As the only daughter with two siblings, my brothers. I have learnt the skill of caregiving. I have always been the one to help my parents cook and also take care of the home. Caregiving encompasses the physical, mental, and economic well-being of an individual.

I learned this between the ages of ten and my early teenage years. I had always wanted to help people around me. My parents saw how enthusiastic I was and decided to nurture me into it. They both taught me books and novels about caring for people and even bought me a nursing book.

As I previously stated, I already had it in me; it was just my parents who nurtured it and brought it out. My mother always visited the less privileged or orphan homes to distribute meals and also the beggars along the street. During celebrations, I was always eager to help out in feeding people who did not have any source of livelihood.

This skill is necessary because it helped me choose my career path, which is nursing. As a nurse, one of the essential qualities is being a caregiver.

Being a caregiver has also made me more empathetic towards my fellow humans and the people I live with. It made me value human life and how little care can drastically positively change a person. It has also made me a better partner in building a family.

Part 3 Questions: Describe a Skill that You Learned in Your Childhood

Question 1:- Where do children learn skills in your country?

There are different ways kids in my country acquire skills. It can be through schools or training boot camps for the rich sect in the country. Menial or blue-collar jobs can be done by going to a workshop in the local area. In Nigeria, a particular sect of the tribe is really good at sales and marketing. They are mostly sent to their bosses’ houses from a tender age to learn everything about marketing and sales.

Question 2:- What are the differences between learning skills independently and from others?

The difference is that when you learn from others, your view of the skill is broadened, and there is mentorship toward the skill. On the other hand, when a skill is acquired independently, there is little room for growth, and the person’s view is distorted.

Question 3:- What essential skills should a child learn?

There are many skills that children should learn that are necessary as they advance in age, such as problem-solving, critical thinking, money management, and so on.

Question 4:- What skills do you think teenagers should have?

The skill I believe an adolescent should have is critical thinking. At that stage, they are confused and still unable to figure out life. Having that alone would greatly impact how their future is shaped. It is during this period that they are put under peer pressure to do lots of illegal or criminal activities.

Question 5:- Who should teach teenagers skills?

I believe there are designed institutions in every community. For religious teens who are Christians, the church is a good place to learn. Also, the school and tutoring are done by professionals in the tutoring field. The most important thing is the parents or guardians.

Question 6:- What are the differences between children’s and adults’ learning skills?

The difference is that children’s teachers are more extensive in putting them through compared to adults who people believe already have such.
