My mother and my father divorced during the time that my father was getting his Ph.D. at Tulane.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
My father still is a lawyer, and my mom was a teacher and then later a career counselor.
My father was a teacher and my mother also worked in the school, so the family has a background in education.
Both of my parents had a change of career. My mum was a nurse, and now she's a college lecturer.
My dad was a singer in a band and neither of my parents went to college, and I ended up getting into Harvard and was the first person in my family that went to college and it happened to be Harvard.
My parents were divorced when I was three, and both my father and mother moved back into the homes of their parents. I spent the school year with my mother, and the summers with my dad.
My father was also a principal of a school and mother was a curriculum advisor. Both were educators.
Unusually for an Indian man of his generation, my father, being aware of my mother's intellectual abilities, encouraged her to go abroad by herself to obtain a Ph.D.
I was the first person to go to university from my family.
My father was on the faculty in the Chemistry Department of Harvard University; my mother had one year of graduate work in physics before her marriage.
My mother had been a grade-school teacher, and my father had an eighth-grade education.
