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 grew up in a big family. You have to learn to get along with each other... get things done as a family.
I have a pretty good family. But ever since I was little, I just felt like I wanted to be on my own. It was the same thing about school.
Being a part of a large family is just like a little society: those who fight to the top of the heap. We relied on each other and still do. They never discouraged me or told me to get a proper job.
I grew up in a very large, poor family.
As I get older, I tend to put more into family than I used to.
A lot of people think I grew up with just my brother and me, but mom was there even when she wasn't. We had a good household.
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.
I grew up as the only child, and we did not have a large family. So for me and my mother, our friends tend to become our family.
I grew up in a great family.
