My Parents' Involvement in my Education

     My parents were not involved at all in my education; they only participated in what was required of them. However, they did pressure me to do well and stressed the importance of school. One of the things that I really wished that my parents had done was participated more in my extracurricular interest; they only attended one of my chorus concerts and maybe an art exhibition. Additionally, I was never able to take lessons in anything because my parents didn't want to spend the extra money for things that "didn't matter". I really did appreciate that my parents were kind of laid back about my education, but I wish they had stepped up when I asked for their participation and help.
