This period is characterized by physical, social, moral and emotional development (Davies, Hartdegen, Haxell, Le Geyt & Mercier, 2012). It is a time when the adolescent's sense of self or identity is becoming much clearer and they are starting to understand their role in society, starting to question the morals of others and contemplating their own moral and ethical beliefs (Davies et al., 2012 ). During this time Erik Erikson believed that adolescents were facing the psychosocial stage of identity versus role confusion (Berk, 2008). Adolescents explore their values ​​and role in society, overcoming this conflict to better understand their identity, however if they do not completely overcome this conflict, Erikson believes that the adolescent would be confused about their values ​​and future adult roles (Berk , 2008). This conflict was clearly demonstrated in my development during late adolescence, when I experienced both the results of failing and subsequently passing Erikson's fifth psychosocial stage. At the age of eighteen I finished secondary school and began tertiary studies, I had been accepted into the degree course I had wanted to study since childhood, but I quickly learned that I enjoyed neither my studies nor my experience of life in college. I stopped studying only afterwards
