my family

Greetings everyone!

Am delighted to participate in this wonderful contests and share with you how my childhood was they people that was involved in moulding me to become who Iam today and how that has impacted my life positively.

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

They people that shaped my childhood was my family, growing up as a child I was surrounded with love from both my nuclear and extended family my character as a person is a reflection of the the people that influence me positively while growing up.

My parents, elder siblings and my Auntie played a vital role in shaping me to become the woman Iam today by being an exemplary not just what the say or want me to do but by what they do.

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

me and my aunty

My father's eldest sister help me overcome fear and be able to speak up when am being bullied, growing up as a child I was always overwhelmed by my emotions and can't speak up to defend myself when am deeply hurt, this mostly made people who bullied me get away with it which opened door to be bullied further.

I mostly spend time with her because she was a secondary school teacher and she always gave me tips for my assignment we were close friend because of that closeness she noticed I was unable to speak up anytime Iam deeply hurt and when am finally ready to speak up few or no one was interested anymore, it affected me so badly that I began to develop low self-esteem.

With love and calm voice she assured me that it is totally to breakdown at some point but not always, why it is important to speak up when being bullied and how bad not speaking up could destroy my self esteem on that day she said a lot of things that helped me overcome my fear and till this day it is still memorable.

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

My both parents were 100 percent present in my life and they did everything possible to support , guide and discipline me into becoming a better version of myself, they helped me to become a woman of principle support my dream and life goals and with love the discipline me when they noticed I was going astray or made a wrong choice all this helped in shaping my childhood.

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

I have learnt honestly from my parents even as a child not only did they encourage me to be honest at all cost the showed good example by being honest even in their business life, long time ago my father had admitted a mistake he knew could cost him his Job he had a good chance to deny but he didn't he admitted and took responsibility and that simple act earn him the trust of his boss, he wasn't aware that act could earn him his boss trust but he did it because he was a man of principle I learnt that honestly sometimes can be hard but it is better for me to be known for it no matter what it might cost me.

How does their influence still reflect in your life today?

Yes their influence still reflect in my life today it has given me a chance to earn trust from people I meet I can now express myself when am being treated unfairly my life had taken a good shape because of the good people that influence my life right from my childhood, from the depths of my heart I appreciate my parents and all they people that contributed in one way or the other in shaping my childhood helping me grow into a responsible adult whom Iam today I say a big thank you.
