[quote=Anonymous]My parents filed for bankruptcy when I was coming up, we've been evicted, lived just above the poverty line. I had such a fun, happy, loving childhood. I honestly never felt poor. My mom always had the most positive spin for every problem that I never realized there was really a problem. She turned me into a bookworm and rewarded me with every week with trips to the library. We went to swimming as family (including cousins and friends) all the time and my mom was always the biggest kid. She was never ashamed to make a fool of herself to make us laugh. She does the same thing with DC now. The engine on my car went out this past weekend and I am proud to say that I have taken after my mother, because DC actually thinks that taking the Metro is a treat now. From her, I've learned the importance of attitude and perspective. Kids take alot of cues from their parents. If we're smiling and calm, it gives them security.[/quote]
