“Focus on life purposes and meanings”and “matters of achieving these ends”

crisis of identity versus role confusion.

• Some integration of inner and outer that leads to a meaningful psychosocial niche
Develomental Task
To get a life
(Habermas & Bluck, 2000)
Accounts Constitute the Self
• TALK SELF INTO EXISTENCE
• DEFINE IDENTITY THROUGH STORIES
• STORIES INVEST SITUATIONS WITH MEANING
• DEVELOP OUR IDENTITIES BY TELLING STORIES
• CHANGE OUR IDENTITIES BY CHANGING OUR STORIES
• Individuals make their lives and worlds through stories
• College students begin the process of reconstructing their past, perceived present, and anticipated future in terms of a story about the self that makes sense to them and to their audience.
The Self in Narrative
…And when she sang, the sea, Whatever self it had, became the selfThat was her song, for she was the maker. Then we,As we beheld her striding there aloneKnew that there never was a world for herExcept the one she sang and, singing, made.
Wallace StevensThe Idea of Order at Key West

• Gives coherence and continuity to the scamble of experience
• Integrative narrative with some degree of unity and purpose.
• Credible, complex, continuous
• Narrative truth
• Still gathering stories that will eventually become part of identity
Self-Making Narratives andLearning to Become
• Self-making is a narrative art
• Self-telling prompted by career concern
• Micro-narratives accumulate over time and pattern themselves into a macro-narrrative
resembling a conventional genre which provide plot summaries for telling oneself about oneself and to others.
• Clear and compelling story with which to organize your life leads to powerful thematic coherence in life story
• Find wisdom and direction in their own experience
ANIMATING PASSION
• EACH LIFE HAS ITS OWN LOGIC. - LOOK FOR GLUE THAT HOLDS THE FACTS TOGETHER.
• Meaning emerges out of patterns.
• Pattern is primary unit of meaning
My project was to tell unforgettable stories
My project was to encourage people to dance to their own tune
My project was to use laughter to help children learn
My project was to point out the pointless
My project was to turn the ridiculous into the sublime
Developing talents and skills is
important, but there is no substitute for a
grounded sense of self.
Discover your own values and life
purpose.
Career as carrier of meaning provides a
holding environment during times of transition.
Career stories carry us through developmental tasks,
vocational transitions, and occupational traumas.

John Milton
A good book is the precious lifeblood of a master spirit.
A blue-collar columnist: Connie Schultz, the Plain Dealer's
Pulitzer Prize winner, loves to tell the stories of regular people.
• About the ordinary, by the extraordinary.
• Tribute to Grace Paley on her death. PD August 28, 2007
• In 1974, I was a bony-kneed, know-it-all teenager, scared to death I would end up like the women I came from.
• Mother was a nurse’s aide, one grandmother raised chickens, the other raised 12 kids and kept telling me to “be all ears and no mouth.”
• Their lives seems so dead-end empty, full of nothing but cautionary tales for big-dreamer me.
Enormous Changes at the Last Minute
Then I discovered writer Grace Paley’s book of short stories. The book taught me that ordinary women, like my mother and grandmothers, lived the most interesting lives.
• Paley’s book settled in me like a bad cold, making me restless and achy as I tried to figure out what had me so worked up. Paley would not let me be.
• Paley showed high regard for ordinary women. The kind who listen to the very end of your sentence.
Paley fills her stories with conversational voices, many of them ethnic, echoing the sounds of her youth and the personal stories of women and children. Her writing details ordinary people, congregating on porch steps and in kitchens—the flashes of everyday life. Whether celebrating the blessings of friendship or protesting against social injustice, her poems brim with compassion and tough good humor.
• My mother and grandmothers did not want me to end up like them. They just wished that I would take a little bit of them with me.
• I’m still mining the treasures they buried deep within me, and I am reminded of it every time I read a Paley story.

My dream since childhood was to be an entertainment person—write, produce, act. You have to turn something negative into something positive, and that's kind of the story of my life. My dream since childhood was to be an entertainment person—write, produce, act. I studied film and theater at UCLA. Everyone I knew became a waiter on the side, but instead I became an assistant at a stock brokerage, Drexel Burnham Lambert.

• It is the only Native-owned investment bank.
• Now has 55 employees

It's Important To Know WhereYou've Come From...
The most appealing part of filmmaking for me is the ability to touch lives, make a difference in the world, and change people's attitudes through storytelling. There is no other method more effective and powerful than the film genre: it can be horrible when used improperly, but so amazingly wonderful when it can bring beautifully accurate depictions to, and of, underserved communities like ours."
