I grew up in Minnesota. Four generations of my father's people are buried there.
A distant cousin sent me some genealogy report on my father's side, and it's sort of what I suspected. Coal miners for generations... four or maybe five generations.
I mean, I've always felt like a lot of people's misconceptions of me have to do with how I grew up. I grew up poor, and I grew up rich. I think some people who have never met me have a misconception that when I was living with my father when he was successful, that I was somehow adversely affected by his success or the money he had and was making at the time.
I grew up in Minnesota.
I grew up to have my father's looks, my father's speech patterns, my father's posture, my father's opinions, and my mother's contempt for my father.
I grew up in Carol City, Zone 3, for 19 years, in a house with four brothers, a mother and a father.
I'm a black man who grew up in America. I'm a father of four children. They don't all have the same mother. I own a business.
I grew up without a father, and my mother grew up without a father and her mother grew up without a father. So we have this long heritage of growing up without fathers.
We grew up as poor people but we never knew poverty. I still love and miss the Somalia I grew up in. Things changed, when my father became a diplomat later on.
I grew up in Stillwater, Minnesota in a proud Catholic family.
I'm the New York Jew who actually grew up in Minnesota.
I grew up fundamentalist, evangelical, Protestant. Those are my roots, and they are good roots. But it means the Pharisees are my people. I grew up with an image of God that was not helpful -- largely the face of my father expanded.
I knew I could never match my father as a violinist, and there were already four generations of outstanding cellists in the family.
I was born in 1940 in Minnesota and grew up in the country... dirt roads, swamps, lakes, woods.
I grew up in a politically aware household: very civically-minded, good Minnesota liberals.
I was born in St. Louis; I lived there for three weeks and then my father graduated from St. Louis University, so we all got in the car and split. I don't really remember much. I grew up in Connecticut most of my life and then four years in Germany. My father worked for a helicopter company, so we went over there.
I grew up trying to be like my idols, and one of the main people in my life was my father. He played football, and when your father is telling stories about the game he played... Everybody wants to be like their father.
