I come from a middle class family, and my parents weren't too supportive of my career choices.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
My parents were determined to move into the middle class.
My parents grew up working class, but in that way that working class families do, they spent a fortune on education to better me.
I don't have siblings, which is probably the biggest reason why my parents were able to give the attention to my career that they did.
My parents were very proud of me. After they passed, my career doesn't mean as much to me.
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 didn't have the opportunities that my wife and I have now, from a quality of life standpoint.
Fortunately, I grew up in a family that was grounded. My mother and father knew how to guide my career and look out for my best interests.
I'm from a middle class family, but my father squandered all the money, so I didn't really run around with rich people.
My parents were neither wealthy nor academic, but we lived comfortably and they were always extremely supportive of my academic efforts and aspirations, both at school and university.
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.
