Blessed with Mom and Dad's remarkable genes, raised on big words and big, iconoclastic attitudes, Larry and I, before entering kindergarten, knew who we were, what we wanted, and how we would get there.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My father and mother treated us children as intellectual equals, thus greatly bolstering our self-confidence and our interest in ideas of all kinds.
I wanted to grow up to be just like my father.
When I was growing up, my mother would take me to plays and museums, and we'd talk about life. Those times helped shape who I became.
I was blessed to have a mother and father that recognized the value of education.
I had a really wonderful upbringing. We were a tight family. It was wonderful to grow up with so many siblings. We were all just a year or two apart, and we were always so supportive of each other. I learned everything from my older brother and sister and taught it to my younger sisters.
What we did in our childhoods makes us who we are now.
My mother and my father were very nurturing and wonderful examples of how to live your life.
We learn much of parenting from our own parents. My love for my father deepened profoundly when he was kind, patient, and understanding.
I was just raised in humble beginnings: three brothers together and a single mother who raised us the best she could.
I am lucky to have had an attentive, curious and loving dad and heart-smart, down-to-earth, gifted mother. They changed the outlooks of their own lives and have never forgotten the people and organizations that helped them dream bigger than their circumstances should have allowed.
