The story begins with a tiny cell. "I" quietly arrive in the warmth of Mom's womb, embarking on a wondrous journey of growth in this magical place of life. Nurtured and protected there, "I" gradually move from haziness to clarity, from fragility to strength. At last, "I" am born into the world amid the eager hopes of my family, ready to embrace all the beauty that awaits.
