I feel that every house hold id different. Some preachers are singles parents, other households have 2 different views on how their children should be raised. Raising a well-rounded child is to establish a solid support system at home so that they grows up satisfied with her achievements.

The reactions from each individual were completely different, but I began to somehow embrace these awkward situations and started bragging about what was once an embarrassing fact about myself.…
