Problem
As I have read over and thought about these questions, it really would be hard to pick one area of my life to focus on because all the stages are a sum of who I am.
My childhood was very uncomfortable at my home. My father made life pretty difficult. He was abusive to everyone under the roof and especially my Mother. Both my parents suffered from alcoholism.Fear permeated the household. I also went to Catholic school, which at the time, was also ruled by fear. But what can a kid do? I was the oldest of 4 which was a lot of responsibility. Summer was a saving grace for me. My dear grandparents were people who had a home at the shore and I was allowed to run, explore and be free. Because I loved the beauty of nature, I always knew I would not live in my hometown. I wanted to be surrounded by natural beauty and tranquility.
Adolescence wasn't too bad. I loved school and did well. I had great friends. I loved being creative and was an art major. I had the grades to go to college, but my parents said, "Girls didn't need to go to college. They should get married and have a husband who should take care of you." Get the instant assignment help.
I left home as soon as I turned 20. I feared for my sisters and brothers that I left behind, but I felt like I needed to leave so I could thrive. I did move to a beautiful place but I made some bad decisions and married someone with some of the same issues I had left behind. When we divorced, I had 2 small daughters. I was determined to make a decent life for them and be happy at a career. I did manage to take some night college courses on marketing. I plied my creativity and what I learned to advance in life without a college degree and without a husband. I built a career in the graphic arts industry. I was very involved in my state in advancing the graphic design industry and was honored with a lifetime achievement award for those efforts. I loved my job and the creative community. I eventually married again to a great man. But that didn't come without complications when trying to blend 2 families.
Like all lives lived, there are ups and downs. My successes would be raising 2 strong women, living in a beautiful place and loving a wonderful man.
I will be 70 years old on Oct. , 2024.
Identify and apply one additional theoretical perspective that sheds light on aspects or phases of the interviewee's life. This additional theory does not need to be discussed in each stage of their life cycle; you are applying it to the same life cycle stage that you've chosen to use in applying Erikson's biopsychosocial theory of development.
Discuss limitations of one of the two theories in describing the interviewee's life narrative.
