I
decided to use Jackie's blog post about Lareau. When she said that in her
household it was a major priority for her and her siblings to go to school I
agree. My parents ever since I was in middle school always made sure that not
going to college was not an option and the standard remains with my younger
brother. My parents just like Jackie’s, “…always taught me that education comes
first.” Especially because when my parents got married my dad only had his
associates in accounting and my mother only went to school for cosmetology.
Which to be honest got us pretty far, my brother and I could never say we
missed out when it came to having a childhood. We went to Disneyworld and
Canada to see Niagara Falls but as my dad would always say. “When you leave
this house I want you to live the same or better. But you should be living
better since you will have your B.A. in college.” I have to say if it was not
for their constant strives to keep us motivated about school. I would not be
where I am today. As I mentioned in my other blog there are moments when I feel
as if they are pushing me to the edge but I know that in their hearts they are
doing it because they love me and only want the very best. Also because they
know that it is when I feel like everything is crashing down when I pull myself
back together and do even better.
