My younger sister retired a few years ago after a 30-year career teaching history and social studies at an inner-city high school.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
My mother graduated from high school at 15 and went to work to support the family because the eldest son went to college.
My sister was always very motherly, babysitting and stuff.
My father was a teacher and my mother also worked in the school, so the family has a background in education.
When I was 19 and dropped out of college for several months, I lived for some time with my grandmother.
I have two older sisters; I'm the youngest.
My grandmother was a teacher, my sister was a teacher, my daughter was a teacher and is now a superintendent in northern California, and my son-in-law is a high school principal. I am surrounded.
I have a daughter who is a sophomore in college and another who is in the 11th grade of high school.
My grandmother lived to be 100 years old. Her grandmother was a slave, yet she was a college graduate in the Spellman class of 1917. She taught art for 50 years and she saved her Social Security checks for her children's education.
My daughter became a teacher right out of college.
Both of my parents had a change of career. My mum was a nurse, and now she's a college lecturer.
