Introduction

Hello everyone, my name is Ade and on this platform, I am known as @adeade. I am here to participate in this discussion about how our individual parents are our pillars of strength. This topic is, of course, a personal reflection and before I delve into the main discussion, let me quickly describe some key words in this piece of writing:

• Parents: These are the two persons ( father and mother) of whom one is an immediate descendants.

• Personality: this is a set of unique psychological attributes and social qualities that distinguish one person's character from another.

• Well-being: the state of mind by virtue of one's health, happiness or prosperity.

• Aspirations: these are one ardent desires.

• Sacrifice: this is something that is given aways in order to receive something worth more in value or to avoid loosing something worth more in value.

Having describe the keywords above, I will begin to write out my views by responding to some questions below:

👪 How did your parents shape your personality?

Since parent are usually a child's first contact, my case is no different. I learnt most of my psychological attributes from them. As I grew up, I always tried to do things the ways my dad does and that made me to inculcate most of his habits, if not all. In other words, my personality is a subset of my father's.

👪 What role do your parents play in your overall well-being?

My parents are the main players in my overall well- being. My father was always providing me with the right mentorship I need for a balance state of mind ( and he still does). My parents always give me the psychological assurance that they are always there for me. This built up my confidence anywhere I am. As one of the popular slangs in my locale, " I no dey shake."

👪 How do your parents encourage your dreams and aspirations?

As I have said in my preceeding response above, my dad was my main mentor. One of his attributes is that he does not condemns. He always guide me to achieving my aspirations. He always help me draw out the rules that govern the game, since he always see any aspiration as a game to be won.

👪 Share an experience that highlighted your parents' sacrifices for you!

There are lots of experiences that I can share, but because of the constraint I will share this one that always play like a record in my mind. There was a year I had a surgery, my late mom had to abadon her studies at the University to stay with me day and night for all the 43 days I spent at the hospital. No one can make such a sacrifice except one's parents.

In conclusion, our parents laid the foundation and set the pillar upon which our personalities are built. They are our first contact and we usually see them as one of our role model.
