An inheritance
Oft about money
At least that’s what the word conveys
But inheritance is so much more
We inherit our genes
From our mother and father
Our habits from those around us
We inherit our attitude
Our opinions
And mindset
And unless we make that concerted effort
We stick with what we have already gained.
If you are nice
Go thank those who raised you
If you are charitable
Go thank them as well
If you are nasty, malicious and bitchy
You have a choice
Do you do what you inherited?
Do you stick with how you are?
Or do you change to be who you want to be?
We inherit belongings, ideals and genetics
We also inherit free will.
I agree… From divorced parents, I got to choose many traits. Racists to hippies loving all and freedoms. It was an interesting childhood.

Yep. I teach and you see the students who elect to grow to be more than their parents (in whatever form). Some need to, others just become a better version of decent folk.

I hated school. It was very hard for me. I always had hope for some of the students that went there. I hope my own children take just a few of the values I try to infuse into them daily. Hopefully not just by telling but showing also.

School is not for everyone and certainly not the only way to be successful. I find it such a shame when others suggest school is the only way. Our children recieve the biggest amount of learning from their parents, usually without realising it.
