My parents never lied to me.
They taught me how to read and critically observe my surroundings.
They introduced me to the library and encouraged me to use it.
When they discussed controversial subjects with their peers, they did not ask me to leave the room.
They never preached or lectured to me, but often questioned my understanding.
When difficult subjects arose, they offered clear and logical discourse.
We sometimes disagreed, but they were always willing to listen and discuss.
They introduced me to new ideas and allowed me to do the same for them.
