As a child you look up to your parent and think that you want to be just like them now day. My father has and continues to be one of the biggest role models in my life. My father is the hardest working person I know, know matter what is going on he will do what he needs to do to make sure his family is happy and comfortable. Having gone through a lot as a child, my father is one of the happiest and humble people I know. Every day he wakes up with a smile, even though somedays are though he always makes the most of it. He has guided me through some of the toughest times in my life.

My father has taught many lessons in my life. One of being that family is everything, without family we are nothing. Because of his values I am very close with my family. There isn't a night that we don't have a family dinner, I see my cousins at least once a day, my best friends are my sisters. My dad has one brother, he always told my sisters and I that we always need to have each others backs, because one day when he and my mom are gone were all that we will have. Because of these lessons, I have developed a very strong value of family and how important it is to always have a strong bond because at the end of the day there all you have.
