Throughout my youth, I was exposed to many events that shaped me to become the man I am today. Though some of these events were far from pleasant, something good always came out of them in the long run. I might have not realized what they taught me at that very moment in time, but when I look back on my life I realize that it made an impact on me somewhere down the road. Sometimes I ask myself whether or not I would always use these lessons to my advantage; maybe I would ignore that it happened, or do the one thing I wasn't supposed to do in the given situation. In Angela's Ashes you, the reader, were given the opportunity to read about the lessons I've gotten from a situation, and so I'm asking; have I ever taken those lessons for granted?

Morals and values are instilled in a child from a young age. Who you are as a person today is only a reflection of who your parents were yesterday. The only measure to realize who you are as a person is through the opinion of others. I believe that you, Frank McCourt learned your lessons at a young age, and fully embraced them.
