What experiences in life helped you grow the most?
I was raised by parents who held me responsible for my actions. It was often unpleasant, since I was a rowdy kid. I learned early I was but a small cog in a machine. My behaviors had consequences, good or bad. Things went better if I behaved as expected. Being happy and having fun were not the greatest priority. Though I did not appreciate it at the time, I learned there is satisfaction and great value in learning to work. I am grateful for my parents for teaching me lessons that have helped me so much in life.

My parents taught me that sometimes the things we want have to wait till we have the things we need, as a result I have always put my needs ahead of my wants and I know the difference.
