The first value, that I gained, is Diligence....My Dad is a hard working person; he makes sure he’s always on time where ever there is a job to be done. Even when he is very busy I can see that he never say no to anyone who needs help from him because he is a white-hearted person who wants the best for others. This characteristic helped me a lot as I used to be different but with his support I can now handle facing hard times and work. Im always punctual to class and I'm sure it will benefit me in my carier path that I have chosen.
The second value that I added to my characteristics is Talents. I remember that there was lots of stuff that had to be fixed at home....my dad was always a self learner. He never gives up till he has pondered his mind over something that needs to be repaired. Being an engineer...he has tought me many things and how to repair them.
The third value that he showed me was Discipline....My dad has always been a stern and strict person. Even my friends are afraid to face him...I shiver in fright at the sight of his angered red eyes and as he approches me if I have done or said something wrong... But he always used to say..."I treat you this way...hit you at times just becouse I care for you, hoping 1 day you will change and realise your mistakes. I never want my son to go the wrong way...all I want is to be proud of you 1 day"...that sentence he spoke gave me a turning point where I repent from my sins.
The fourth value he gave me was Dignity, my dad was always a proud man...he is a succesful man in education and work....won the best eng. award 3 times in his company... he brought up and educated two children being a single parent....he did his best in everything. My dad said "I want to raise you both up with everything I have left...and when I see you both at the top...I will die with dignity and a bright smile with nothing to regret..becouse I brought my childrens up well" now I can proudly say...I am who I am becouse of my father who brought me up to achive greatness one day. though im not there yet...it will come soon.
The fifth value he gave me was responsibilty...being a father obviously has to be responsible....and he has groomed me to who I am now....I remember there was a time when I faced some problems, he never gave me a helping hand...he told me "you have to learn to face them yourself...you are old enough and you have to be responsible for your actions...so now you face them but dont make it worst...always try your best to solve it" has tought me to always face my own problems....now when I face any situations...I am able to manage them without help...I could be in the worst sittuation but im able to endure them becouse my dad has make me strong to face and walk in this world.
Dad...I thank you for the man you have mad me...thank you for the strenght and courage you gave me to face this world....thank you for loving me despite all that you have been thru..I know I have done and said many hurtfull things that might had hurt or disappointed you. but you must know that I have always loved you and kept you in my heart...though I dont show it to you...I respect you so much...and I appreciate everything that you have done for me.....thank you dad... one day you will be proud of me....I'll do anything to make it happen....that the only way I could ever repay you father....I love you so much.
