To me this stage means who you can trust with your life who you make a bond with, or who has hurt you or made you mistrust them.

Growing up I trusted my mom with everything. She was my best friend. I felt safe around her. But she was always gone at work when I needed her the most. Majority of my life I spent at my grandma's house because nobody was at home to watch my sister and me. But even with time spent away from my mom I knew I could always trust her.

This stage to me shows who in my life did support me and did not make me question myself.

While growing up, I was very controlled. I felt that no matter what I did I got in trouble. I then started to rely on others around me to make decisions and I would follow what they did. I had a ton of shame and doubt growing up.

To me this shows why I am the way I am. What causes me to act the way I act and do what I do.

My grandma taught a daycare, and if I wanted to play with others, I needed to make it known to the other children. My grandma was always watching us. If we did one thing wrong, she would make us stand in the corner and look at the wall. This stage is weird, I say I have a lot of both, initiative and guilt. Initiative to want to better myself. And guilt for things I wish I would have done differently.

This is my crisis. I overcame this target with Industry vs. Inferiority.

Growing up around age 12, I was in the fifth grade when I found out my mom and grandma were not going to be here anymore.

This shows what I was taught while growing up. How I learned from others. 

# data[].attributes.body
In my early school years, I become really close with my teachers, but even closer to the school counselor. After the crisis my dad and I also got closer. They all understood what I was going through as a child, and they wanted to help out. Around my middle school years, it became super hard for me. I would say Inferiority would be my side, because it was not just about the school industry but about the older people in my life that helped me get through it.

"As her father drove her to school, he reflected on how much she had changed in just a few short years." My dad and I got a lot closer after the major crisis in our life.

This stage shows how I was turning into a young adult version. It shows some decisions I made. 

# data[].attributes.body
After being excluded from my friends, I had no idea what I wanted to do or be. I was friendly to everyone, but choosing your friends can be very tough. I started getting into softball and started hangout with my softball friends at school. Then, boom.. I had to switch schools (due to moving houses, and my dad getting married) and decide who and what I wanted to be again. I was taking my life from growing up into consideration. I was not a popular student but I was not a geek. I did not know anyone at this school.  Where do I fit in?
Then I found out someone my grandma took care of growing up went to school at my new school. Finding my identity is my side of this stage.

"Although many young children play with their identity—for example, dressing up in different clothes or pretending to be something they are not—children, especially girls, who will later identify as transgender are far more likely to show strong and persistent gender dysphoria early in childhood."

This is my favorite stage; it lets me tell the story of myself from a happy standpoint. Where I found my person who I will be spending the rest of my life with.

# data[].attributes.body
After figuring myself out, I found my person. The guy who is my best friend. The guy who will never let me down. He is my safety. We have been together for almost 3 years. We have a house together. A dog together, and we are getting married this coming November. This stage covers intimacy for me. It lets me show that side of my life.

In this stage it lets you tell what has happened in your life.

I am not far in my life yet, but the giving back to the community can come into play by me being a future teacher. I love children and I would like to help future children. I have always been one to help everyone. This stage covers generativity for me.

In this stage it lets you take a look at your life and your choices and see how your life played out by the choices you made. 

# data[].attributes.body
Everyone has something we want to change about something that happened in our life. Weather it was something that we caused to happen by our choices or something life just threw at us. I have not lived very long. But many decisions I made as a child I would have made differently from my choices of friends when I was younger, to now with my many credit cards- who needs 10 credit cards ... One thing I wish would have change would be for my mom to still be here. Our bond would be so much stronger. Ego Integrity would be my side of this, but also my ego means a lot to me.
