4. How have the decisions of your parents affected your life?
5. How have your experiences shaped your development/life?

How has your personality played a part in your life experiences?

• How do you think it will play out in the future?
• The decisions of parents affected my life because it was instilled in me that I needed to go to college. Even though at the time I was not ready for college. I felt pressured to make my parents happy. I completed a year, and then I ended up dropping out and failing a couple of classes for not properly withdrawing. 
• After I quit college I worked and hung out with my friends. I did not have any responsibilities. Eventually I became pregnant with my daughter. I had to learn to work and provide for her. 
• My personality has helped me throughout my life because I have always been outgoing. I have been able to meet people and develop friendships that have motivated and encouraged me to work harder to purse my goals.
• I think in the future I will need to prioritize more when it comes to work and school, because if I do not it will just prolong the time for me to accomplish my goals. I have the support of my friends and family but ultimately it is up to me to stay focused and determined to work hard to obtain my future goals. 
• Furthermore, when writing this section, think about what you have learned about human development through this course including the theories that pertain to this time of development. Below students will find a list of questions to consider while writing each developmental period and a chart showing some of the theorists and the area of development in which they focused. Keep in mind that more than one theorist or theory may be applicable to a particular time period and the instructor requires students to apply at least three theories to each stage of life.
