Parents

"No one expected you to amount to much," she told me. "Lori was the smart one, Maureen the pretty one, and Brian the brave one. You never had much going for you except that you always worked hard."
I wonder what it would be like to have parents who thought you would never be anything. My parents always said that I could do anything I want but if they didn't I don't know who would believe in me when I don't.

  1. What page is this quote on? I love it and am using it in my book report and I can't find it in my book to cite the page for the life of me. Thanks!
