Abstract
Much of who I am and the directions I take in my career have come from my family. This chapter focuses on how parents and family have influenced my career goals as an educational scholar and my belief in teaching about citizenship in a democracy. Family gave me a strong sense of identity and put forth the value of contributing to the community along with advocating for civil rights.
