life waiting to be written. Before I took my first breath, my life had already begun. Inside the belly of my mother throughout the prenatal period, physical parts, internal organs, and the brain were formed slowly as development advanced. Although I could not yet think, speak or learn in the same way I do today, my developing brain was already preparing the foundation for my future cognitive development. The initial experiences of the physical senses started while development progressed inside the womb, which marked the first stage of my journey toward becoming the person of today. My environment also played important role in my development before I was born. Many people believe that maternal health status, food intake, peace of heart, and the circumstances of pregnancy either support or challenge developmental growth. Necessary conditions for development were established by the protection and setting given at that stage so that entry into the outer world could happen safely. Remembering those days is impossible for me today, but development holds great meaning in my personal story because development started long before my first intake of breath.A

Even before I knew the world, the world was already preparing for me.
