SEC-S14 / W2 | "Parents, Our Pillars of Strength 👪"

Greetings to all steemains!!

I hope you all are good and enjoying your lives. Now second week of Steemit Engagement Challenge Season 14 is near to end, hopefully you are enjoying this season too. We are very excited to host this season. Today I'm here to be a part of this amazing contest SEC-S14 / W2 | "Parents, Our Pillars of Strength 👪".

Before starting the contest I would like to invite @aaliarubab, @uzma4882 and @drhira for the contest. Let's start today's topic

👪 How did your parents shape your personality?

My parents were slightly strict, or in the era of my childhood, most of the parents were strict. They fixed many rules for me and my siblings, and now I realise that all of them were for character building.

My father didn't force anything on us, but my mother was strict in this way. She woke up early; she didn't allow us to sleep after 9 a.m., even on vacation. She divided house chores among our siblings, and everyone was responsible for that work. These small restrictions made us responsible people.

They always encouraged our good deeds and punished us for bad habits. Kids are soft and innocent; their character building starts at birth. Giving proper time to them, solving their problems, and caring for and loving them make their character strong and good, and my parents provide for all the above-mentioned needs.

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

I don't remember a single day when they didn't feed us or leave us alone. They fulfilled all our needs in a good way and tried their best to give us all the facilities of life that they could.

When I got sick, they cared for my health. I had great interest in my studies, so they paid extra attention to them. They always support me at every step of my life.

My father was a great supporter. In my personality, there are many good qualities that come from him. Children get many things from their parents. He died early, when I was 19 years old. After his death, I realised what he did for his family. I loved my father the most, and he was the best father.

👪 How do your parents encourage your dreams and aspirations?

My father wanted me to become a doctor. He helped me with my studies when I needed it. Whenever I asked about anything regarding my studies, my father always fulfilled it. He had many dreams with me, as all parents do.

In extra-circular activities, I didn't participate as I was less confident, but my father encouraged me to do so. I had singing skills, so I participated in their encouragement and gained confidence.

If my father had lived during my study period, I would be in a better place. Alhumdulilah, I'm still in a good state, but I'm talking in the educational sense.

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

When we are young as kids, we don't understand what kind of financial problems are at home because our parents don't show them to their kids.

Once I asked for a new dress to wear, my mom said I have many unstitched suits in the cupboard. Choose which you want and stitch it for yourself. I replied, Give me money. I want to buy from the market.

My mom said your father has no extra money; he was facing a loss in business, which is why he sold his car too. This crisis time period was more than a year, but as kids, we did not feel anything. They were continuously fulfilling our needs.

My parents always sacrifice their comfort to ease us. They worked hard to give us better life and future. We can't count their sacrifices which they did throughout their life. My life and everything is the result of their efforts and sacrifice.

Being a parent myself I can easily understand how happily parents prefer their kids on their lives. May Allah blessed every child like my parents.

That's all from my side and I think I have tried to give answers of all questions given in the Contest. Thanks for giving time to my post.

Best regards
