Agency

What is Agency?

Agency is the ability of a person to make choices and take actions by themselves. It’s like when you decide what to eat for breakfast or what game to play with your friends. You are using your agency to make those decisions. In other words, it’s the power you have to make decisions and take actions in your life.

How does Agency affect us?

Agency affects us by giving us control over our own lives. It allows us to:

  • Choose our hobbies and interests
  • Decide who our friends are
  • Make choices about our education and future

Having agency means we can shape our own paths and make decisions that reflect who we are and what we want.

Why is Agency important?

Agency is important because:

  • It helps us feel independent and responsible
  • It encourages us to think and decide for ourselves
  • It helps us learn from the choices we make, whether good or bad

Understanding and using our agency can lead to a more fulfilling life where we feel in control and capable of making our own decisions.
