Dear Mama, Because of love, I am here asking you a consideration not to abort me. I am not just a "blob of tissue" or "uterine contents". I am a human undertaking development inside you. When you had sexual intercourse with Papa, within one or two days of the egg’s maturation, I am one of the up to 500 million sperm deposited by Papa’s ejaculation, which are travelling up the fallopian tube, may fertilize the egg. Although few of the sperm are able to make the long journey, some of the strongest swimmers succeed in meeting the egg. As the sperm reach the egg in the fallopian tube, they release enzymes that attack the outer jellylike protective coating of the egg, each trying to be the first to enter. As soon as one of the millions of sperm enters the egg’s coating, the egg immediately responds by both blocking out all other challengers and at the same time pulling in the single successful sperm - and that's ME, the lucky o...

Sa 300 - 500 na umabot sa lugar, isa lamang sperm ang positibong masuweting mafertilize na itlog at AKO yon na mapalad na nanalo sa pakikipaglaban para isilang sa mundong ibabaw. Nagsikap ako na malagpasan ang mga pagsubok sa aking "pre-natal development" upang makita ka mahal kong ina. At ngayon ikiniconsider mo na ako ay iabort. Hindi mo ba naiisip? Nakipagunahan sa ibang sperm kahit wala akong mata at mga paa. Nanalo ako at makokompleto ko na anf pre-natal development. Magkikita na tayo Mama. Hindi hadlang ang pagsubok at hamon na dinaanan ko sa "germinal stage', embryonic stage at Fetal stage. Ako'y nagi...
Bronfenbrenner's Ecological Framework
According to Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological Systems Theory, children typically find themselves enmeshed in various ecosystems, from the most intimate home ecological system to the larger school system, and then to the most expansive system which includes society and culture. Each of these ecological systems inevitably interact with and influence each other in all aspects of the children’s lives. Bronfenbrenner’s ecological model organizes contexts of development into five levels of external influence. These levels are categorized from the most intimate level to the broadest. The Bronfenbrenner Ecological Model: Microsystem The Bronfenbrenner theory suggests that the microsystem is the smallest and most immediate environment in which children live. As such, the microsystem comprises the daily home, school or daycare, peer group and community environment of the children. Interactions within the microsystem typically involve personal relationships with family members, classmates, t...
