Influential Person

Working hard is a trait that my father has unintentionally taught his children. He has always worked hard for what our family has and our happiness. Dad has a physically stressful job as a bricklayer, but he still brings himself to come home and take care of the lawn and many other household chores. My father is very willing to help anyone that needs help. He spends many of his days off splitting wood for my grandfather and to heat our house. Also, any time snow is deep enough to need clearing; he spends the day plowing with his tractor at people’s homes. Because of him, people are able to leave their house if an emergency arises. One of his biggest goals is to raise his children to be good people in a bad world. He has always gave us his opinion if we were doing something wrong, but let us learn from our mistakes. I have one sister and a half-brother. Scott, my half-brother, did not have an involved father because he left when Scott was two years old. My father was there for him and treated him as his own since Scott was 3-4 years old. He has been, and will continue to be a very good father throughout his life.
