The term “possible selves” means the potential selves someone can have throughout their lives. It was changed into the term “possible lives,” although it is not dissimilar to the “possible selves.” Katherine Brooks, the author of the book, mentions it is not smart to assume that I will know exactly where I will be later in life. I took this comment into great consideration, I have for years assumed that in a couple years I will go to medical school and furthermore be in a residency program and eventually become a surgeon. I push aside negative comments questioning whether I will even make it into medical school but what if I truly don’t? What then?
When I created my possible lives map I saw a trend. They were mostly medical or law related.
