There are many people in my life I admire, but none more than my father. Despite the many hardships he survived, my father remains a positive influence in my life. During his childhood, my father overcame many obstacles. He has always been supportive and taught me the importance of strong family values and success.
Family comes before everything is my father's motto. Now we all have obstacles when we are growing up, but my father had more than most people. He had an abusive father, and because of that, had to drop out of high school. As far back as he can remember, his father was an abusive alcoholic. Many nights instead of playing football or studying, my father would sit next to his father's side talking to him until he was sober. Searching for work to support his family was his major concern now since his father got fired form work due to the excessive drinking.
