Infancy - 18 months
Trust V.S Mistrust is the stage in Erikson's theory where infants either learn to trust those who care for them or feel a sense of mistrust if those around them are not meeting their needs.
I was able to go through this stage and learn trust and secure attachment as my mother and father nurtured me and met my needs when I showed them. On page 151 the book states that secure attachment 'is developed through trust', so it is clear that my mother was able to provide that type of attachment for me.

18 months - 3 years
In this stage children develop a greater sense of independence and often want to do tasks on their own, however, if parents do not let their children learn to do some of these things on either own it can lead to feelings of shame and doubt as they are used to adults completing tasks for them.
The book defines this stage one in which 'children achieve a balance between determination and control by others' (156). I believe that shame/doubt was the outcome for me in this stage because, while I was well cared for, I was not able to try things on my own, even when I wanted to. Those around me would do it for me. Therefore, I was not able to gain that sense of independence early in childhood and experienced more of the 'control by others' that was mentioned in the text.

3 years - 5 years
In this stage children learn how to involve themselves in games and activities without feeling a sense of guilt. If this is not achieved children will experience feelings of guilt and apprehension.
The book even defines this stage as 'child develops initiative when trying new activities'.  I believe that Initiative was the outcome for me in the 3rd stage of development as I was always involving myself in games with other children and helping to create new games.

5 years - 11 years
In this stage children are going through elementary school and are beginning to feel a sense of accomplishment about some of their achievements as well as being able to form friendships with their peers.
The book points out that without this feeling of accomplishment, young teens might experience low self esteem (276). I believe that Industry was the outcome of this stage because I was able to feel a sense of accomplishment through the sports that I was involved in. My parents supported and encouraged me during the times I was playing sports even if our team was doing badly. Because of their support I felt accomplished. Not only was I able to feel a sense of accomplishment but I was also able to make friends with those around me without a lot of difficulty.

12 years - 18 years
In this stage children are forming their own beliefs, interests, morals, and priorities that make them who they are and give them a sense of identity. If this is not achieved, these children moving into young adulthood may experience feelings of confusion regarding their goals.
The book highlights three main areas; choice of occupation, adoption of values, and sexual identity. I believe that Identity was the outcome of this stage because I was able to experiment with different hobbies and peer groups who had different priorities and goals. As I tried out these different hobbies and groups I was able to narrow down my interests and morals by the time I exited this stage.

18 years - 40 years
In this stage young adults are seeking to find a long term relationship with someone. If this is not achieved people will experience isolation, which could be detrimental for the next stages of development.
I believe that I will go through this stage and experience intimacy since the book defines this stage as young adults looking to make commitments to another (13) and I plan to have been settled down before 40 and did fairly well in my other stages.

40 years - 65 years
In this stage adults learn to be nurturing and generous as they care for their families. If someone was unsuccessful in the previous stage, this stage may be difficult as well.
Since the book defines stage as one in which adults seek to guide the next generation, and since  I plan to be settled down with children within the Intimacy vs. Isolation stage, I believe generativity will be the outcome for this stage for me.

65 years - death
In this stage adults reflect on life and determine if they are happy with the overall outcome. This stage is also where most people may experience the acceptance of death.
I see no reason why the outcome of this stage should not fit the books definition of 'acceptance of own life' if my other stages are met well like they should be. I believe that I will be fond of my life and my accomplishments at this stage and will be happy to reminisce.
