Awesome work on your first discussion posting for thisclass. I think this is an interesting topic to reflect onpersonally. I read Adaptation throughout life depends on how eachof us negotiates the internal and external factors that enhance orconstrain our abilities to reach our full potentials. The essenceof life span development is in how we build on our strengths totranscend these limitations over time (WGBH EducationalFoundation 2001 Life span development para. 1). How have younegotiated the different stages of life? Did one stage affect theother? Im so glad you mentioned your culturalbackground. It shapes many of us more than we know. Imsure it will come up again for you next week in our discussion ofnature vs. nurture. has to be at least 100 words or more
