Relationship

There are people in my life who are very close to me to the extent that their sentiments and wellbeing affect me to a significant extend. The close bond I have established with these people over a period of time has meant that our relationship means a lot to me.

First of all is my father whom I consider to be my mentor and role model. I am so close to him that I sometimes I challenge myself to make him happy. This is because I would not want to be seen as a bad or irresponsible son. As a result, I find it difficult to disagree with him without this feeling that I am being bad or simply irresponsible or unreasonable. This sometimes affects my peace of mind or emotional health. However, such experiences are normally short lived and I soon work out a way of engaging him and making my point heard in a polite manner. Sometimes, I engage other family members to put my point across.

Another person I really love and is closest to is my sister. I feel she needs guidance and direction especially from me as her elder brother. Driving her to school makes me feel that I am just fulfilling part of my responsibilities to her. Whenever she falls ill, I normally feel disturbed as I struggle to ensure that I do my best to be close to her and give the moral support she requires. This sometimes this has had a psychological drain in me and in such circumstances I have to really struggle so as to go on with my life as usual, especially my studies.

My manager at our family gas station is another person who has influenced my life to a great extend since I got to know him. This guy is charming, humorous, sociable and always ready to guide me with regard to my responsibilities as his assistant. As a result, I have been able to learn a lot in the short period I have been around and the bond between us is very strong. I always look forward to meeting him every evening. Sometimes, it distracts me from my classes but it is something I take in my strides and have been able to manage it well.

will give myself a score of 8 given that I still have to learn how to manage my emotional health and remain focus in my studies. I believe my attachment to this people is good for me, but again, I should work on ways of making myself capable of avoiding any distraction that this relationship can best be handled without too much of a struggle.

Handling Money

With regard to how I spend money, I honestly have my family to thank. Since when I was young, my sister and I were brought up under strict tradition of not engaging in what could be deemed as wasteful spending of money by our parents and relatives .Any spending that could appear ostentatious was frowned upon and my father could not waste time to give a well-deserved lecture on the virtue of being careful with what we bought. I would say that I have grown up with this virtue and I normally ensure that I spend within my means and avoid buying things that I do not really need. I do not have any credit or debit card debts neither am I burdened with penalty or interests fees that are stressing my life.

I will score myself 9.5. I feel I deserve this score given that I am comfortably managing my finances and is not having any struggles. I am of the opinion that even when I am finally living an independent life from my family members, I will be able to manage my finances well as I am doing presently. I do not think that my good money management skills is out of the presence of my family who are always cautious with the way they spent their own money, and would like to see children take up this virtue after them.

I do also feel that I am an independent minded individual. I have steered clear of any persuasion from close friends and to this end peer pressure has never influenced my spending habits. Looking into the future, I still believe I will be able to stick with my current outlook regarding money and even pass the same to my children someday.
