Right:

* My mother loved me unconditionally
* My mother engaged me in open-ended conversation to explore my interests and desires
* My mother treated me as a genius and encouraged me to pursue my passions
* My father challenged me to pursue moderation in all things
* My father explained the value of being typical over exceptional

Wrong:

* I was forced to attend public school and had to suffer through boredom and peer abuse for many years
* My teachers and school administrators prevented me from attending college at an early age (12-13) because they felt it would damage my social skills
* When I discovered my passion (computer programming and engineering), my father saw it as an obsession and removed it from my life in an attempt to steer me towards more typical interests
