My family has made a real impact on how I see the world because of they taught me to read and write. This is the case because I see the world more analytically, I tend to not read much complicated works/novels/books because of the simpler books I read as a child.
However, this doesn’t imped me from doing the things that I want, this allowed me to better myself in the literary sense later down the line when I was in elementary, middle and high school. This further allowed me to see the world around me better as I began to become more developed in writing and reading.
The more I learned in the literary the more I began to understand as a person the more I read with the more I added to my vocabulary. This allowed me to understand more of the complex instructions in order to understand my Computer Engineering major classes more. My parents taught me the basics so that I would be able to develop my literacy myself so they wouldn’t force that upon me and I thank them for that.
How lovely that your parents gave you such a good solid base to start from. That’s so important, and not all that common unfortunately. Good for you and them!
