2. Within the arena you have chosen, describe some circumstances from your adolescence that impacted your journey to identity achievement.
3. Consider James Marcia's four specific coping strategies discussed in the text (role confusion, foreclosure, moratorium or achievement) and describe how they were or were not evident in your experience.
4. Tell whether your faith hindered or helped your journey to identity achievement.
Your thread must be 250--400 words. Use information from the Reading and Study materials for this module to complete this thread (at least two citations and a corresponding reference are required).
