In Stage one, infants learn to trust or mistrust their caregivers based on the consistency and reliability of their care, and "if trust predominates, as it should, children develop hope" (Martorell, 2022). This stage was resolved with trust because I have a sense of trust in the world.

Stage two is when toddlers develop a sense of autonomy and self-control while navigating challenges, or they may feel shame and doubt about their abilities. This stage can be tricky to navigate because "unlimited freedom is neither safe nor healthy, said Erikson, shame and doubt also have a necessary place" (Martorell, 2022). This stage was resolved with autonomy because I am self-sufficient and have confidence in myself to solve problems.

In stage three, "preschool children can do–and want to do–more and more" (Martorell, 2022). They explore their environment and assert themselves in play, developing a sense of initiative, or they may experience guilt for their actions. this stage was resolved with initiative because I try new things without fear of failure or criticism.

Stage four consists of children striving to master new skills and tasks, developing a sense of industry, or they may feel inferior and incapable. This stage is important "because during middle childhood, children must learn skills valued in their society" (Martorell, 2022). This stage was resolved with industry because I know how to work hard to master skills and reach goals.

In stage five, adolescents seek to establish a sense of identity, exploring various roles and values, or they may experience confusion and identity crisis. Martorell says that "the effort to make sense of the self...lays the groundwork for coping with the challenges of adult life." This stage was resolved with identity because I am comfortable expressing my individuality and have the virtue of fidelity.

Stage six is when young adults form deep and meaningful relationships and experience intimacy, or they may "suffer from isolation and self-absorption" (Martorell, 2022). This stage is being resolved with intimacy because I am actively establishing close relationships and commitments with others.

In stage seven, middle-aged adults focus on contributing to society and nurturing the next generation, or they may feel stagnant and "personal impoverishment" (Martorell, 2022). This stage has not yet been reached, but I hope to resolve it with generativity by sharing my knowledge/experiences and supporting the growth of students.

Stage eight is when older adults "achieve acceptance of own life, allowing acceptance of death" (Martorell, 2022), or they may experience despair and regret over missed opportunities. This stage has not yet been reached, but I hope to resolve it with integrity by accepting death and feeling proud of my achievements.
