1.1 The Beginning
I chose this day because it’s when I truly felt like I became an adult. It wasn’t just about age. It was the moment I started taking real responsibility, making decisions on my own, and thinking seriously about my future. I began relying more on myself, and that transition made me feel confident and independent, which is what adulthood means to me. -
2.3 My Current Healthy Lifestyle
Right now, I have some healthy habits like regular exercise, not smoking, and avoiding alcohol. However, I don’t eat as many fruits and vegetables as I should; I still eat junk food, and I rarely use sunscreen. To improve, I want to eat healthier and use sunscreen more often to lower future health risks. -
Adult Attachment Style
My quiz results show I have a secure attachment style, low avoidance, and moderate anxiety. I’m comfortable with closeness and trust others easily. I see partners as a safe haven and secure base, which fits Hazan Shaver’s model. I think my internal working model was shaped by supportive caregivers, helping me feel balanced in relationships. -
Young Adult Role Transition: Starting a Full Time Career
This will be a big step toward independence, with new responsibilities and a steady income. I think this will happen at a typical age, as many people start working in their early 20s. A challenge might be adjusting to the 9–5 schedule and handling stress or doubts about my career choice. I plan to manage this with time management, support from loved ones, and staying open to learning, which are key parts of emerging adulthood and identity development. -
My RIASEC Type
The Social RIASEC type fits me well. I enjoy helping others grow, especially through coaching or mentoring. Even though I'm more reserved and independent, I still can connect with people on a deeper level. Coaching feels like a realistic path. It matches my interest in support, leadership, and personal development. My career goals align well with my test results. -
Super's Stages
At age 30, I would likely be in the Maintenance stage of my career as an athletic coach or mentor. I would focus on maintaining and improving my coaching skills, using training strategies, and staying current with new developments in sports science. The goal is to maintain consistent performance, support athletes’ growth, and balance professional pleasure while adapting to changes in the field. This stage is about stability and ongoing development rather than starting or ending my career. -
2.4 Potential Consequences of My Lifestyle
If I keep my current habits, I could face health risks like obesity, heart disease, diabetes, and some cancers due to poor nutrition and junk food. Not using sunscreen also increases my risk for skin cancer. However, staying active, not smoking, and avoiding alcohol can help protect me from conditions like Alzheimer’s and heart disease. I need to eat better and use sunscreen regularly to stay healthy as I age. -
Prospective Memory
After taking two memory tests, I remembered visual information better than letter strings. My reaction time was 0.760 seconds with 98% accuracy, showing that my attention is healthy. I focused on prospective memory since it tends to decline around age 60. This could make tasks like taking medication or paying bills harder. To stay on track, I’d rely on routines, phone reminders, and support from others if needed. -
Older Adult Role Transition
I expect to feel relief now that I have more free time and less stress, but it may be hard to adjust without a daily routine. This is a typical retirement age, and many people experience similar changes. A challenge might be staying mentally and socially active. I plan to stay involved through hobbies, travel with my loved ones, or do something that involves giving back to the community. This fits with the idea of successful aging, which means staying engaged and finding meaning beyond a career.
