We grew up in a country home. So I like
to call us farmers. We raised chickens, a vegetable garden, and tie-dyed
all of our hand-me-down clothing. We learned and loved to live close to
nature, reinforcing our values of quality time together. Our family’s
animals that I coddled and grew up with have instilled in me many values
of motherhood. When I was a child, I would put shirts on my cats, hats
on my dogs, brush their hair, feed them and, above all, love them. As
I grew older I transferred this care to my fellow human beings. Today,
I love to love people. I love to feed, hold and baby people. I owe a lot
to those animals.
I feel connected to my socio-economic status, which I have identified as “lower-middle” class. When I was growing up, money was never a topic of discussion. I never knew there was a slight lack of funds, but that was because the things my family valued, which have been instilled in me, don’t require money. Time spent together, either in silence, or rowdy conversation overlapped with laughter has always been valued in my family over everything else.
