Trust vs. Mistrust has a vast impact on an individuals life due to the fact that it has the potential to effect every relationship the individual has in the future. My father has worked overnight for as long as I can remember meaning he often ate after work between the hours of three and five in the morning. I’m told that without fail every time he sat down to eat no matter what time I would wake up crying for a bottle. Therefore every night my dad would have to come and feed me my bottle before eating his food. Due to this I believe I resolved Trust vs. Mistrust with Trust because my needs were always met even if my dads food was getting cold. This belief is also proven by the quote “Baby develops sense of whether world is good and safe place” because was not concerned over if my needs would be met or if I was safe.

This stage runs off of the idea that we can make decisions for ourselves and are beginning to have our own opinions rather than just looking to our parents to make all our choices for us. According to our textbook “ If you feel that others have your back, you were likely to try new things And thus develop new skills. By contrast, if you feel alone and uncertain, you can still develop autonomy, but it is more difficult.” This quote expresses how the stage is built off of each other however you don’t always gain the scale just because you have the previous one. For me I was extremely picky as a toddler and I didn’t like trying new things which commonly made it so that my parents were making choices for me or forcing me to do things that I didn’t want to do for my safety or health. Which I believe caused me to resolve autonomy versus shame and doubt with shame and doubt.

This stage is about learning What things that we do are socially acceptable and what things that we do aren’t. As said in the text book “ preschool children want to do more and more. At the same time, they are learning that some things they want to do meet social approval and others do not” personally at this age I was extremely hyper. I was constantly fidgeting, bouncing my legs, jumping up and down, daydreaming, or talking. As a result I was often getting reminded or getting in trouble for not listening or not sitting still. which leads me to believe that I resolved initiative versus guilt with guilt.

During this stage children begin to understand the skills that others are wanting from them as well as begin to create relationships with others.  When looking at myself I was interested in how as a child I would refuse to work alongside others as a team and would often do all of the work on my own or request to do work independently by the teacher as well as I would refused to participate in class discussions. Which leads me to believe that I resolved industry versus inferiority with inferiority because as stated in the textbook  “children must learn skills valued by their society” and I was not yet developing many of these crucial skills such as teamwork.

The stage is about an individual discovering who they are as a person and what they care about. As it said in the textbook “ Adolescence must determine sense of self or experience confusion about roles” For me I developed many of my core values through participating in band. Some of these values include importance of time management, discipline, practice and importance of patients. Therefore for me I believe I resolved identity versus confusion with identity.

This stage is about the relationships we hold with others and how consistently we are able to maintain relationships and closeness with people. As said in the textbook “ Person seeks to make commitments to others or may suffer from isolation or self-absorption.” In the future I believe I will develop intimacy due to the close relationships I have been able to maintain previously with friends and family that I hope to maintain moving forward.

This stage is about feeling the need to have an impact on the world around you and wanting to impact individuals who are younger than you in a positive way so that they follow in your footsteps. As it said in the textbook “ Mature adult is concerned with establishing and guiding the next generation or else feels personal impoverishment.” I imagine I will resolve The stage with generativity due to the fact that I’m planning on becoming a elementary school teacher therefore I will be continuously guiding the new generation and teaching them need to know information.

This stage is about an individual looking back on their life and being grateful that they accomplished everything they wanted to we’re looking back and regretting that they didn’t put more energy into doing what they wanted to. As the textbook said “ Elderly people allow acceptance of own life, Allowing acceptance of death, Or else despair over inability to relive life.” When looking at myself I believe I will resolve integrity versus despair with integrity due to the fact that I am working towards my goals of becoming a teacher attending college and have participated in the activities I wanted to throughout schooling.
