that I would never be in an abusive relationship. Well life doesn’t always go the way we plan it to go.
Every person belongs to a generation: you associate yourselves with a particular set of people usually based on age such as “Baby Boomers” from 1946 to 1964, “Generation X” from 1965 to 1979, and “Millennials” from 1980 to 2000, (Smola, 364). Parents’ generations differ from their children, and sometimes within their significant other. My parents, separated by two years, are both considered “Baby Boomers”, and my sister and I, also separated by two years are both considered “Millennials”. “Generation X” separates our generations, and as you can assume there are many differences between the two: “Baby Boomers” experienced the immense development of the economy and education (Kupperschmidt, 4).
Going back to college after you have been out of school for quite a few years, had three children, been married, and divorced is a lot harder than I ever imagined. It takes hard work, dedication, and missing out on the little things previously taken for granted. I miss taking naps the most. I believe if you can tough it out through the worst days, you can finish school and provide a better life for your children and yourself. You need a lot of willpower and a large sense of humor.
The new generations do not want to always have a little family or a job. They want to live life their way with their own rules. The less experienced generations will sometimes rise above the older wiser ones. Also, many
For my self-assessment, I chose to discuss the Middle Childhood, Adolescence, and Young Adulthood life stages. The theories of human behavior that will be discussed are Erikson’s Psychosocial theory, Kohlberg’s theory of moral reasoning, and Albert Bandura’s social learning theory. I chose these life stages because they are the stages where I have experienced many events that have shaped me into the person I am today. There are a number of factors that have played a role in my development over a period of time and I will discuss them throughout my paper.
Eric Erikson believed that there are eight different social stages an individual must go through as they mature. Each of these stages involves a positive characteristic and a negative one. Your future all depends on these characteristics. So to what degree can Erikson’s psychosocial stages of development truly affect us? All I know is that the moment my life changed was the day I saved a man’s life. This moment in my life falls under the 5th stage of Eriksons theories of psychological development. It is at this stage where I was able to develop a “sense of self and personal identity”. I was following Eriksons eight different social stages my whole life and I didn’t even know it; and by the end of it, I was able to find “a reintegrated sense of self, of what one wants to do or be”. (Bee, 1992)
Lifespan development is essential, as it is the changes that happen to us throughout a person’s lifespan. Our development occurs at ages stages where we develop from infancy till death. This essay will contain my life story to display the domains in 5 age stages in my lifespan development. The domains I will be exploring is in this essay is physical, emotional, cognitive, social, cultural and moral domain. The influence of biological and environmental play a significant role in my development. Development is influenced by nature or nurture and its affect will occur throughout lifespan. The changes that occur during development have stage. Each theorists has stages of development where they display the changes. This essay will explore my development that will support theorist such as Erikson, Vygotsky, Berk, Piaget and other theorist. The age stages of prenatal will display physical and emotional domain, Infancy (0-2) will portray social and emotional domain, young children (2-6) will show cognitive and social domain, middle childhood (6-12) will display socio-cultural and moral domain and adolescence will portray nature vs. nurture and cultural domain. Development is crucial for a healthy wellbeing. As a physiotherapist it is significant to understand development in age stages, as it will aid knowing how young children will react compared to an adolescence who is more development mentally, emotionally, physically, socially and culturally.
Amidst the “hot pies and potato-chips”, “innocent monsters” and “resurgent lions”, Dawe effectively illustrates Victorian popular culture in the poem “Life-cycle”. Generally speaking, the subject matter is associated with Victorian lifestyle, notwithstanding the prevalent reference specifically to AFL football. Humour and good intentions counterbalance sentiments of condescending ridicule. Dawe flippantly suggests that “the tides of life will be the tides of the home-team’s fortunes”. Whilst some may be inclined to assume that Dawe is merely mocking a preoccupied Victorian society, it is worth mentioning that his criticisms are far from hostile. In fact, it would be fair to say that they are detailed with an affectionate and benevolent disposition.
The interests ,food, habits ,slang , entertainment and also the way of thinking of the younger generation differs from the older generation. These changes are indicative of progress, Unfortunately, The older generation find it hard to accept these changes that make the gap wider. They differs in the way of dressing for example, the younger generation wear jeans and stay up to date in their style unlike the older generation .As the older generation has their own style according to their age. So the older generation might find these outfit inappropriate. Also the difference in slang and language fr...
