My parents were the first in our family to go to grammar school. My grandparents were in service.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I was the first one in my family to go to college.
My mother had been a grade-school teacher, and my father had an eighth-grade education.
My father was a schoolteacher and my mother came from a teacher's family.
My mother was a schoolteacher and very keen that I go to a city school, so although it was fairly impoverished times, I traveled every day to the Auckland Grammar School.
My father was a teacher and my mother also worked in the school, so the family has a background in education.
My parents were in high school when I was born. My mom was 16, my dad was 17. They were kids, at the very beginning of coming into their own and finding themselves.
I'm the first person in my family to go to college.
I was the first person to go to university from my family.
All four of my grandparents were educators, my mom was a school nurse, and I went through the public school system.
As far as I could tell, I was the first person anywhere in my family tree to go to university.
