    Life Review Journal Entry:

    Throughout my life time I have experienced many different developmental events

    that have led me to be where/who I am today. Looking back and reflecting on my 89

    years of life, I am grateful and appreciative of the developmental dilemmas I had to

    experience in order to become the version of myself I was meant to be. If given the

    chance to go back and change any of the events that affected my story line, I would

    respectively decline the offer. Now I am very old and my memory is not as crisp as it

    used to be but from what I can recall there were three defining developmental events in

    my life that transformed me into the person I am right now. Those three separate

    developmental events occurred during my childhood, one during my adolescent years

    and one during my adulthood. The first encounter that shaped was in my early

    childhood years when I had very authoritarian parents. My parents were high in demand

    but low in responsiveness, they were extremely strict on me from a very young age but

    did not express affection or communicate any congratulations to me. This made me

    scared of them, I was always obedient due to this but I was not very happy, this later

    resulted in me rebelling as soon as I was out of their control. My second life altering

    encounter was when I began to develop an identity, where I questioned who I was,

    where I was, what the meaning of life was, what did I want, where was I going, and

    what’s important to me. I had a very “Moratorium” experience as a adolescent, I had a

    temporary pause in identity development that allowed me to explore the alternatives that

    were available. I had every intent of going to school to become a nurse but as I realize

    this may not be the correct path for me I took a year off and moved to North Carolina
    with my aunt and uncle and there I discovered, that in fact, nursing was not the path I

    was destined for and switched to social work. The final developmental event was in my

    early adulthood, I was seen as a risk-taker or what is referred to as “edgework.” After I

    graduated college with my bachelors in social work I decided to take a year off to

    explore the world I was around 23 years old and just wanted to live my life to the fullest.

    This, out of all of my experiences, is the one I would do 1 billion times over again, it

    pushed me to the limits and really shaped who I would become and how I would help

    people in my field of social work, I traveled to various countries and met many amounts

    of people and really broaden my horizons. I will forever be grateful for the life I have

    lived and wouldn’t have done it any other way. Till the next lifetime.
