Review: Personal Experience Assignment Instructions
For this assignment you will write about a personal experience you have experienced or are experiencing related to Erikson’s psychosocial stages in Chapter 7 (Identity vs. Role Confusion) or 8 (Intimacy vs. Isolation).

It is very important that you do not choose an experience that is painful or overly personal. I do not want you to explore a topic that may cause psychological distress for you. Here are some topics that would be appropriate to explore, assuming you feel comfortable doing so:

Education/career plans as you entered college or after a first career
Entering or dissolving relationships as a young adult
Identity (gender, sexual, cultural, religious, ethnic, etc.)
Once you have determined your topic:

Connect the personal experience to your chosen stage
Explore what you learned (or are learning) from the experience
