I knew I wanted considerable education so that I wouldn't have to work as hard as my parents.

My parents instilled in me that life was going to be very difficult and that I'd have to work for everything.

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.

I was the only kid out of six of us to go to college, primarily because my parents could not afford it.

My mum and dad had worked incredibly hard to afford me an education.

I realized I was the one doing all the training, earning the money, and my parents were living off of me.

My parents had a great work ethic.

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

My parents made me believe I could do anything I wanted to do. They were really into empowering me.

I watched my parents go from having very basic jobs to educating themselves, to buying a house. They set a really good bar for what they wanted their kids to achieve.
