I had worked my whole life. Until I became a mother, that's the only way I measured my value.

I was a disadvantaged child from a non-educated family, yet I had the advantage of being in the company of great teachers.

I learned the value of hard work by working hard.

My parents taught me the value of money and working hard. And I kind of got that in me intuitively.

I was blessed to have a mother and father that recognized the value of education.

So the ethic I was taught in school resulted in the path I chose in my life following school.

I really value people besides parents who nurture kids.

My whole life was geared toward being a highly educated person.

The only thing that mattered was what you were to do in life, and it wasn't about money. It was about teaching, or learning.

My parents grew up working class, but in that way that working class families do, they spent a fortune on education to better me.
