[quote=Anonymous]My late father was raised in poverty and was the embodiment of a self-made, American success story. His ticket out of generational poverty was through a college education. I was raised solidly UMC. My mom was MC. - the value of education and expectation of a college degree - manners and etiquette - ability to make polite, respectful and intelligent conversation with adults - clear, articulate speech - personal neatness and pride in appearance - strong work ethic and belief that intense focus and dedication and willingness to work hard reaped rewards - respect and kindness for what we'd now call service workers whether your co workers or people you employ (my great grandma was a "domestic" and a member of a wealthy family's staff) [/quote]
