Someone Who Has Influenced My Life

Even if we haven't grown out of our clothes my dad always works to get us new ones. When ever we worry about the price of something my dad says "Don't worry about the price I'll pay for it". When ever we have to travel far for sports he gets hotel rooms so we can get a good rest before the tournament. My dad works so many extra hours to make me happy and give us a good time.

Everything he does, is for us. The biggest thing my dad has done for me is provide me with the opportunity to go to college. At 19 years old, working a dead end waitress job, there was no way I was going to be able to pay for college. Financial aid was not an option and

I carry respect for my father. When my father was 25 years old, he left the Philippines to move to the United States. His only goal on his mind was to buy a watch and Doc Martens boots. In order to make a living, he worked as a caregiver for 3 different families, every week. He never had a day off for himself. Eventually, he signed up for nursing classes, where he met my mother, fell in love, and began to carry bigger things. He became a father of three girls, and works as the charge nurse in the emergency room for two hospitals. He gave his watch to his little brother back home, and wore the boots out until it was completely wrecked. His goals were achieved, but received more than any man can imagine. Now, he carries love, and

Don't you think dad’s are the best in the world? My dad is the greatest person I know he is funny, motivational, awesome and last but not least caring. He is the type of person who can make you smile or laugh even if you are down. He is hilarious, not just with his words but, with his actions as well. `My dad is liked and loved by anyone who has the chance to meet him, for instance he could be buying a bow for hunting from some random stranger, and they become the best of friends. My dad did not grow up in lower Michigan where we now live and where I was born, he grew up in the Upper Peninsula 2 hours from Wisconsin in Kingsford.

My father is the most special person in my life. He is a very intelligent and kind-hearted man. He runs his own business, and he works hard to support our family financially and emotionally. Although he is busy with work, he manages to make time for me and family. Every day, he takes out time for me to acknowledge my daily life and makes jokes that bring a smile to my face. My father has always been there for me at moments of joy and times of hardship. No matter how terrible the situation might seem, he always can look at the positive aspects of the situation and says, “Stay positive. Be happy. Don’t let the negativity ruin your day!” Therefore, whenever I face struggles and weaknesses, I remind myself that I am strong and live for the day.

Every Father plays a symbolic role in another child’s life, he can always be there for you and provide you with what you need and sometimes what you want. A father can be there for you to teach you the rights and the wrongs in life, even though sometimes you don’t want to believe he’s right. A father can teach you how to become a man and teach you to become an athlete if you choose to be one, he will teach you self-discipline and do everything in his power to make sure you will be successful in what you want to do. Some people, unfortunately do not have a father who can do all of these things for whatever the reason may be. Luckily I was blessed with a father who could do all these things and end up becoming my biggest influence in life and the game of baseball.

He is my father. He is my hero because he went through a lot of stuff when he was younger, but he continues to be happy every day and doesn’t focus on the past. He sees what he has in this moment and is happy with it. He has a beautiful wife and two children. He works hard to make sure that we are happy. Whenever one of us is sad or just hateful, he never fails to make us laugh and put us in a better mood. I hate what happened to him when he was younger, but I feel like it made him stronger. It made him the man he is today, and I wouldn’t trade that for the

For starters, I was a daddy’s girl. I looked up to him for guidance and assurance. He was the one I hustled to for help and the one who endlessly supported me in softball. This strong, gifted man was all that I could ever ask for in a father. Nothing could ever happen to him, right? Wrong!

My dad has been there through thick and thin, mainly thin. He had been in my life for as long as I have lived! My dad is outstanding, outgoing, and funny. Dads can also be stubborn, mean, and honest. My dad in particular is all of the above and sometimes I really dislike that, but hey I can’t change that and I won’t even try either. I love how my dad still gives me a curfew, makes me work on my days off, and doesn’t let me ever be on my phone.

My friend, Alexis, in particular speaks very highly of her father. I've known her since the fourth grade and I've met her dad many times, and seeing the way he helps her through her bad times is so inspiring to see and always makes me genuinely happy, and I think about how my heroes have helped me, as well. They have a strong bond and she always looks to him in times of need. He, indeed, is her hero, and she lets everybody know that, and let's everyone know that nothing can make her think otherwise.

Although he's not around much he is still my father and does little things for me such as; fixing my stereo, checking the oil in my car, and even helping me on math problems. I never realized how thankful I was to have him until he started getting sick and going in and out of the hospital. Some days he would be able to stand

I don’t think that my dad knows how much I really do appreciate him and everything that he has done for me. My dad has been there for me every step of the way. From teaching me the essentials like walking and talking to just the simple joys in life like riding a bike and driving a car. Every step of the way he was right there telling me how proud he was. To some those are just simple words but to me they mean so much more. The one thing I want in life is to make my parents proud and to never disappoint them. But what my dad doesn’t know is how proud I am of him. I’m proud of how he puts family first, always. I can always count on my Dad to be there at everything I do. I’m proud of his sense of humor, and how he lifts the spirits of those around him; how he can lift the spirits of our family when times are tough. My dad did not have the easiest childhood, he lost his mother as a teenager and grew up with just a father but still today he is one of the happiest most joyful hearted men I know and for that I am proud. I’m proud to tell you that he took the time every night when

Yes, my dad is a hero. Putting up with two kids, working in a high stress medical job, fighting cancer, and still being able to manage our forty acre farm. Including doing barn building, carpentry, and handyman repairs while being able to run a backhoe, tractors, and a skid steer. All that while, you guessed it, reminding us of the importance of family, being a good father, and staying humble.

To me the relationship of a father and son is a deep bond that two beings can have. From a young child’s point of view, his father is his main male role model. As a result, many children when young may want to be like their fathers when they grow up. Although this may change as children grow up and are introduced to new ideas and try to figure out who they are, this is where the father is either understanding of his son’s choices or against them. As young adults, we don’t like to be told what to do or be criticized for our choices, so if we find solace in someone else who understands us and does not judge us, we view that person more highly almost fatherly, but though you view that person highly you know that he cannot take the place of your blood father.

In 2002, in a count house in Ohio my mother married Matt. That was the first day of my life I left like I actually had a dad. Yes my real dad was in my life, but there was no way he could compare to Matt. For never having kids of his own Matt knew just how to be a dad. He spent hours playing catch with my brothers and me. He would bring us candy and gifts, not because he wanted to outdo my real dad. He did it because he loved us like his own kids
