The first stage is trust vs mistrust. Which means that this is the stage where a child will learn if the world is a good or bad place. When I was a baby my mom and dad told me that I loved to be held by anyone that would hold me. I wasn't too much of a crier. This means that I thought that the world is a safe place.

The second stage is autonomy v shame and guilt. I have an older sister that is special needs so when I tried to help take care of her then I accidentally hurt her, so I learned not to help her without any supervised help. I also learned how to walk on my own. That then I learn self-sufficiency.

The third stage initiative vs guilt. In my childhood I actually experienced a lot of guilt. Around this stage I ended up with a younger sister. I didn't like to clean up my toys. One day when my mom was extra tired she tripped on one my toys and yelled at me for like 10 minutes about cleaning up my toys. This showed me that when I don't have my toys cleaned that means that I would get yelled at for a long time and grounded.

The fourth stage is industry vs inferiority. I felt inferior for most of my schooling because I have adhd. I was never good in school, and my parents never helped me in a way that I understood. I was tested in the 2nd grade. After I was tested, my mom didn't want to label me so I didn't get the help that I needed.

Fifth stage is identity vs role confusion. The big question who am I? We all go through this stage. I am pretty sure that I am still in this stage. I don't know exactly where I fit in with society. I know that I am good at taking care of my older sister. Plus, I am good with children as well.

intimacy vs isolation is the 6th stage. In this stage it is important for relationships. I am in isolation part of this stage. I don't feel like that I deserve love. Also feel like I need to live a little before I settle down. I have never really had a real relationship where I experienced safety to be myself. I always thought that I need to be the person they wanted me to be.

The 7th stage is generativity vs stagnation. This stage is in the middle adulthood. I am not in this stage, but I would like to thing that I would be helpful to the next generation to come.

The last and final stage is integrity vs despair. This stage is the stage where elderly people either feel like thy have had a fulfilled life or don't think they have lived enough. When I get to this stage, I hope that I have lived the fullest life that I can. I hope that I achieved all my dreams or at least most of them.
