Was there an expectation for you to attend higher education? Did you participate in any form of higher education? If yes, how did you pay for it?
Education was a very high priority in my family. My parents are both highly educated and there was always an expectation to earn a four-year degree. There was also an expectation to attend graduate school at some point, although there was less of an emphasis on a graduate degree than on a bachelor’s degree. I have a bachelor’s and master’s degree, both in public policy. Because of how much my parents prioritized and valued higher education, they paid the full cost of attendance for me to attend college and graduate school.
