Timeline of My Life: Birth to Twenties

My Background...

I was born on July 26th, 1997 in Napa, California. My family, which has Mexican, Irish, and American heritage, consists of my mom, dad, and two older sisters. Since I was young, I have always have seen my family's financial and health issues; these experiences have instilled in me the power of hard work and health.

 

 

Birth to 10...

     - Trust vs. Mistrust

     - Autonomy vs. Doubt

     - Initiative vs. Guilt

     - Industry vs. Inferiority

 

First Steps: I first walked without support or help when I was about one-year-old. This was my first "big step" towards autonomy and independence. (autonomy vs. doubt)

 

"Toy Stealer!": When I was three-years-old, I went to pre-school and I stole toys from other kids. This showed my egocentrism, because I didn't understand how they would feel if I stole their toys, I only understood that I would be happy with their toys. (preoperational stage)

 

Kindergarten: I began kindergarten when I was five-years-old. Kindergarten was the beginning of my social development. (initiative vs. guilt)

 

 

10 to 20s...

     - Industry vs. Inferiority

     - Ego Identity vs. Role Confusion

Spelling Bee: When I was ten-years-old, I won the fifth-grade spelling bee. This is the first event that I can remember when I began to take pride in academics and other accomplishments.

 

"Soccer Girl": During my sophomore year of high school, when I was fifteen, I played JV Soccer. As I reflect on my experience, I realize I was experimenting with different roles, activities, and behaviors in a quest to find my own identity.

(Ego Identity vs. Role Confusion)

 

Driver's License: When I was 16, I got my Driver's license. This signaled the development of conventional morality because I was obeying the rules of the road because they are laws and rules. (conventional morality)
