A Timeline of My Life By: Makayla Amestoy
I was born December 23rd, 2005 into a family with three siblings named Austin, Alex, and Thomas. I am the last of the four kids my parents, Brian and Christine, had. I was a Christmas baby, so that was fun for me growing up. -
Birth-18 months olds
Birth to 18 months old I was in the oral-sensory stage of my life. The basic conflict during this stage is Trust vs. Mistrust. That stage included lots of food. -
18 months - 3 years old
The next stage occurs during the ages 18 months to 3 years old. This stage is called the Muscular-Anal. During this stage I was learning how to walk and where to use the bathroom. -
3-6 years old
The next stage is the Locomotor and that takes place during the ages 3-6. I gained a lot of independence during this stage. -
Important Events That Occured During 0-10 Years
During this decade of my life I learned how to walk (specifically during the Muscular-Anal stage). Another event that occured is learning how to talk (Locomotor stage). Potty training is another event that happened (during the Muscular-Anal stage). All of these events are very important because they are basic things you do as a human. -
6-12 Years old
This is the Latency Stage. The basic conflict during this stage is industry vs. guilt. I began to talk more. Sometimes that can lead to kids feeling guilty. -
12 - 18 Years old
This is actually the stage I am in right now. This is called the Adolescence stage. The basic conflict in this stage is Identity vs. Role Confusion. This is definitely the stage where you begin to build your own beliefs like religion and politics. -
Important Events That Occured During the 10-20 Yeats
I think Covid was something that changed me as a person. Even though it isn't something that was supposed to happen during this stage I still believe that it changed me and what I believe. During this stage my principles and morals changed because of school and friends. I also think my drive and motivation changed a lot throughout this stage. In school I have always been very motivated, but right now senioritis has definitely kicked in, but that doesn't stop me from getting good grades. -
20-30 Years Old
During this age I will be at the Intimacy versus Isolation stage. The basic conflict is forming intimate relationships. The success is the healthy relationship. -
Major Events That Occured During The 20-30 Years
Some events that will occur during this stage is going to college. I plan on getting my degree in interior design at Utah State University. One of my dream jobs would be to be a social media influencer (specifically on TikTok). I would get to experience amazing trips while also working as an interior designer and sharing my life. I also hope to get married and start having kids early. -
30-40 Years Old
During this decade I will still be in the Intimacy vs. Isolation stage. Once again navigating relationships in my life. -
Important Events That Might Occur During The 30-40 Years
I plan on having 2-4 kids and having the last one early to mid 30's. I grew up with a lot of siblings and loved it. This will change my personality and mindset because that's what kids do. I am not 100% sure where I want to live, but I know some days that Montana isn't the place where I want to live the rest of my life. Moving locations changes your eyes and mind because it's all new. Another thing I want to do is travel the world with my family. Those memories we make will bring us closer. -
40-50 Years Old
This is the Middle Adulthood stage. The basic conflict during this stage is Generativity vs. Stagnation. During this stage is when people want to make a positive impact on the world and on their kids or environment. -
Important Events That Might Occur During The 40-50 Years
My kids will begin to graduate high school and move out. That will change my lifestyle because I will no longer have to take care of them at home. My kids will start to get married and move on with their significant others. Then grandchildren will begin during this decade. Grandkids will change my life completely because then that means I really don't have any kids to take care of, but now I get to do the fun part of spoiling the grandkids -
50-60 Years Old
I will still be in the Middle Adulthood. The basic conflict is Generativity vs. Stagnation. Once again just supporting my kids. -
Major Events That Might Occur During the 50-60 Years
I hope to retire in this decade. I want to spend a lot of time with my grandkids and stay home and bake. Some challenges that will occur near this decade is the loss of family members. The death of family members will change me as a person. I see many big family get togethers with all the cousins and nieces and nephews. Life will begin to slow down because the hardest parts are over. -
60-70 Years Old
During this decade I will be heading into the Maturity stage. The basic conflict during this stage is Ego Integrity vs. Despair. Starting to really appreaciate the little things and the life I built. -
Major Events That Might Occur During the 60-70
My husband and I will be fully retired. We will have so much time to be together and appreciate each others company. I want to take time and explore the world some more. The age we will be at allows us to go slowly and fully value the places we see. I want to be a memorable grandma and leave the grandkids great memories with me (specifically in the kitchen). -
70-80 Years Old
I will still be in the Maturity stage. Like before I will be accepting and valuing the life I created and memories I will be leaving behind. -
Major Events That Might Occure During the 70-80 Years
My grandkids will begin to graduate and see I get to see them mature and grow up. Watching the grandkids get married. I really hope to see great-grandchildren around this decade. Thinking about this decade seems crazy because I can see how my family will keep growing and growing. -
80-90 Years Old
I will still be in the Maturity stage. Feeling that I have lived life to the fullest and happy with what I accomplished during this life/decade. -
Major Events That Might Occur During the 80-90 Years
I picture me and my husband sitting outside and watching the sunset every night. I see us attending all the family events and spending so much time with family. We will stay put and enjoy the last moments we have together. -
Letter To Me
Dear Makayla,
You lived life to the fullest. You had amazing kids and grandkids that will remember you in many ways in life. The memories you created with them in the kitchen are the ones they look back on the most. You should be proud of the kids you raised because they are doing a lot of good in the world. Your family is massive and is continuing to grow. Your kids will pass on memories of you to their kids. Your biggest regret is not taking enough risks. You lived a happy full life!
