Dear Steemians,
I am Jyoti from India glad to take part in the SC 29 W4 contest organised by @sohanurrahma

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

The role of parents, the community, and teachers is crucial in raising a child into a good human being. The collaborative responsibility of parents and teachers is crucial for a child's holistic development and successful educational journey. Parents provide love, values, and a nurturing home environment, while teachers provide formal education, discipline, and skills. When both work together, children's mental well-being, self-confidence, and social skills are enhanced. In that respect, they were the ones who taught me all the necessary skills and discipline.

In particular, my mother has worked very hard in shaping me. Just as a stone is sculpted into a statue, or a piece of clay becomes an artistic craft, her role in my life was incredible.

Similarly, my father has taught me about life, and by following the path he showed me, I learned many things. At the same time, I learned a lot about honesty, discipline, and sincerity.

Furthermore, my teachers also played a significant role in shaping me. Through them, I learned education, discipline, and the principles of life. I gained many valuable lessons from the stories they told.

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

While I was with them, I remember many things, and it's not possible to recall all of them here. However, a few things still keep coming back to my memory repeatedly. When I went out with my father, I would always walk holding his finger. Since we lived in a hilly area, we had to walk everywhere. Once, while walking, I let go of my father's finger. After walking a short distance, I grabbed the finger of someone who looked just like my father. Only when he looked at me did I realize he wasn't my father. I was immediately shocked and started crying. He also quickly walked away. I stood there and cried. My father had lost me, and I had lost him. I didn't know what to do. Then a lorry came along that way.

Its driver took me to the police station and handed me over. Then the police officers inquired about my father. Since my father was a Home Guard and also a teacher, they knew him and me. After contacting him and explaining the situation, my father came and rescued me within half an hour. This was an unforgettable experience for me; they were worried about me being missing.

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

Although my father was a teacher and also worked part-time in the Home Guard, he was very strict. Everyone was afraid of his imposing presence. Therefore, my mother also followed his lead and obeyed him. Because his strictness was so firm, my mother had no choice but to follow the same path. Moreover, they both lived as exemplary figures. Besides disciplining us, they themselves practiced honesty, hard work, and punctuality, which compelled us to follow suit. This proved to be crucial and very beneficial for my life, enabling me to live a disciplined and punctual life.

A mistake or lesson from school life?

One:

Teachers always work for the benefit of the students, however, there are despicable people among teachers as well.

That we shouldn't be like them in life. They are just like ordinary people. I would say that many people need a clear explanation regarding the conversation about "seeing the teacher as a deity." Just because someone is a teacher doesn't mean they are a good person.

In the school where I studied, a teacher conducted private tuition classes. Because many students didn't attend his tuition, he would frequently question the students who didn't attend his classes while teaching in school, beat them if they didn't answer, and constantly scold them. Fearing this, students who could get average marks went to his tuition. Many went to him for tuition because they feared their practical marks would definitely be reduced otherwise.
None of your friends will truly care about you. Only your family will always encourage you. All your friends will interact with you very affectionately and supportively. But if they no longer need you, they will distance themselves from you.

Two :

None of your friends will truly care about you. Only your family will always encourage you. All your friends will interact with you very affectionately and supportively. But if they no longer need you, they will distance themselves from you.

Friends will prioritize improving their own lives, and that's not wrong, but it's foolish to abandon your parents and consider friends as your whole life.

This is something I witnessed some friends doing. Now they are experiencing the consequences.

Respect your parents, and your life will be better.

Reflect on how those school days contributed to making you who you are today.

When I was in school, I wanted to get out of it quickly, but the truth is, we don't realize its value until it's gone. Now, as I look back, wonderful memories that changed my day come to my mind. I fully enjoy my life as an graphic designer, a mother, and a homemaker. In short, my school life is everything to me. I am who I am today because of my students. The school provided me with a platform to pursue my passion for teaching children and to build a connection with them. As a mother, I witnessed the growth I desired in my children as they grew up, and as an artist, I performed the tasks entrusted to me with great confidence.

I'd like to invite
