Like a seed it starts with opening up and sprouting into a flower growing bigger and fuller as time goes by.Life has many stages,just like the seed, becoming older includes being exposed to new and different experiences as well as new emotions.

When growing older, changes begin to occur from looks, feelings, and expressions.An example of this is in the picture ¨Growing Up¨ by Hannah Galvin, it has seven figures, the third is of a child running with wide steps and happiness of what's to come.The fourth figure in the drawing is a teen with a bowed head and tiny stride, scared of what has happened.The sixth one is standing tall, arms crossed, and legs firmly planted on the ground, its stable and made something from what has happened.The final figure has a bowed head as well as body, tiny, and slow steps waiting for what's next in life.Each figure represents a different stage of life, each different from the others.
