SC-S29/W4- Nostalgia Of The Liitle Me : People Who Shaped My Childhood
![]() |
|---|

The truth is, we don't just appear out of thin air. If we think about it, we're like a remix of all the people who put up with us when we were little.
From that grandparent who told you stories to the teacher who gave you good advice when you were lost, or even that friend you caused chaos with at recess; they all left their mark. It's crazy to look back and realize that many of the things we say or do today, we actually learned from someone who guided us without us even noticing.

Who is the person (or people) who most influenced your childhood? |
|---|
For me there are three: My parents and my maternal grandmother they are my pillar, my example, my beacon of light and above all my teachers

| Mother | Dad | Grandpa |
They are the ones who have been with me since before I was born and until now, and who made me the man I am today. From them I received the best teachings, the best advice, and the best example.

What is your earliest or most memorable memory of this person? |
|---|
Every single memory I have with them is incredible. They made my childhood the best any child could have. I had a wonderful home where respect, but above all, love, reigned.
But I'm going to mention one memory I have with my grandmother that was very memorable.
My grandmother has always been a very religious woman. When I was little, she enrolled me in church for my First Communion, and she took me to the talks and Masses every day. But unfortunately, a few months later, I had to move, and that's when I was separated from her. 🥹😭 It was a very painful time.
Anyway, my mom continued what my grandmother had started. She enrolled me in the church we moved to, and on the day of my Communion, my grandmother surprised me. She traveled 12 hours by car to be with me on that important day. I remember that so well; she has always been there for me during the most special and important moments. I already knew my grandmother loved me, but that day I knew for sure that I could always count on her, forever.

How did this person guide, support, or discipline you during your childhood? |
|---|
As I mentioned before, the people who shaped my character, that winning team, were the perfect trio of my parents and my grandmother. The craziest thing about growing up with them is that they didn't raise me with boring lectures that you just want to skip, but by example alone.
Discipline with them never felt like punishment for its own sake; it was more about seeing how they strived, how they fulfilled their responsibilities, and how they remained steadfast even when things got tough.
I learned what honesty and respect are not because they forced me to repeat concepts, but because I saw them be that way every day in the house.
They supported me when I was lost and guided me without taking my breath away, always being the mirror in which I wanted to see myself. In the end, who I am today is the result of seeing them be real, with their mistakes and their successes, but always giving me direction through their actions.

What values, habits, or lessons did you learn from them? |
|---|
When I take a look at what I have to face life today, I realize that my parents and my grandmother put together a complete survival kit for me. They not only taught me values, but they also passed on those good habits that now, as I'm older, I understand why they were so important.
They taught me to be responsible and organized, to not leave things lying around, and to understand that if I don't take care of my things and my time, no one else will. From the habit of putting effort into my studies or work, to the simplest things like keeping my word or being punctual, those small routines are what give me structure today.
And all of that was the foundation for deeper things. They taught me respect and honesty as non-negotiable. Thanks to them, I learned to build my self-esteem, to value myself, and not to let anyone walk all over me. They also gave me the example of resilience; seeing them get back up after tough times taught me that I can handle anything that comes my way.
But the best part is that nothing was out of obligation, but out of love. They raised me with that kind of affection that gives you the confidence to venture out into the world, knowing that I have the values and habits necessary to stay on track.

How is its influence still reflected in your life today? |
|---|
The answer is simple: they're in everything I do. They're not just childhood memories; my parents and my grandmother are my guides and my constant beacon of light. In this mess of growing up and starting to make my own decisions, they're the ones who help me stay on course.
What I value most is that, beyond their advice, they are my constant companions. This is especially evident in my dream of becoming a great singer. Everyone knows that the path of art is difficult, but having them behind me, encouraging me, supporting me in every rehearsal, and believing in my voice even more than I do myself, is what gives me the strength to keep going.
Knowing that they are there for everything—to celebrate my achievements and to lift me up on my darkest days—is what allows me to step onto the stage of life with confidence.
Their influence is reflected in my self-assurance and in the passion I put into my studies, my business, and above all, my music, because I know that, no matter what happens, my team is there. They are, without a doubt, my best song.

And that's all for now. I'd like to invite @marianri @marulobo @solperez @zulay7059 @pandora2010 to participate too! Until next time!!!

I've attached my first achievement here for any verification of my identity.: This is me
