Thanks to My Hardworking Father

Thanks to My Hardworking Father It is very fortunate for a kid to have his father around. In the last thirty years, having both parents in the household was rare. Most of my friends I grew up with only had their mother around. To all the mothers that were strong enough to raise a boy to be a man, I commend you. However, I was very fortunate to have both parents in my household. I would like to thank my father for showing me what a hardworking man truly is, for teaching me how to be responsible, and teaching me why it’s better to work hard for my money than take the easy route like selling drugs. First of all, I thank my father for showing me what a hardworking man truly is. He always had a job, sometimes two, but they never took any quality time away from spending with me. My father always made me remember that any man can help make a baby, but a real man helps raise the baby. My father was always there to help raise me. I remember when I told him that he was going to be a grandfather, he reminded me that anyone could make a baby, raising one was a different story. When my mother got a raise at her job and had to work more hours, my father took a different job so he could spend more time at home with me. Most men would rather work and have the mother at home to raise the kids. My father was different; he wanted everyone to be happy. My mother was happy working at her job. I was happy to be around my father more, and he was happy that he could raise me to be a responsible man.
Next, I thank my father for teaching me how to be a responsible hardworking man. My father always taught me that a man is a person that takes care of his responsibilities. He always showed me that having fun with my friends was pleasant and okay as long as I had taken care of my homework and chores. Once I got to that age where I could clean up behind myself, he made sure I did just that. My father

    I thank god every day and night for giving me the privilege of letting me meet my grandfather for the nine last yet most memorable years of his life. Someone who has made my emotions rise high and drop low, one who has proven me the impossible. The women who has proven to me what it truly is to never give up, one who has gone through so much and keep fighting, my grandmother. Someone more like a second mother to us, who I cherish every single minute that passes. She is my treasure in life. I will forever be…

    Growing up with 3 brothers and I being the only girl was great for me. I was always daddy’s little girl and really enjoyed by childhood. My dad was the world to me and I always dreamed about being a mother some day and giving my baby the same love and attention that my dad would give me. I was always surrounded my love and attention and my wish was my command. My daddy always spoiled me, but at the same time he would instill in me the importance of respecting and loving everything and everyone. He always told me learning to respect and also earning the respect of people was very important because it would keep me mindful and make me remember to show proper appreciation towards others and towards things. He also felt that by having my heart open to love it would make me a better person and at the same time it would lead me to a…

    “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.”…

    My Dad is an extremely hard working person. He is always up and ready for the day before anyone else in my family and He is also the last person up always working on His projects. Just as much of a harder worker He is my Dad is also twice, even three times nicer than. My Dad is the most loving person I know, He has been extremely supportive in all my endeavors in life. He always reminds me of how much He loves me and care for me, He also sacrificed so much of His life to give me a better opportunity. He works selflessly to provide for my brothers and sisters all our necessities and goes the extra mile to ensure that we have everything we need to be successful. He always is there for me when I need Him. He would literally drop whatever He is doing just to hear me rant or if I need a shoulder to cry on. He never belittles me or my problems and insecurities. He constantly reaffirms me of my potential when I feel just like garbage. He is always telling me I am destined for greatness, I am priceless and worth more than the world to Him. Even when I hear Him tell me these things over and over I believe Him because He is extremely genuine. It is actually because of Him that I want to help people with my life. He always told me to never be greedy or money hungry, but that I should use my wealth to help the poor. He never looks down on people in a worse position than Him, He always calls other people our brothers and sisters.…

    I claim to owe most of my success to my teachers professors, and my parents, the ones who taught me everything. Before today, I never realized that I had to thank my father for so much of my success. Without his interference, I probably wouldn't have gotten into the best University in the country, learned from the best teachers in their fields, or even gotten out of Punchbowl, Sydney, home to many crimes and violence. Twenty years ago he made sure that I was number one, the best at what I do. Then he gave the area and my innocent mother the best reason in the…

    This is a tribute to a man that has always been and will always be my mentor. His name is Alan Dale Jacobson, he is my father. He is not technically my father by blood, but he is by far the best father I could have ever asked for. I have known him my entire life as Uncle Al until I was 13 and he married my mother and our relationship went to a whole new level. He taught me many things like pride, honesty, to put my family above all things, and how to be an honorable man.…

    Moving away from home and being in college, I look back on my years at home with a little bit of sadness and tad bit of regret. I realize that I took my father for granted. When I would complain about how much homework a teacher had given me, I never once heard him complain about staying late after work. When I would complain about not having the latest outfit, I never once heard him complain about…

    Today I'm thankful for my brother Trevor. Hard working, outgoing, funny, and simple are 4 words that describe him perfectly. No matter what he's doing he puts his full effort into whatever it is. If it was a sport he wanted to be better at, he would spend hours working on it in his own time. If it was a project he needed done for school, he would put it before anything else. If it was a few extra hours of studying to get a good grade, he would do it. But most of all, any time anything needs done around the farm, he's the first one to do it. During the summer while my Dad's at work, Trevor makes the plans and tells the hired hands what to do. If he's home from college he tells my Dad he worked enough the day before and to get a few extra hours of sleep and he'll take care of the…

    The biggest gratitude goes to my mom. She’s not only an ordinary fulltime housewife, but also my dad’s part time personal assistant. On the other hand, she is the one who travels up and down to send me to university and my brother to school. Well, to put it in a nutshell, she has no time for herself at all. When I was 2 years old, I was admitted into the hospital and told that I had bronchitis. She was the one who took up the responsibility to take care of me, staying in the ward with me even when she was pregnant with my brother. A mother’s love is indeed instinctual, unconditional and forever for her child.…

    I feel that I have so much to be thankful for, from the proper manners I currently possess, my proper etiquette, or the smarts I have which allow me to pursue a higher education. All the times you both have bailed me out of tough situations and never turned your backs on me regardless of anything. All the times I have had car trouble and dad has come to my rescue. I remember once he drove all the way to the middle of nowhere in between Sacramento and Los Angeles just to call a tow truck for my car and we waited for nearly 5 hours then made a 5 hour drive back to southern California.…
