Activity #3

1. Write your own story life using the stages of psychosocial development as framework.

Stage 1: Trust vs. Mistrust

We must create essential trust during our first 18 months since we are uncertain
about the world in which we discover ourselves. When I was at this stage, according to my
mother, all of my actions depended on them, and if they failed to meet my needs, I may conclude
that I could not rely on them. Failure in stage one leads to fear, mistrust, suspicion, anxiety, and,
eventually, the perception that the world is unpredictable. We may feel worried because we
believe we have little control or influence over our surroundings.

Stage 2: Autonomy vs. Shame and Doubt

Parents should expect and encourage their children to push boundaries throughout
stage two, gently stretching them while avoiding condemnation when they fail. The sense of
security and confidence that results is critical for our advancement in later stages, and it
contributes to the virtue of will. According to my parents, as a firstborn child, they gave their full
attention and support to me and told me that I was a hyper kid back then.

Stage 3: Initiative vs. Guilt

When the tension between initiative and guilt arises at this stage of our psychosocial
development, we learn to assert ourselves and typically begin to direct play and social
relationships. According to my mother, she will no longer accompany me inside the classroom
during pre-school, unlike other kids who tend to cry if they don’t see their mother inside the
classroom.

Stage 4: Industry vs. Inferiority

Teachers are critical to our continuing development at this point. Simultaneously, peer
groups and social interactions are becoming increasingly important in developing our self-
esteem, and we experience feelings of pride when we complete tasks.
When I was in grade one, I was very excited because I would be spending my whole day
in school, and at the same time, I found new friends. My parents recalled that I was good in

school, and during recognition, I was so happy to receive a necklace from my father as a reward
for being an honor student in the class.

Stage 5: Identity vs. Role Confusion

In stage five, new opportunities, experiences, and physical and mental changes are
critical to our sense of self and significantly impact our adult years. According to my high school
friends, I was a true friend because every time they needed help, I was always willing to help
them without hesitation and expecting any return. It is my happiness to help those people in
need.

Stage 6: Intimacy vs. Isolation

At this stage, we are driven to explore personal relationships and our desire to form
intimate relationships as young adults. My friends recalled that I was secretive when it came to
my relationship with someone else. I tend to keep it private, so they wonder if I have already
been in love or am currently dating or in a relationship. I was laughing at their responses because
I am not a showy person, and for me, there is no need to tell the whole world about your status.
