Tell us your childhood experience and how it has shaped you? Growing up as the third child in a family of five, I was fortunate to be raised by parents, who despite adhering to Muslim values, prioritised giving us the freedom to pursue our dreams. This upbringing instilled in me a sense of confidence and creativity from an early age. My parents’ approach was marked by unwavering love and respect for our individual interests.
They encouraged me to explore various activities and hobbies, fostering an environment, where I felt empowered to express myself freely. This support extended beyond academics; I eagerly joined the debate club and immersed myself in other social clubs at school. Being able to participate in these activities not only enriched my childhood but also contributed significantly to my personal growth.
It allowed me to discover my strengths, develop critical thinking skills, and build lasting friendships. Moreover, it instilled in me a deep sense of fulfillment and purpose, knowing that I was actively pursuing my passions with the backing of my family. Reflecting on my childhood experiences, I can see how they have shaped my identity and outlook on life.
The freedom to explore and the encouragement to follow my interests have been foundational in shaping my confidence and creativity. These qualities continue to influence how I approach challenges and opportunities, both personally and professionally. My childhood taught me the importance of nurturing individual.
