Personal Childhood Web

I don't think I can ever forget the impact of these individuals in my life:
 My mum
 My mum,dad&brother who taught me spelling and physics
Naturally, most mums are inclined to their children, mine was not exceptional. She is a discplinerian to the core, she belived so much in correcting a child by spanking and then dialogue. As a child, my mum would first discipline me then let me know what I did later. Thanks to civilization that helped in reforming her disciplinay atittude. In the aspect of having a good character and acceptable behaviour, my mum was there for me. I acknowledge her for my good up-bringing. Several times I felt special by my mum's comments about my physique, intelligence and her future wishes for me. My mum has got a strong spirit or drive to do things--This I'm working on achieving.

My dad
He always made me feel special. He understood the impact and methods of discipline more than my mum did. He was always patient with me and allowed me make decisions on my own. He made sure I attended one of the best schools then. My dad's approach to discipline gave me an aura of confidence, he made himself approachable that I would rather discuss issues with him than with anybody else.

My Siblings
My big sis
It was such a great fun growing up in a family of six(one is of a blessed memory now). We shared rooms together,I attended same school with one or two of them, played together and understood each other. Though there was sibling rivalry, we were still in support of each other. My late sis influenced so much my undestanding and interest in Chemistry, my brother on the other hand was my spelling teacher. He taught me some aspect of mathematics. This led to my studying sciences later in seondary school--My siblings influenced my choice of studies then. My baby brother was my companion and play mate. We did everything together, still was always in disagreement. My siblings gave me a sense of togetherness.

Uncle Haruna
Uncle Haruna is a distant uncle though. He was always providing me with my toys--This made me like him then. A lesson here is that a support sysytem must necessarily not be someone close to you. With the toys then, I felt so special whenever I was with my friends cos I always had one of the best toys.

Bisi
Bisi was a childhood friend who was smater than I was. I always wanted to be like her, and felt I could achieve this by always being close to her. We played together and loved each other. As a child, she made me to want to be the best in all I did. I tried to learn how to be organized from her.

  1. Hi Toluwalope. I loved growing up in a big family also. I loved playing with my younger sister and my cousins. I would love to hear more about where you grew up. Where did you say that you lived now? I get confused with everyone being from different places in our group. I love learning about other cultures. I find it fascinating compared to my own.
    Thank, Niki :)
