My father was my main influence. He was a preacher, but he was also a history and political science teacher, and since he was my hero, I wanted to follow in his footsteps and become a teacher.
My grandpa was a preacher.
I came from a farming background, and my career was teaching.
My dad worked for a generator company and then UC Berkeley, and my mom was as a dental hygienist and then eventually a history teacher. My uncles and aunts, all of them are elementary school teachers or scientists.
Both my parents are Methodist preachers, I grew up in a church.
My dad farmed, my granddad was a farmer. I wanted to be a farmer.
I was born into a family of preachers.
My dad was a Methodist minister.
My mother and my father were teachers. My grandmother and my grandfather were teachers. This is something I really know about. Even when I was a kid, it was a profession my father couldn't stay in, because he couldn't make enough money.
