I have it, too. Kind of opposite from @romanigypsyeyes’ situation, though - my dad was (is) amazing - many, many honors, including membership in the National Academy of Engineering and honorary membership in the Russian Academy of Engineering. Well-liked and outgoing, too! Whenever I run into people who know Dad, they say, “Wow, your dad is one of the most amazing people I know…” So I knew I could never live up to his accomplishments, as @Marian wrote. And my parents have helped me out financially over the years. So I’m always aware of the fact that I wouldn’t be where I am without them.
