Essay About My Father

1781 Words4 Pages

The person that made me who I am today was my dad because he has been there for me since day one. My dad, always told me to do well in school, but the part that hurt me was when he got a bypass heart surgery when I was about 10 or 11 years old. I had to take care of my little siblings, and we would have to stay at one of my brothers’ godparents for a day or two, or probably more. When it was finally the time to take my dad into a room so we could visit him, they wouldn’t let us which made me mad because I wanted to visit my dad to see how he was doing and find out how he had come out of surgery. But after my dad came out of the surgery room and my mom went in to visit him, in that time, my mom told me that my dad died for a few minutes, but that my dad had told her that he saw my grandfather. I was surprised and also, amazed because I didn’t know if I should believe it or not. My uncle was with me the entire time when my dad went …show more content…

Then what made me realize was that if I ever lost my dad I would be trying so hard to achieve my goal and do everything he had told me to work on during my years in school but even though I did not lose my dad, he would still have pushed me so far so I could be who I am today. He would always tell me to have good grades if I ever wanted something for the year I graduate like my dad said “If you want a car for your graduation or want to go to California with your uncle you have to have good grades and also graduate with good grades”. I told my dad that “Ok I will have good grades and I will try my best to graduate with good grades just so I could get that truck I want but to also make you happy and make you proud”. So that 's when I realized that I had to change my mood with my dad and especially take care of him in whatever he needed like I would give him his medicine that he had to take daily every

    I cried in my room for hours wishing my dad would not go, a whole month without him seemed like the end of the world. I would have no one to play hockey with, no one to tuck me in at night and no one to eat donuts with every Friday. My dad tried to console me but I was too angry to listen to him, I suddenly hated my grandpa for causing my dad to leave me alone. At the airport my dad gave me a long hug and told me to be brave since I was now “the man of the house,” (even though I am a girl), I had to take care of my mom. Promptly this made me suck in my tears and stop acting like a “loser.” It was hard repressing my feelings, seeing my dad leave made my eyes tear severely but I held them back, the man of the house does not cry.

Looking back I now realize it was a problem every child needs, having a loving father. As hard as I tried to fight it, my dad instilled in me the good values and work ethic to be an honest and responsible member of society. He taught me how to be a good husband.

    As a child raised by a single mother it was difficult for me to say that anyone else could have possibly made a greater impact on my life than she did. Regardless the guilt it may cause if I write the truth I have to say that it was not my mother who made the greatest impact on my life. It wasn’t my mother the woman who was there for me through everything, who made sure I had all the things I needed growing up, and gave me her unconditional love and support. The person who impacted my life greatest was not the person it should have been. Instead of it being someone who was there everyday in my life. It was someone who left my side at an early age. Since when I was around four years old I have thought my father passed from having a bad heart from what my mother

  • My Father Has Influenced My Life

    I could have been a super senior or a drop out altogether. I could have been a father struggling with finances. I could have been a drug addict and not be writing this three page essay that ruins weekends, and for that I am thankful that my dad didn’t let things slide that weren’t right. I am kind of happy he threatened me with military school when I was in middle school, I was a handful, I would get kicked out of class constantly but I stayed in school, years later I would be walking down my high school football stadium class of 2016 for my graduation, both my parents stressed it that it was the utmost importance to graduate, both my mother and father pushed me to get good enough grades to graduate. My dad would try to teach me math, I hated math so much it was my least favorite subject, I was more of a history type of guy. He would try his best to help me in school, but i just needed the motivation to get me started, I personally didn’t think i would graduate high school, he gave me the courage to do so, it was a requirement to him, I see some kids drop out or go to adult school to get a G.E.D but having a high school degree was better, I still got to enjoy my years as a teen, having fun with friends, hanging out, I just had to follow certain guidelines to not get me into trouble. In highschool I was never a bad kid though, it was in middle school I was a little shit who thought i runned things but no, my dad was the big boss. The most i probably got in trouble was when I came home really late around 12:00 AM with my girlfriend, but he wasn’t mad at the fact I was out with her very late, it was the fact that I didn’t let him know where I was, he started to loosen his grip about me going out slowly over my four years in highschool, I just needed to tell him I was getting home late, and there shouldn’t be a problem what so ever. Even when I go party my dad wants me to be safe, I tell him who I go with and

  • Argumentative Essay On My Father's Family

    1316 Words  | 3 Pages

    When I think back on all of my family members, one thing that ties them all together is resilience. All but one of my grandparents were directly involved in D-Day operations and all of them survived, but they carried some of their own scars onto their children, either through addictions (alcohol and cigarettes) or their more aggressive attitudes from all they had seen. As the books says, military families end up being overall more resilient to hardship, but also more prone to face problems (Knox 165-167), and mine is no exception. Besides that, they all faced tragedies together: my father’s pancreas was damaged after a sun stroke when he was five giving him diabetes, and my grandfather died when my mother was 14, leaving her to largely raise
