From Possible Self to Actual Self: Life After College
摘要
This chapter draws on interview data collected in 2024, five years after the original data collection period (2015–2019), to relate how six of the nine research participants’ lives developed after college. The style is narrative rather than analytical, emphasizing the students’ experiences of building post-college careers, as well as their reflections on their time as international college students. In sum, this chapter offers an opportunity to gain an expanded appreciation for how the students continued to assert agency and develop their identities as they forged life paths after college.
