I was encouraged to be THE MAN. I'd say I succeeded. Thanks. Bye.

My parents supported me in stuff I wanted to do(football, motorcycles, etc) but never pushed anything on me.

I was forced into 10 years of piano lessons and am still not musically inclined. (For some reason my junior high school also thought I had a nice enough voice to be in their chorus after testing 3 elementary schools and seriously my voice sucks, I have a one octave range. )
Was also forced into Chinese lessons and math lessons for years. I can barely add up cards for blackjack now. I asked for gymnastic lessons and art lessons though. Took a bit of gymastics and minimal art lessons. I wish my parents helped develop my artistic abilities more. |

Encouraged to do anything that was free. Discouraged to do anything that cost money
![]() Played volleyball from 12-18 but I am not sure I was ever really encouraged or forced. My parents jut didn't want me to quit something if I had already started it. I played the french horn in jr high. I wanted to be in drama class but the advanced class was only during the same period as honors algebra. So no drama classes for me. |

My parents were very lenient. If I wanted to do something they'd support me the best they could, although there were financial restraints. I did some art stuff for a year, I played baseball for a bit, and bowled a majority of the time. My dad brought home a pellet gun one day and we had some fun with that for a while.
I really wish I listened to my friends about how music class wasn't singing anymore in 8th grade.. I would be able to play the guitar in my closet right now.

My parents discouraged college. They are both over-educated, and feel they didn't need degrees to be successful. I'm now in college.
I was in dance, music, voice lessons. All encouraged, but when they got expensive - suddenly they weren't supportive anymore ![]()

Trumpet, french horn, band orchestra, choir, softball, tennis and reading.
Wasn't forced into these, liked all of them. Trying to find a cheap trumpet to play again.

I was supported by my parent's in whatever I showed interest in, the two things that my mom introduced me to that was short lived and not something I wanted to do was cub scouts and playing musical instruments, I put the brakes on both. I was ALWAYS encouraged to attend college, in fact it was more of "when you go to college" vs "if I would."
