Both of my parents had a change of career. My mum was a nurse, and now she's a college lecturer.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My mother worked in advertising and my father was a journalist. But they split up when I was three and I grew up in a single-parent family. My mum brought my brother and I up.
Their educations ended with high school - my father going to work as a clerk and then salesman in a company dealing in printing and stationary, and my mother working as a secretary and then bookkeeper in a firm of wool merchants.
My parents have always done what they've loved, and they've had many different careers.
My father was also a principal of a school and mother was a curriculum advisor. Both were educators.
My mum and dad had worked incredibly hard to afford me an education.
My mother gave up a good part of her career to look after me.
My mother is an office manager, my father a professor of economics and financial planner.
My mum wanted me to go to university.
My father still is a lawyer, and my mom was a teacher and then later a career counselor.
My mother worked at the telephone company during the day and sold Tupperware at night. Evenings, she took classes when she could at University of Maryland's University College, bringing me along to do homework while she studied to get the degree she hoped would offer her and me greater opportunities.
