Both of my parents graduated from high school, both attended college, both have government jobs now. They've always been very adamant about me finishing high school and finishing college.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My mother graduated from high school at 15 and went to work to support the family because the eldest son went to college.
My parents have always done what they've loved, and they've had many different careers.
Before high school ended, I started applying to college. It really wasn't even a choice because of the brainwashing of my parents.
Luckily my parents were not against my ambition, they've always been very supportive. But they were adamant that I went to university first.
Their educations ended with high school - my father going to work as a clerk and then salesman in a company dealing in printing and stationary, and my mother working as a secretary and then bookkeeper in a firm of wool merchants.
My parents came from a poor background and worked their way up because of education. They saw it as a way to succeed. So they cared about me getting straight A grades when I was growing up.
My father was a teacher and my mother also worked in the school, so the family has a background in education.
My parents were neither wealthy nor academic, but we lived comfortably and they were always extremely supportive of my academic efforts and aspirations, both at school and university.
I come from a middle class family, and my parents weren't too supportive of my career choices.
My father had not even completed high school when he started as an office boy working for the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, and I am not sure that my mother completed high school.
