Life Story Chapters

In some of my readings the past few days (most of which will be documented in this blog under Quotes and Notes), scholars are telling me that I must begin with my own autobiography.  McAdams, with his Life Story Interview protocol, asks his subjects to begin by identifying the chapters in their lives.  Here are mine:

1. Saying Good-Bye to the Chipmunks^[1]
2. Interlude^[2]
3. That Girl^[3]
4. Twenty Going on Thirty^[4]
5. Doing School^[5]
6. All I Need is a Few Good Pens 

These are, of course, my initial attempts and inclinations and may be revised numerous times.

1. Chipmunks a reference to leaving our record player and albums behind when we moved from Davison to Lake City [↩]
2. the time at Lake City – title taken from ‘musical interludes’ [↩]
3. as in Marlo Thomas; I finish high school and college. [↩]
4. beginning a career and a family [↩]
5. Begin my life in higher education [↩]
