history: I'm thankful for the way my parents raised me. My parents raised me like a king and I'm thankful for that.  Because although I was introverted for most of my life I was pretty confident and successful in my abilities and always did well no matter what I did That is so wonderful that you give your parents the credit and are so grateful for what they did for you!
current: I sure didn't do it on my own...well I did but if I was raised horribly I know I wouldn't be the man I am today.
next: I hope my kids say the same thing about me helping them that much when they grow up.
