[quote=Anonymous]In my family, all the teachers would tell us they were happy to have a lastname in their class as they know we would be smart, helpful and fun. It was expected that we would perform well. For some, that might feel like pressure- but I was the littlest and it made me proud to live up to my family name.

I had a couple teachers who cornered my mum and told her I was stubborn//strong willed and she told them both 'good. That way, she won't get pushed around in life' and both teachers walked away, aghast. She told me about it and was proud, so it made me proud, though honestly I don't know what they could have thought I was stubborn about? Another time another teacher said it (all in grade school) and my mother said 'what do you want me to do- beat it out of her?' and shook her head and walked away (guess you can't say that today- as it's true for some parents).

I don't know that you remember every individual good/bad thing said, but the cumulative total makes you who you are/you start to believe the narrative.[/quote]
