Two beliefs that I have been taught are that it is ok to make mistakes and that men do not necessarily need to be the main income in a household. Everyone learns from their mistakes and they try to be different from others. My grandparents were very strict with my parents and they were taught that mistakes make you weak and that mistakes were not aloud to be made in society. They believed that mistakes make you weak and that people will judge you accordingly. As a result of how my grandparents treated my parents they tried to be better and learn from my grandparents. I was taught that mistakes only make you stronger and that it is something that you learn from. In my family, mistakes are seen as a good thing, because it teaches you to be better and improve. Mistakes are there to be made and you can make a hundred mistakes if it means that you will master the thing you are struggling with. If you make mistakes you learn not to make that same mistake again and it gives you a chance to see other mistakes you might have made in the past. Everyone learns from their parents and they do their best job to raise us, but in the end we do not notice all the hard work, we notice the mistakes and we learn from them so that we have a chance to be better, make our own mistakes and later in time improve on them. The second lesson my parents, as well as my community has taught me is that men do not have to be the main income in a certain household. Most of the people in my community have hard working parents, but some of them envy their mothers more than their fathers, because the women most likely went to college and got a degree that lead to a higher paying job than the father. In my household, my parents run a business and they make the exact same income, nobody is classified as the breadwinner or the better person, they are equal. Today we see a lot of families were either parent can be the breadwinner or where both of them are. A few generations ago, women were only seen as the housekeeper or “stay at home mom” they were not allowed to work, thus men were seen as the person who brings the money and food, and only men were allowed to be the breadwinners. Some families today still believe in this statement and they teach their children the same way, but my family decided to believe in equality where no person is better or higher than the other.
