My dad never went to college. His parents did not think college was important so he went straight to the work force. He works as a truck driver nearly 12 hours a day to provide for a wife and four kids. His dream has always been to send me and my siblings to college to receive the education and opportunities he was never afforded.
Throughout my days in middle school, he would check on me to make sure I was keeping up with my school work. If he caught me slacking off he'd always say the same thing: "Get going, you don't want to end up as a truck driver." Unfortunately, he doesn't usually get home early enough to give me this sentiment anymore. Though my mom occasionally checks in on my progress, my parents' style has been more laissez-faire
