SC-S29/W4- Nostalgia Of The Liitle Me : People Who Shaped My Childhood

Hey guys welcome to my blog today, I'm going to be sharing in this memorable contest, The pictures I'm using in this contest are pictures of me and my beautiful daughter. So in the absence of high and my mum's photos have recreated this memory stories with my daughter photos.

I've also take it upon myself to train her and give her all the love she needs in her childhood.

Who is the person (or people) that shaped your childhood the most?

My parents, if not for them and they way they shaped my childhood where would have I been?

They were my first teacher, my guidance, my support team, my protector, my counselor. Their constant support and advice helped me to walk in a path that leads to who I am today.

They taught me respect, they taught me manners, they educated me in all areas of life and as the people I look forward to, they lived a life so worthy of imitation, and I followed their footsteps which shaped me into a discipline person.

My mum especially really build me up and I looked exactly like her.

Just as my daughter looks like me, I resemble my mum as well

What is your earliest or most memorable memory with this person?

I remember when I was about starting secondary school, my mum took it upon herself to talk to me every day about school life, what to expect and how to act towards each things I will see.

So this became very easy fore to scale through my secondary school days without much difficulties and overcame all bullies.

On one occasion, she woke up very early to arrange and prepare us for the day, that was the day I learnt responsibility from her without her knowing.

Some other time, when I was in college, I remember how she calls me everyday in school till everyone living next door to me will always know who calls when my mobile phone Rings.

Then recently, she was with me spending months in my house due to her health conditions, I practically took good care of her. She didn't relent giving me advice and praying for me, she commended me on how I live in my married home and gave me more advice on how to handle some situations.

I appreciate my mentor so much, she still contribute to my growth.

Having fun time with her

How did this person guide, support, or discipline you during childhood?

My mum is a disciplinarian, she doesn't tolerate bad habits and so she never hesitate to scold, talk to me and even correct me when I'm wrong in a loving way. She believes in correction, teach and so when she disciplined me, she helps me see the need of it and reassured me.

She guided me when it comes to life choices and was sure I took the right path. She supported me when in my childhood so much, I remember when I started a business after school, she was my biggest support bothe physically, financially and emotionally.

She encouraged me to be consistent in business and while in college, she was my great support as well.

What values, habits, or lessons did you learn from them?

Me and my daughter

From my parents, I learned a lot from them. My mum is a very kindhearted woman and I've learned that from her.

There is a particular aspect of her that I adopted and I appreciate the fact that it's natural so even when I tried so much to avoid it, I still found myself doing it.

The aspect of living with in-laws, supporting them with all her heart without let up. I see myself doing the same with all my heart. Most times I will plan my response to turn down some offers but later find myself doing exactly what I wanted to reject.

She also have the habit of giving from her heart, I found myself doing same and I like it so much.

In all she is;

• Very hard working
• Respectful
• Generous
• Honest
• She has high level of tolerance
• She understands the importance of education
• She never give up during difficult times and has taught me never to despite any challenges but I should hope and trust in my creator.

How does their influence still reflect in your life today?

Me now, unleashing my career project

My parents influenced me positively and I still live with that till now. I have seen myself being that person I wanted to be.

I've learn staying focus and achieving goals, this year, I've seen myself already achieving all my goals and I believe that their influence has helped me do this.

Their influence has helped me to handle responsibility in a more matured way. It has helped me treat people with empathy and love. I've been able to make decisions that shape the person I am becoming now due to her influence.

Just yesterday, I called them and appreciate the kind of person they shaped me to I've been able to discover my values and live to achieve my goals.
