Identity Or Confusion (12-20 Years)

Beginning with Just Girls, Finders first explores sociocultural perspectives, more specifically gender roles and the hierarchy found in schools. Finders cites that there is a shift and change occurring when one enters junior high, “[…] a critical juncture of necessary unlearning and relearning. Adults and adolescents must all renegotiate their roles and relationships- roles and relationships informed not simply by entry into adolescence, but also by how adolescence is situated within multiple cultural, historical, and institutional settings” (13). In support of a shift in

Twenty years from now I’ll be almost thirty-eight, I assume I’ll be married with children and own my own home in new orleans, still working as an esthetician. I'd be making around fifty thousand dollars a year and my monthly expenses would be around two thousand dollars a month and five hundred dollars extra would go into my retirement fund. I would like my children to go to college, but they can make that decision for themselves.

In five years I intend to be happily married, and continuing to live a happy life as I am now.  I intend to be planning a family and fostering the relationships with my family and my husband’s family.  I will be involved in the community, helping to ensure safe environment for my future children. Regarding my career, I hope to possess a supervisory or specialist role at

I would like to tell you a bit about myself: I am a social person, who loves to help. I try to invest in the studies as much as I can, yet I also work to provide for myself. In the future, I would like to work in the field of medicine, and in the army I would like to serve in the border guard unit.

Hopefully we will all be physically able to work until the age of 65, collect retirement and Social Security and live an enriching life until we leave this world. Not all companies financially support their employees with fully funded retirement plans so it is left up to the individual to actively participate in saving for their future. When someone reaches retirement age, if the finances are there, they are usually only a fraction of what they were making as a full-time employee. This is when one hopes of having Social Security and Medicare benefits to supplement our retirement income for a more stable financial future.

Ten years from now I see myself with children and a job in a local hospital taking care of children. I see myself with my Bachelors of Science in Nursing and a certification in Nurse Midwifery. My children may be around five years old and just starting school. I will encourage my children to take school as serious as I have and to do their homework. I eventually want to have at least four children but that choice may change as time goes on. I have no plans other than working and raising a family ten years from now. I plan on starting a retirement account early in life to reduce stress later on in

After that I would like the opportunity to work at Wells Fargo, Target Corporation, or 3M. I love working with kids so in ten years I would like the opportunity to open a training facility for kids to be more active! Also, I would like to be coaching a younger softball team so I can share the passion of softball and being active. In 5-10 years I would love to be married and thinking about starting a family. I am also going to stay very close with the family that I have now and continue seeing them consistently. To give back for the blessing that has got me this far I will continue worshipping God and giving back to my community. Which is why I want to become a coach, possibly open a training facility, and start a family. I am very excited to see where this journey at CSP takes

Ten years from now I expect to be a certified Occupational Therapist working in a pediatric setting. I am not sure where I am going to live at the moment. Ideally, I would like to live somewhere outside of a major city like Dallas, Tx. Though, I love the Conway and Little Rock area, so I would not mind living there either. Ultimately, it will depend on who I marry and what job opportunities arise for me upon graduation.

Walking into school on my first day of high school, I felt out of place. My face covered in acne, my teeth covered in braces, and the callicks in my hair stuck up through the abnormally thick layer of hair gel that coated them. My middle school social anxiety still ruled over me as I could barely speak with any member of the opposite sex. Yet, I still had an odd confidence about me. I had always been one of the best students in my class, even without ever studying for a test. I viewed high school as a slight uptick from the curriculum I had easily passed in middle school. I was wrong. High school exists as a microcosm of society, in which I originally failed to acclimate myself to the challenges posed to me in a setting of increased

By the time I am 27 and a post graduate student, I would hope to be doing something close to my major of physical therapy. I would be doing some kind of internship, hopefully paid and be searching for my spot in the real world. It would be important for me to utilize what I learned at school, use my education and be constantly learning new things and finding new ways to challenge myself. The idea of getting an education is what I value the most in life. I was raised to appreciate my education because not everyone has the same opportunity to get a good, free education. My mother for example stopped going to school after 6th grade because it was so far away for her to attend even though she wanted to and she needed to find a way to help support

There are many things that I hope to accomplish and do when I get older. I want to improve and accomplish different things for myself in my career that I choose, in my material goals, and spiritually. I'm looking at the year of 2009, I will be out of college and be on my feet, hopefully. I have high expectations for myself and hope to accomplish as many of my dreams and goals as I can throughout my life.

I will then purchase my own house and also a car. I will be paying insurance on both of these items. I will work the rest of my life as a Nurse and will eventually retire at the age of 65.

The first year, the time to prove myself had arrived. Classes, rooms, teachers, and some students were unfamiliar. Eventually, minutes melted into hours, hours to days, and days to weeks. It didn’t take long before my schedule was routine, something of second nature. Humor and happiness were found in the form of my advisory family, where school was transformed into something more than going through the same motions of day to day activity. By the closing point of sixth grade, I was having a hard time letting go of what I’d adapted to. “What’s wrong?” my dad asked when I was getting into the car after being picked up early on the last day. I explained how distressed I was that my first year of middle school exceeded my expectations, and that it had to come to an end. Although his outlook viewed my reason for sorrow as trivial, I didn’t.

Lastly a long term goal for me in the future is to start a family. A family with a caring mother and loving home to come too everyday which is filled with joy and happiness. I would like to devote all my spare time to focus on my family. Including all members of my family including and not limited too their educations, health and personal needs. I will try to come up with the most plans in order to give my children the chance to improve their life skills to make sure they get into college and are able to start a career by themselves knowing that I am their when they need me.

The question is where do I see myself in five to ten years. The honest answer is I don’t know where I’m going to be or what my career is going to be in the future. Right now I have no idea what I want to do with my life. Hopefully, I will move out of my parents house, get married to someone that I can see spending the rest of my life with and have a couple of children. I want to be a father so my kids can carry on the family name and most importantly to watch them grow up and raise them like my parents have done for my brother and myself. I hope in ten years that I will be at a steady and stable job that I enjoy going to every day and that I make enough money to support my family and not be worrying about money issues. Also, I hope that I’m done with school and have achieved the highest degree in my career field and hopefully I have no student loans that I need to payoff. Lastly, I see myself some place sunny and warm all year round with a house overlooking the water.
