A Reflective Look at My Life At the age of five, I began meticulously planning every detail of my life, from my career to the family I would have. Although life does not always go according to plan, as the journey progresses, it shapes the people we become, which I will discuss briefly in this paper. I will describe the course my life has taken so far and relate these experiences to the stages of life using eclecticism and the social theories we have studied in this class. I will also discuss my goals and aspirations for the future and relate these ideas to the life rules discussed in this class. Although I have six siblings, my baby sister did not come along until I was fifteen. I grew up the fifth child of six, with three brothers and two sisters. Both my sisters and two of my brothers are older than me, but I am closer in age to my two older brothers and spent most of my childhood around them. My younger brother is four years younger than me and became my shadow when he reached school age. A single parent of six children, my mother worked relentlessly trying to support us all. Living in New York City, this presented a constant struggle. We moved a lot
