My mother had a very authoritative nature. It had a system based on strict rules, however it was more enacted according to those rules. My father was almost negligent as he fully believed that his role was to provide and uphold my mother's rules. He worked nights and was often instructed to return home at three or four in the morning and administer physical discipline to sleeping children who could not remember what infraction had earned them this discipline. My parents valued hard work, faith in God, and helping those in need. Those values ​​have remained ingrained in my psyche even as they take a different form in my life. My parents expected me to do well in school and live up to their expectations forever
