Think about your most vivid childhood memories. What makes them so memorable? Were members of your family present? Take a few moments to reflect on these memories.

Try to remember a time a member of your family was involved in your education during your school-age years. This could have been a family conference, attending an athletic event or any other education-related event. How did this make you feel?

Sometimes, we don’t realize our customs or behaviors are different from others until we get a peek into another family’s world. Do you remember a time, maybe a special event or holiday where you realized that not all families are the same?

Think about your life now. How did your family influence who you are today?
