THE PERSON I ADMIRE THE MOST

Over time, there have been several people who have influenced
various aspects of my life, based on their personal characteristics,
accomplishments, and values. I have been privileged to have had numerous
teachers and professors who I respect for their patience and intelligence.
There are artists that have inspired me by their natural talents and original
creativity. I value many political leaders, who have inspired me by their
contributions to society, and their ability to change our futures. Of all the
people I have encountered in my life, the person I admire most is my father.
As the youngest girl in my family, I always considered myself to be
Daddy's little girl. Growing up it always made me sad to see so many of my
friends and neighbors without a father or father-like figure around. This
helped me appreciate how my father always takes an interest in his children's
lives. To this day, he still professes how proud he is of me and my siblings,
and is still there to support us in whatever we are involved in. In every aspect
of my life my father continuously pushes me to excel. Whenever I feel like
giving up, or have a question or a concern, I know I can always call on him for
advice.
Furthermore ,from him I have also learned that sometimes you have to
put others needs ahead of your own, but not to the point they will begin to
take advantage of you. His strength seems to be unbreakable during hard
times, and is extremely determined to accomplish anything he sets his mind
on. I hold great esteem for how he stands up for what he believes in, and will
never back down. I have always admired his open mind, compassion, and
sense of understanding. He is a very reserved man, but has a great sense of
humor, and always knows how to put a smile on my face.
As a child, my father communicated with me as an adult. He spoke to
me as if I can understand everything, and listened to me with real
consideration. My opinion was always counted. He would challenge my
thinking, even as he instilled morality into my thought process. He is definitely
a man of wisdom; a great teacher. When I needed explanation, he would
provide it in a gentle and understanding way. He was firm, but fair. I was

allowed to make my mistakes; he was always there to offer the wisdom of

those mistakes with a loving hand.
As a conclusion, my final reason for my dad being the person I admire
most is that he loves me. No matter what happens, he always has, does, and
always will love me. He may get mad at me but he will never stop loving me.I
love him, too.
