Transition from Adolescence to Adulthood
Being in Ty is scary. You feel left out, caught in the middle. You feel like you don’t belong, an outcast maybe? We begin to realize we are growing up. The vast weight of the world begins to fall on your shoulders. I can’t help but think back to those days when I was 5 years old and I was running around the grass in my little pink bikini, sun blaring, barbecue blazing and I didn’t have a single care in the world. The sky was bright blue and it was the middle of summer and my hair was in two little pigtails at the side of my head and all the family was over. I had barely any teeth in my head and I had a big smile on my face. I didn’t care that I looked like a little miniature devil I still enjoyed myself! The one thing that did matter to me thought was not getting to watch SpongeBob because it was past my bedtime and also not being allowed any more sweets but that was it. I didn’t care for who was the favourite in X-Factor or what colour I’m going to dye my hair

I know for sure that I do not want to be sitting in an office job, waking up on a Monday morning absolutely dreading the day ahead. I also know I want to travel to New Zealand, Amsterdam and Alaska. This means I need study subjects I like, to go to the college I want, to get the job I want to earn the money I need to travel to the paces I want to go. Researching the topic I learned that bio-veterinary science is a course that I would like to pursue in college because it is a science and it allows me to work with animals. Two things I love. But these simple things like looking after animals and working in a job that makes me happy suddenly all seem so impossible. They seem so far away and impossible to achieve. Since I am no longer a child, I can decide where I go and when I do it. I need to fend for
Today I came to Santa Barbra to spend time with someone close to me cause it 's his birthday. While on the beach walking and writing I realized that growing up, I dreamt of moving to California and having a career in the music industry. Growing up we may not have had he money to go on luxurious family vacations but we spent time together and went camping a lot. We appreciated our time as a family and our time with nature. Since I 've moved I 've been so focused on trying to find my place in the industry that I forgot about how fruitful my journey to this exact moment has been.
Do you remember in kindergarten when the teacher would ask the class what they wanted to be when they grew up? The answers usually consisted of firemen, doctors, princesses, cowboys, or an astronaut. Then there was always the teacher’s pet who of course said they wanted to be a teacher (typical). Well college is a lot like kindergarten. Your advisor asks you,” what do you want to do with your life after college”, but this time the answers don’t come as easily.
There are many different types of transitions people go through in life. The children and young people are the ones that go through the most physically and mentally as they starting to grow up and develop as individuals. As when growing up the children try to cope with sudden changes, as from going to primary to secondary school. Not only will this affect them, but their friendship groups will also change too. The most common type of transitions the children go through are starting or moving school, illness, puberty, bereavement and parents splitting up.
College may be the best and most important time of my life. I get the opportunity to make new friends, try new things, and to begin learning about things that I’m truly interested in. I’m slightly unsure of the exact direction I want to take with my life, but as proved in Just Mercy by Bryan Stevenson, as long as I choose to follow my passion I will end up doing the right thing in life. Whilst Bryan Stevenson has the profound passion of justice and mercy, my passion is very different. My passion in life is to provide dogs with better eye care.
Honestly, I have never planned on going to college in my life. When I get out of school I have a business waiting on me. My father’s occupation is a cowboy, he works cows in all four states (Arkansas, Texas, Louisiana, and Oklahoma) and even out of the four states sometimes. I’ve been working cows with my dad since I was 4 years old. It is an occupation I am very educated in.
“What do you want to do when you become older?” That is a question many of us were asked when we were extremely young. As we grew up we continued to be asked the same question whether it was by a family member or a friend. The bold among us likely conjured up occupations a far cry from the typical nine-to-five grind; only to learn later in life that job opportunities like being a veterinarian would be hard to come by. At first, I thought that question would have been a lot easier to answer, until I had to start preparing for my college applications.
“Even though you’re growing up, you should never stop having fun” - Nina Dobrev. Growing up is about learning new things, but not forgetting what was fun in the past. For kids, growing up means everything is new and unknown, and for some it is terrifying. In literature, characters develop and show physical and/or mental growth as the plot progresses. The authors of “Bangs,” “On Turning 10,” and To Kill a Mockingbird use literary tools to convey the theme of growing up, and show how children in the texts are struggling to live up to others’ expectations.
Arnett has provided enough detail about the stage and how it is successful in some cultures compare to the other. This article has also shown how emerging adulthood stage helps prepare adolescence for better future and help them explore their identity while getting them ready for adulthood. This comes with the disadvantage because some young people can take longer till they fully contribute to society. This is a type of a luxury that can’t be afforded by everyone.
Why I major in Veterinarian Technology Some people go to college knowing exactly what they want, others do not have a clue. On the average students change their majors three or more times before they graduate. Since I am in undecided person, selecting a major was a difficult decision to make. Before I attended college as a freshman, I wanted to figure out which career fits me the most and would give me passion every day. Most of my life I have loved and cared for different kind of animals, as well as devoting myself wholeheartedly to their well-being.
10. Future Directions After Adolescence. a. What pathways does your teen appear to be on in terms of physical, cognitive, and social/emotional development? How do you envision them in these areas as an adult? Explain your answers.
Theories of late adulthood development are quite diverse in later adulthood than at any other age. They include self-theory, identity theory and stratification theory. The self-theory tries to explain the core self and search to maintain one’s integrity and identity. The older adults tend to integrate and incorporate their various experiences with their vision and mission for their respective community (Berger, 2008). Also, the older people tend to feel that their attitude, personalities and beliefs have remained in a stable state over their lives even as they acknowledge that physical changes have taken place in their bodies.

My goals have changed a lot over the last couple of years. Bouncing back and forth between majors and deciding if I even want to be taking college classes right now. I kept asking myself why I should struggle with hard classes when I have a good job right now. But then I stopped and repeated “good job right now.” My job as a twenty year old might support me right now but is it going to support me in ten or fifteen years when I’m trying to buy a house and support my family?
