Write your life story using the stages of psychosocial development as a framework. Go through each of
the stages that apply to you (most probably, stages 1-5 or 6). Ask information from you parents and
other significant persons in your life. Look at old baby books and photo albums. Also, include the results
of your questionnaire in the activity section. Write a narrative for each stage.

Typically, I don’t remember my first stage of psychosocial development but I ask my mother
how she was able to give me care and love that a baby’s needed. She said that when I was this stage she
usually by my side all the time I am the eldest and I was breastfed so I am very close with my mother
until now. She told me that when she wants to go to the market she just gives me to our close relatives
in the neighborhood.

My 2nd stage which I am toddler my father told me that we always go to the cinema with my
mom. We always go on a date with my family. My aunt also which is my mom’s sister always get me to
our house to go somewhere where she buys me some food and we always go to church. I was very
dependent to my aunt at this age. According to my mother she always permits me to play outside with
our neighbors.

My 3nd stage of development when I was a four or five years old I remember when going to
school my mother just taking care of me and I was very active in our daycare school. We always sing and
play in school. My mother told me that I was very close also to my teacher. I remember also that I was
bullied by a young boy in our neighborhood. When my mother goes to their house I always hold my
mom tightly because the boy always pinched me. But overall this stage of my childhood was very happy
because I have now a baby sister, we always play and sing outside of our house.

My 4th stage when I was in grade school this time I love all of my teacher and my classmates. My
parents always support me. I remember when I was in grade 2 that was my 8 th birthday when my Auntie
buy ice cream, pansit and bread to celebrate my birthday in our classroom I am very happy when all of
my classmate sing a happy birthday for me. I also remember that I am always a classroom officer and
that time it builds me confidence.

My 5th stage, adolescence, this time I think my confidence becomes low, my mother always told
me to focus in my academics but I want to be a sipak takraw athlete she does not support what I want
she told me that if may affects my academic grades so stop. When I was also in my 3 rd or 4th year high
school my mother did not want me to go to JS Prom so after this I feel that nobody supports me. I
always compare myself to my younger sister because she always gets support from our parents. This
stage for me is very much depressing.

This 6th stage for me is the turning point of my life, this time I build my self-confidence because I
finish my college degree and I found a good job and promote as a manager, I travel a lot so it makes me
happy and adjust from single to have a partner.

For now, that I am on my 7 th stage I am happy that I am a mother with my 3yrs old daughter. I
just want to be more stable financially because my goal in life now is for my daughter and build her a
good future. I want her to become successful and proud. I just pray that me and my family will have a
good health and we build also happier memories.
