Parents, as we all know are the ones who gave birth to us. Also, they are the first people in which we get familiar with in our lives. They are also the ones who help to sharpen our lives by correcting our mistakes and teaching us the right and wrong things. They help us to know what is good or bad.

How did your parents shape your personality?

My parents helped in shaping my personality by teaching me how to behave well in the society. They let me know the actions or behaviors that are acceptable in the society and influence them on me so I can imbibe those attitudes. It has helped to shape my personality by influencing on others positively. ![C9AEFE1F-496C-459D-BBA7-2DDF19F994DF.webp](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmZEN8vzS2Q5LXQpA34h4ih2FQVdiALVdmGpNMC6HhEVUG/C9AEFE1F-496C-459D-BBA7-2DDF19F994DF.webp) [Source](https://unsplash.com/photos/2-person-walking-on-gray-concrete-pavement-AdPvazshqDU)

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

They play a very huge role when it comes to my overall well-being. One basic thing they do is making sure that I do not lack anything. Truly, they can’t give me all of the things I need but one thing is certain which is that they provide me with the basic things I need and those things are enough to cover my well-being. They provide things like quality education, health insurance and so many other things a child can need from his or her parents.

How do your parents encourage your dreams and aspirations?

For example, my dream is to be a popular artiste all over the world and I’m grateful that my parents are giving me full support. They do this by advising me to sing regularly because practice will make you better. ![1F638232-7558-49A7-8175-923B31577615.webp](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmSKUGuS1pfRF7YVbqGCfYq2tLxEfcdL1tBUR63S5qyKhn/1F638232-7558-49A7-8175-923B31577615.webp) [Source](https://unsplash.com/photos/tilt-selective-photograph-of-music-notes-rPOmLGwai2w) Apart from that, they also enrolled me into a music school where we learn how to sing well and also play some musical instruments. I believe that is enough to keep me going since the two most important people in my life are supporting me.

Share an experience that highlighted your parents sacrifices for you?

There was a time I wanted to record a song and I didn’t have the money. I was so brother Ed but made sure not to ask my parents for the money but to my surprise, they knew something was wrong and they gave me the money for my recording. ![87EE7DB5-0E2F-45F9-965C-C952525E4990.webp](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmdRHSj2saLWJdTGsiYL1tkmK5YGCUomozCQD8hFWoknTJ/87EE7DB5-0E2F-45F9-965C-C952525E4990.webp) [Source](https://unsplash.com/photos/white-wooden-heart-shape-decor--r0LVolzoxg) That was the first and only song I have ever recorded. It means a lot to me because they were supposed to use the money for something else. Instead, they gave me the money to satisfy myself. Kudos to every good parents out there trying to support the dreams of their children. I love the topic of this contest and I will love if my friends @adaeze @bela90 and @shravana also express their views on this.
