Week 3 EOC: My Demographic

My demographic Background...

I have a very different demographic background than a lot of people I know. I come from a small town with no more than 146,000 people with different ethnicities and backgrounds. I also come from a two parent home with one older sister. We stayed in a small bungalow home located in an urban area. I come from a very educated family. My parents always believed in education. Both of my parents have Doctorate degrees and my sister has her masters degree. My parents are a baby boomers and my sister and I are apart of generation y. My parents haven't always had the best in life. for the most part my sister and I lived in a home where at least one parent was working at all times. My father was off of work for a while when I was little and my mother has always been in and out of work, either company would go out of business or she would quit. We haven't had all the luxuries in life but I believe education has played a huge part in my life and how I think.

   

    My parents has always pushed education, even to the point of affecting our extended family. My parents always told me education is the key to success. I never understood the concept of education until I was in fifth grade and it caught on. Now that I am older I understand the true meaning of being educated and striving for the best and the best job you can no matter what the circumstance.  My parents also came from two parent homes and from a large family unlike our 4 member family. My father had 8 brothers and sisters and my mother 5 brothers and sisters. My parents have always been family oriented and instilled strong family values that I will pass on to my children. I come from a very religious home with both my parents in ministry and also working full time. My parents taught me how to pay bills early, cook, clean and to be responsible. I think due to my upbringing I have learned much abo9ut myself and life and I am determined to do the best that I can in life because that is the example I have seen all my life through my parents.
