Writing the Stories of Our Future Selves
Briefly

Young people experience a critical time of self-discovery as they return to college, facing both excitement and apprehension about their futures. This period prompts them to ask who they are and who they aspire to be. Parents are encouraged to support their children's independence while providing love and guidance. Successful adults emphasize the need for exploration and self-reinvention during college years. Reflection techniques, such as writing letters to their future selves, can help young people articulate and construct their identities more effectively.
Young people are in the process of creating who they want to be in the future; intergenerational narratives provide a foundation for constructing future selves.
Reflection through writing letters to our future selves can be a useful tool for young people exploring their identity and aspirations.
