During the stage of emerging adulthood, many individuals consider whether or not they want to go to college, travel, get a job, etc. Reflect on what significant choices you have made in your own emerging adulthood, and what led you to make those choices (peers, family/parents, values, etc). Consider how these experiences in this phase of life have impacted your ability to think critically, to form your identity, and to more deeply understand the cognitive shifts you have or are making.
