My parents are the hardest working individuals I know. Both, my mom and my dad, made and continue to make sacrifices to this day. It all started about 5 years ago. My Dad moved to San Diego to acquire more income for me and my family, leaving my mother with 3 children. This was a very difficult time for each of us, but I would like to think for my Dad even more. Coming from a small island, Guam, he had to adapt to this whole new culture in Southern California, by himself. He had to work, eat, sleep by himself and make time out of his day to talk to his kids. This was an emotional time for him too because I know after a couple years without seeing your kids, life…
Even though my father worked his hands to the bone, he still made time for his family. He took us on vacations, made time to shoot eighteen holes, and transformed me into an excellent fisherman. The time we spent together on rivers and in streams made me see nature as divine.…
My father has always had the motivation and the positivity to keep moving forward. He has gained a lot of respect from his parents and sister. They started respecting him when they realized how positive he was in not so great circumstances. They decided to help him out and now my dad is the head of a tax agency. Having people help you along the way because of your positive can help you so much in life in such a variety of ways.…
“Everything I have done in my life has been to provide for my children.” That’s what you’ll hear my dad say if you ask him about anything he’s accomplished in his life. He is a very proud and hardworking man. Even now, at 60 years old, he works harder than most 20-year-olds do. As a father he has always told us, “Nothing is handed to you; everything you have must be earned.”…
As a matter of fact, someone’s success is all of his/her accomplishments and rewards. Mostly rings, championships, and trophies are what everyone looks forward to in their future. Trophies are a really good way to show that I have success. Having accomplished my last job, I will get paid for my success and work I had to put into it. None the less, accomplishments and success are the best thing ever.…
Growing up, I had no idea what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. My whole world evolved around sports, but I knew the chances of making money playing a sport were slim. My father owns a pipeline business, and my mom owns a boutique shop so I knew I would go into a business management plan. At ten years old, my father always took me to work with him on the weekends. That was one of the best things I got; young experience is what I needed. He taught me to operate heave machinery, mix concrete, work on pipelines; moreover, he taught me what it takes to be a self-mannered, respectful employee. Since then, I knew what to do with my life and I am very lucky to have such inspirational parents to motivate me for my goal in life. I look up to them in so many ways and appreciate all they have done for my siblings and I. Hopefully, I can provide for my family like my father has for ours.…
I was born in the suburbs of the Bronx and raised in the Brooklyn, New York. At a young age, I never understood the amount of hard work my parents had gone through to raise me and give me a great life I have today. They emigrated from South Korea to this country in hopes of the American dream. They had their definition of the American dream as working hard to become successful. They were strong believers in that hard work would result in great results and rewards. My parents took huge sacrifices in order to make it to this great nation. They had left their families, their jobs, and their culture to start a new life. My father went from being a chemical engineer to making a small living as a delivery man for a clothing company while my mother worked as nurse in a small clinic in downtown Brooklyn. We didn’t live in the best of neighborhoods, but it was sufficient enough to provide shelter and food. It took a lot of pain and long hours for my parents to provide for me and they have taught me the most crucial life lessons. They told me that the most important lesson is life is to always put other people before you. They explained how if you are always there to help others and be there for another person, they will return the favor to you. This helped shaped my identity as to be a caring person who is always willing to help out those in need. Throughout the rest of my life, I would encounter this life lessons…
myself, working hard, and working hard to succeed; that was what my father instilled in me.…
My family was never a rich family to begin with. My father, mother, and I migrated from Dominican Republic in 1998, following my father’s side of the family to create a better life for themselves and their kids in the near or far future. Like most families who’ve come to a new country without a dime, my parents tried to get jobs to get us an apartment just for ourselves. The struggle they had gone through to get to where I am today is unbelievable, and I am so grateful for everything they have done. During my life, my parents have had to go though some hardships with the downpour of the economy after 9/11, to my dad getting sick and not being able to work for a couple of months.…
In this assignment I will write about my knowledge and understanding on confidentiality. There are different types of confidentiality. It is the right of every parents/carer that information about them is respected, kept in confidence, safely, securely and in the accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998. A teaching assistant needs to understand how important it is to respect confidentiality if we went to gain and keep respect of other adults and parents in the settings, although it is the most difficult to maintain. There is also legislation about confidentiality which gives children and their family their right to privacy.…

Throughout childhood, my dad traveled to and from Arizona to work. He came back to Montana every other weekend. He did this because his first priority was to provide the best life for my brother and I. He and mom agreed that they wanted my brother and I to grow up in Montana. My dad’s business was in Arizona, and he felt he needed to stay there to work. My dad taught me about hard work and the importance of taking care of family. Another great thing I learned from my dad is how to enjoy the outdoors, skiing, hunting and…
This led to him living in poverty and put him at a severe disadvantage. Given the time period he grew up in, he became an outsider. He was born into a well-off family, but the death of his father put my grandfather and his mother into a much lower social class, in which he did not have as many benefits as he would have had had his father been alive. His perseverance despite these unfortunate circumstances and his journey to make a better life for his future family are inspirational to me and show me that with all of the opportunities I am afforded I have no excuse to not make the most of them. I do not have to worry about putting myself through school, much less putting food on the table for my family from a young…
The third reason why I admire my dad is his insane work ethic. My dad has been working seven days a week for many years and tries his…
I am not a rich person by any standard of our society. My parents are blue collar people that come from a lineage of blue collar people, working hard and living paycheck to paycheck. Never complaining, but doing their best to raise their family and enjoy the things in life that money cannot buy. My parents are also two of the most giving and generous people I have ever met. From an early age I learned that if you have something someone needs you give it, no questions asked, no grumbling, no whining. They taught me that if you are blessed with an abundance you share it with those who are lacking, that to be a friend meant giving of your whole self in any way possible, whether it be something simple like sharing a meal with someone or taking someone in that has no home.…
