The challenges experiences in new phases of life can create change, leading to a deeper understanding of self and others. The concept of transitions invariably involves an individual moving into a new phase of life. However, no successful transition occurs without challenges. It is the wisdom acquired from these hindrances which trigger shifts in the attitude and beliefs of an individual and a deepened understanding of the self and others.
In the article Leisure Education for a Quality Transition to Adulthood (1997), Stuart J. Schleien and M. Tipton Ray examine and evaluate the need and support for implementing comprehensive therapeutic recreation services within an educational school setting. Schleien & Tipton Ray (1997) effectively explains the needs of implementing these services in order to help students learn skills, which may be used in both vocational and non-vocational environments, thus facilitating a quality transition into adulthood. Throughout the article, Schleien & Tipton Ray (1997) explains that there is a constant need for increasing recognition and acceptance for not only youth themselves but also youth with disabilities. That being said, a successful transition
A transition from one life stage to the next can be a difficult or challenging time. We all go through a transitional phase. A rite-of-passage is this period in time. The most common rite-of-passage in the transition from childhood to adulthood, but that is not the only rite-of-passage a person can have. Whether a transition of age or transition of lifestyle, any transition can be hard.
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.
An accomplishment that saw me transition from childhood to adulthood was when I got my Eagle Scout award. Since the award occurred so close my eighteenth birthday and I had been working on it for so long. This accomplishment allowed me to look back on my childhood and reflect on everything that I had had to do to earn this award but more importantly reflect on what I had learned in my travel through scouting. This was not only a growing up process for me but for my community and family. Becoming an adult in society today is when you are able to use skills learned in childhood and combine these skills to complete one complex project or task.
The first job I ever had been at a grocery store called Ray’s Food Place. I started working there when I turned 16 as a part time courtesy clerk. I needed the job so I could raise money to buy my cheerleading uniform. I got the job pretty easily because my dad was best friends with the manager, I didn’t even have to fill out an application. I was excited because I was going to be working with my cousin, Although after getting the job it kinda sucked.
A developmental profile is a way to observe and record the occupations that a subject completes in their everyday life. In order to complete an accurate developmental profile, as many areas of occupations as possible, should be recorded. The purpose of this paper is to create a developmental profile on a subject, who is in the late adulthood stage of life. After obtaining information on the subject, the information can then be compared to other various stages of life. General Information Personal Data
Adults Over the years I have heard a common joke passed around by the older generation about how the worst choice they made was becoming an adult. This is supposed to be a rhetorical statement about how change is inevitable to everyone. However, becoming an adult is more than just waiting till you reach a certain age. As defined by Webster, an adult “is a person who is fully grown or developed”.
After graduation is like leaving out the door not knowing what’s coming ahead. Different experiences and in a blink of an eye, adulthood is
“I think part of maturity is knowing who you are.” (Rob Lowe) Various events that happen can mark your life tremendously. They can help you mature in many different ways coming from your background or culture. Many people believe that transitioning to an adult can take time.
In this paper I am going to discuss Lealan’s way of thinking by answering the question, is LeAlan’s way of thinking the same as an individual his age? I will explain about his abstract concept thinking, how he could think in multiple dimensions, his risk taking experiences, and his social cognition. In addition, I will analyze LeAlan’s social transition to adulthood based on employment aspirations, neighborhood conditions, timing of marriage and parenting and cultural influence. In this second part of LeAlan’s case study, Jones et al.

The title of this selection asks, ¨When Do Kids Become Adults?¨ Based on the articles in the section I came up to the conclusion that there is no exact age for an adult. This is because there are no exact answers based on science, historical events, or political answers. To start, in ¨What the Brain says about Maturity¨ it mentions that the systems of the brain responsible for logical reasoning starts at age 16, however they make egregious decisions and are still immature in ways that diminish their criminal responsibility as noted by Supreme Court. An important fact mentioned in the article is that there is no single age at which the adolescent brain becomes an adult brain. By this alone it proves that there is no exact age to becoming an
When do you become and adult? Sometimes it is never developed, on the other hand it might come too soon. It’s not a static characteristic that at a certain time is bestowed upon you. Do you remember the time when you said to yourself it’s time to grow up? For me, the bridge to adulthood is being accountable for your consequences’. When you have to own up to your actions and accept the consequences of your actions.
