Explain How To Transition You From Childhood To Adulthood

As defined by Merriam-Webster Dictionary, an adult is someone who is mature, sensible, and fully grown. Upon entering adulthood and leaving behind the teenage years, life becomes a lot more difficult. Young adults have to find a job, somehow pay taxes, figure out how to rent an apartment, find a college, figure out their major, somehow fit a job and college into their lives, and move out of their parents’ house. Upon graduating high school, new adults have a lot on their plate. They didn’t even learn how to do any of this in high school! Unprepared, stressed and fresh out of high school. A course that teaches high school students what will be expected of them after graduation would better the upcoming generations and ease their entry into

So when being asked to discuss an event that marked my transition from childhood to adulthood, this is the story I want to give. Before this had happened I didn’t have a job and wasn’t responsible enough to even think about having a job. But when it did happen it showed me that I had to make that transition in less than a week to get ready for the job I had been dreaming about every time I went into that store with my grandmother as a

An event that clearly marked my transition from childhood to adulthood was the truly eye-opening experience of attending a Kairos retreat. For those unfamiliar with Kairos, it is a four-day religious retreat in which you and a small group of students come together to more learn about God, themselves, and others in a setting that completely removes you from the daily distractions and stresses of the outside world. Everyone, including myself, was able to share the personal stories about the struggles that they have faced and are continuing to face every day of their lives and offer support to others that may be going through similar things. We laughed together, we cried together, and we created strong relationships and friendships with people, some of which we hadn’t spoken a word to or even known by

Many underestimate the power that a singular event possesses and the extent at which it can alter one’s mindset. Often times a shift in the method of thinking and processing information, the act which drives our entire being, signifies a “coming of age”. Reaching a pivotal moment in time where not only do those around you recognize the transformation, but you also fully embrace the alteration. In layman's terms, transitioning out of childhood conjures thoughts and ideas that evolve from the foundation of one’s life. For me, the potent mixture of a short-lived period of blissful innocence and a pressurized home environment led to the culmination of a desire to succeed.

Discuss an accomplishment or event, formal or informal, that marked your transition from childhood to adulthood within your culture, community, or family.

For me to discuss a single event that transitioned me from childhood to adulthood would be impossible. As people grow, they experience many events and those experiences are what shape us into the people we are today. Starting from my origins, I was born in a dense city called Reading. Throughout the city there are people roaming the streets from different ethnicities. Growing up was tough, it didn’t matter who you were because you were always surrounded. You did one wrong move and someone would look at you differently. Hearing stories about my young childhood, made me a little sad. My dad was never around, and my mom was either at work, or inside trying to take care of the house. At first it was only me and my older brother. We got along fine, but as your average pair of street kids, we would get in trouble from time to time. Since we didn’t have too much money, our family tried to get by with what we got. We couldn’t buy all the toys that we wanted, and even if we did, there was a good chance

Young people have to work through a broad range of issues as they move from childhood to adulthood. They may have to deal with changes to their bodies and their feelings and they may be thinking about having their first relationship or having sex. Young people may also be exploring their identities in terms of their sexuality or gender identity. They may want more independence from their families, and their friends may play a more important part in their lives. Some may also want to experiment with alcohol and other drugs. Although growing up can be an exciting time, it can also be confusing and challenging. Research shows confident young people who feel supported by their families and friends are more likely to safely negotiate issues like

Aging is a normal process that everyone will journey through in a life time. A journey that produces change and experience that will cause a person to go through transitions. Transitioning can be a difficult process to adapt to if lacking support and resources. Retirement is a transition that many people will experience. Retirement does not affect everyone the same way. Some people are happy to retire and some people are unhappy about retirement. The retirement age for Americans is 65 years old. This age group is part of the late adulthood and is known as seniors or older adults. In late adulthood, people can transition through three different stages. According to Ashford & LeCroy (2012), “The sub-period for late adulthood are young-old, middle-old,

My transition from childhood to adulthood took place when I got my first job, as a lifeguard, the summer of my Freshmen year of High School. During this summer I learned important skills and life lessons and by the end of the summer I had a new perspective on what it means to be an adult and the challenges that came with this transition. These skills include teamwork, communication and a new sense of responsibility.

The accomplishment that helped me transition into the young adult that I am today is something that I'm very proud of. Every since I was a little kid all I've ever wanted to do was sing. I started singing as a small child in my church choir, at the early age of five.

Transitioning into adulthood by coming out isn’t the easiest way to do things. It wasn’t the chosen path, of course, but it happens to be my story.

As I am now a Father and am raising a child of my own, I always look back at my own childhood and can remember those days where I would do something wrong and get punished for it. I did not know what it would be like to have a child of my own and have to take on a whole new responsibility until the day I met my daughter. The day came where I received the phone call while at work telling me to get to the hospital, she is coming. It was like my whole heart stopped and for a minute I was thinking “wow, I am fixing to become a Dad”. The whole pregnancy and the 9-month wait does not prepare you for the day your baby arrives.

My parents got divorced when I was two years old and growing up trying to be a kid was difficult. I had to pick between going to my friend’s house for the weekend or hanging out with my dad or mom. I had to pick whether going to a birthday party was more important than watching TV with my dad. For a young kid, these were very difficult decisions. I learned how to be organized, by packing my bags and going to my dad’s for the weekend. I learned how to have patience when waiting to be picked up by my other parent. I went from being an only child to having step brothers when my mother remarried and learning to be content with what I had. I learned a lot of important traits at a young age and they have helped me as I have grown. I have not also
