My entry on weekly engagement on wk 113/ reflection on childhood discipline

Good day to all hiveans in @hiveghana community,

It's my pleasure to be writing on this community today, I just came across it as I was scrolling through my ecency app, I was interested to know what the community is all about, so I opened it read about it's goals , I also saw this recently posted post about weekly engagement, I went through it and I loved what I read about it , without much delay I subscribed to the channel and now I'm writing a post to

introduce my self

As well as to

engage on this week's public engagement.

First of all introduction:

I'm Michael okechukwu by name, my hive username is @lutherking147 , I have been a hive writer for about a year now and have been opportuned to engage in so many activities going on on hive as a whole. I'm glad to also be among the @hiveghana weekly engagement participants.

some experiences about my childhood

I grew up in a family of eight persons, we are six as siblings then including my parents, I happened to be the second to last born of the family, so that means four of my siblings are my seniors.

The pictures above are my senior brothers and sisters, below 👇 is me and my junior sister

During my childhood, my mother who is a nurse do force us to drink water early in the morning just as we wake up from sleep, omo to me even to my siblings that was a very huge task/ punishment to us , it wasn't easy for us to be doing that then , but the truth is that it helps a lot in the human body system, we never believed all that but now we know it was for our good , drinking a cup of water every morning has become part of me , I no longer see it as punishment rather as something I love to do hence I have known the benefits.

not only that

During my childhood while in my primary school stage , I hardly read my books, I enjoys playing all kinds of play especially football sports, anytime I'm suppose to read my books if my parents aren't at home I will just keep my school bag then off to play football, but most times I do receive better punishment from my parents for over staying outside playing instead of using some of my time to read and study my books. Honestly to me that was a very big punishment, infact sometimes I do see it maybe my parents don't really love me because if they do they should be allowing me to play anytime hence playing is what I love doing, LoL 😂. However that was my negative thoughts then , unlike now that I have seen the benefits of reading and studying, now I know that if I hadn't stopped playing too much and followed my parents guides maybe I won't have the ability to participate in an engagement like this today because I might not be good in reading and writing including other things.

The last thing I will like to talk about is cooking, my Mom taught all of us how to cook from a very young age both boys and girls, we are 3boys and 3 girls, when it reaches my turn to learn how to cook , my mom always invite me to the kitchen every time she is cooking so I can be helping her and she will be teaching me things I need to know, omo its like that was the hardest part for me , that was a whole of stress to me then , I never enjoyed it at first , but not now anymore because I now knows how to cook different Nigerian dishes, and I do enjoy cooking now unlike them 😍. Let me stop here for now .

thanks all for going through my write up, please drop a comment if there's any part that caught your attention. @hiveghana and all other sponsors of this activity, my regards to you all .
