  2. Transitional Planning • During life we all go through transition periods. • The first one is leaving home and going to school. • The next one might be going to middle school, then high school. • At the end of high school we might enter the world of work or continue on to college. • Another might be moving out on our own. • Finally, some of us might experience marriage and children. • How did we handle all these transitions in our life?
