My parents grew up working class, but in that way that working class families do, they spent a fortune on education to better me.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When I was young, I grew up in a family of working-class people. Not just my parents, but my extended family, as well.
I went to school and made good grades and went to college. So I was afforded an opportunity through my parents' hard work that most people don't have.
My parents came from a poor background and worked their way up because of education. They saw it as a way to succeed. So they cared about me getting straight A grades when I was growing up.
My parents had a great work ethic.
My family gave me the best in education.
My parents were marvelously educated people.
When I was growing up, I was lucky to benefit from a first class education.
I grew up in a household that was a labor household. My dad was a Teamster and a milk truck driver. My mother was a secretary. Neither of them got through high school. But they worked hard and they gave me very, very important opportunities to go to school, get a good education.
My mum and dad had worked incredibly hard to afford me an education.
I come from a middle class family, and my parents weren't too supportive of my career choices.
