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.…
When I started coon hunting I at the age of 14, the person that got me into coon hunting was my dad. The reason why I stared going is that I seen him going a lot by himself, and I felt that it must be pretty lonely out there in the dark by yourself. had a year under my belt of just pleasure hunting, getting know my dogs voice, and learning the rules of competition coon hunting My dad ask me if I would like to get in competition coon hunting. The first thing that came to mind was heck yes! little did he know that this would become into a life long interest The next day were packing bags and heading to Kentucky for competition coon hunt. It was a 3 hour drive there and when we got there, we saw all sorts of people there just for a coon hunt.…
My parents have impacted my growth with education, they always push me out of my comfort zone and encourage me to try new things. Another way they have impacted my growth is taking me on trips and experiencing new cultures. My parents have given me the skills to have a great self confidence. There’s not one particular person that I can pick who I have learned from the most I have learned lots from my entire family. Every member in my family has taught and supported me in some way during my life. Some examples of what I have learned from them is that education is very important to be able to succeed and accomplish my goals. Another thing that they have taught me is how to work through challenges in life and to never give up on anything that I believe in. With great role models like this they help me keep a positive attitude and learn lots in…
My Dad, the lover, the tough guy, always loves to hang out with my brother and I. So on the trip to Hawaii, he didn’t only teach me how to boogie board and paddle board, he also taught me to appreciate the good things because they aren’t always going to be there. Like the poem of Robert Frost “Nothing Gold can stay.” That’s the kind of thing that brought me and my dad closer; he turned a paddle board/boogie board lesson into a life lesson.…
Growing up while being raised by my dad has led to many adventures. He has taught me everything I have ever needed to know. From the time that I can remember he has always encouraged me to go outside and partake in something active. He began to take me hunting with him when I was just five years old. At that time I could not do much other than to sit and enjoy the view. Tagging along on his hunting excursions soon allowed me follow in his footsteps and catch on to new skills and I started to enjoy it more.…
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.…
My father also trained all us kids for track every year whether we liked it or not. We lived on a road called one house road and ironically we were the only house there. Every morning was the same, when it was time to go to the bus for school, my father would make us run all the way to the end of the road and when we got off the bus then we had to run all the way home. The great thing about us running together is we pushed each other to do better and made us feel like a team. Also helping my mother with things around the house, like the children, cleaning, and cooking. My mother relied a lot me, she felt I was the most responsible out of her children so I was given more tasks to do. One thing my mother always made sure we did every Sunday and Wednesday was go to church services. Living in the country made it easy to focus on religion which is exactly what our mother made sure we did. If you ever said anything…
My dad was extremely involved in my life especially when I was younger. I was a daddy’s girl one hundred percent growing up. My dad got me involved in all the sports I partook in. Encouraging me, giving me lessons, and helping me become better in any way he could. My mom was normally just there for moral support but my dad was the one to push me. He encouraged me to be good at anything I wanted to do. My dad played such a strong role in my life, and helped me become who I am today. The influences he forced on me created many of the interests I still have today. I feel as if I would be a different person if he weren’t there while I was growing up. To see the change that one person could have on you is deranged. She was involved in any sport…
Mike introduced me to hunting and the great outdoors when we first got married. I can remember being pregnant with our first son and going across a field when a pheasant flew right up in front of me. It scared me so I screamed and fell to the ground. I was so embarrassed knowing there were other hunters around looking to find out who was screaming. I waited on the ground for Mike to give me the ok to get back up. At the time I was mortified but now it is a great memory.…
Dogs have positively affected my life since i was four years old. That was how old i was when i got my very first dog. She was a Lhasa Apso and was very sweet, when we first got her i was very attached to her ever since i was little. Her name was Junior and she passed away last March. Although i was very sad, i was grateful that i had the privilege to have a dog. About ten months ago, i got a new dog, his name is Bauer, he is ½ German Shepherd and ½ Great Pyrenees. He was the runt of his litter but now weighs more than me. He is a very sweet dog and i am very lucky to have him. Dogs have taught me so much responsibility over the years, and have also brightened my day everytime they are around, everyone should have the ability to own a dog,…
How has my dad shaped my view of life? It is hard to pinpoint exactly. I know I have learned a lot from him: the best ways to save money on groceries, the value of gift cards in everyday life, how to relax and joke and be the comedic relief (not that I use that lesson very often, unfortunately), how to separate work and home and truly enjoy being at home (another lesson I need to put into practice more often), and so much more.…
Looking back when I was a little girl about the age of 7, I always wanted a pet, I didn’t care what I just wanted one. So I told my mom about it and she let me get 1 fish. I loved that fish, I named him Samuel. Samuel was an angelfish, he was blue and he had a smaller fin on his right side. I chose him, assuming he wouldn’t get picked by anyone else. He only lived for a week and a half. After Samuel died, my mom didn’t think I would be ready for another pet.…
No matter where I was in school, my parents were always behind me. Most noticeably in my high school career; my mother and father always push me to my limits to achieve better, but that’s just the surface they always had time to listen to my problems no matter how minuet or massive these situations where. My dad always shared a time in his past where he surpassed a scene similar to mine; my mother with endless wisdom, giving me advice and a similar story to enlighten my path. Their stories no matter how sad or happy always inspires me to become more and take this opportunity in this in to study and make something of my life.…

My Dad has a significant influence on me because he worked hard he provided me with food ,water, and milk when I was little he wouldn’t eat so I could have a decent meal at night and now that I look back at it that showed that he would give up the world for me to live.
