MY LIFE 3
My Life, My Passions
My initial plan was to graduate from high school and finish my Bachelor’s degree within three years. However, I got a big dose of life experience and found that things don’t always go as planned. In this paper, I will present a brief description of a few of my passions in life that have helped shape the person I am today and analyze some of these experiences using the adult development theories from this class. I will also look to goals and aspirations that I want to accomplish in the future. I was born and raised in the rural Mississippi Delta. My mother, Helen, was a strict disciplinarian who did not take any “mess.” My father on the other side was at my every back and call and spoiled us rotten. My older brother Robert was born in 1979, which makes him five years older than I. He made sure on a regular basis that I knew that he was the older brother. My father and my mother couldn’t see eye to eye on anything and they divorced when I was aged 2 years. By this time, Robert was seven and was indifferent about the whole situation.
Throughout my days spent in high school, I rarely took the time to develop a personal vision. My mind was too consumed with girls, clubs, and events to think of a specific purpose in life. Now that I have started a second pilgrimage through college, I find myself constantly
