A Father's Enduring Love The people that get to know us best, from our virtues to flaws, are our parents. They have the greatest influence on our lives because they are the people we see the most and have known for the longest period of time. They sacrifice many luxuries in order to give their children the best life possible. My father has had a huge impact on my life and it is because of him that I am the person I am today. A lot of people say that I am a lot like my dad, both physically and mentally. We both have the same mannerism, facial expressions, and thinking processes. We love to study and travel, eat exotic and luxurious food, spend time with family members and we both have an incredible amount of energy. From observing my dad's behavior and listening to his lectures, he has had a great influence on my life, choices and personality.

My father, Najeeb Yousef Rizik, went through so much in his life to get to where he is today, a successful pharmacist with a well-paying job. My dad is a strong confident man who left his hometown when he was seventeen years old and moved to the United States alone. He didn't know

anyone, had little money in his pocket and worked in the most demeaning jobs with the lowest income, jobs I would never even imagine working in. Nonetheless, he had no other choice. He needed to eat and live. With all of these obstacles in his

    George Washington's Achievements

    Sixty two years ago, my Grandfather found himself in a whole with his life. He was living in Genova, Italy with about one hundred dollars to his name. He had just gotten married to my Grandma, and was still living in his mother’s house at the time. He had no job, which means no money was coming in. Getting a job at this time was nearly impossible. Knowing that he had so much more potential, at such a young age, he decided to pack up and leave everything with his wife to start a new life in America. My Grandfather and Grandmother spent days and days on a boat to get to the land of opportunities. Once they arrived they got exactly what they were looking for. Opportunities. In order to support his new wife, my Grandfather worked all day everyday.…

    I am just your average teenager from Paterson New Jersey trying to make a better living for my family. Growing up in Paterson, I experienced things I should not have experienced, from deaths, drug dealing, to gang violence in my neighborhood. I come from a very big family where college was optional.

    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.…

    The Other Wes Moore

    My life can be closely related to the life of Wes Moore’s. Even though I did not lose my father at a young age, the admiration for my father is just as big as Wes’s. When I was a toddler, I wanted to be just like my father. I tried to do almost everything that he did. I even appreciated some of the things that he liked and did, so I could be just like him. While growing, I hit a stage where I started to think that being like my father was not such a good thing. I began thinking that I didn’t want to be like him at all, because he was a big disciplinarian. I thought that once I reached adulthood, I would be too hard on my children if I followed in his footsteps. As I continue to mature, I’ve noticed that he does this to bring out the best in me, and without him I would not be the person I am today.…

    From Immigrants To El Salvador: Personal Statement

    My parents immigrated to the United States from El Salvador before I was born, leaving behind 5 kids, the youngest nine months and oldest thirteen years of age. Leaving behind their children was one of my parents’ hardest choice, but they believed that in the future it would have the best outcome. My parents had lived a dirt-poor life in El Salvador due to the Civil War that was going on the in the 1980s. They came to the U.S. in hopes of giving their children a better life, they put their all into their jobs until eventually they could bring my siblings to the United States for the better life every child deserves. Knowing this did nothing but show me that anything is possible if you work hard and strive for only the best.…

    Quotes From Catcher In The Rye

    40 years have passed since I moved away from the dreadful place I used to call home, where I was treated like dirt and was constantly fighting with my mother. Most of the family used to ask me the same old question, “Which parent do you love more?”. Back then, I would have replied, “I love them both the same.” But now, after the last argument with my mother, the one that led to me moving towns just to get away from her, I will always answer in a stern voice,”I love my father more.”…

    A Brother's Love

    When you compare Louis Erdrich’s story “The Red Convertible” and James Baldwin’s story “Sonny’s Blues”, they seem like completely different stories. “The Red Convertible” is about two brothers, Lyman and Henry, who grow up on a Native American reservation in North Dakota. The two brothers share a strong bond that is personified through their love for a certain red car that they share. They go through an amazing journey and discover a lot about each other. On the other hand, “Sonny’s Blues” is also about two brothers, however their journey goes a completely different route than Lyman and Henry’s. In “Sonny’s Blues”, the narrator and his little brother, Sonny, start out as distant and forgotten family members. Through Sonny’s love for music, and his older brother’s gradual acceptance, the two grow a stronger bond than ever before. Although the two are indeed about different topics, there are some parallels to recognize as well.…

    Having a dad

    We all strive for attention and affection, whether it is from family, friends, or a random individual. But earning the attention of the ones we wish to love shouldn’t be hard, especially if it’s a family. “Patching Holes” is a story by Andi Long, which describes her relationship and daily life with her cold hearted father who is somewhat like most dads or father figures I’ve come to know. As a child growing up, I never really had a father figure. For me my father figure is my grandpa, which is weird seeing as he is so much like the father in the story “Patching Holes”, just cold hearted, hardworking and violent. But, he shows small flashes of compassion here and there. I have longed for his attention since I was a child for the simple feeling of having a dad. A father figure is what most people want but a lot of people don’t have.…

    As we know in a family, there always have a stern father and a compassionate mother. However, my father is not that stern. He always can meet all my requirements and give me the best things. Every time when I heard “Father” by Chopstick Brothers, I am touched and my mood is heavy. The whole song describes a story that is similar to me. When I was third grade my father came to America, I have not seemed him until I came here. Even though my father was far away at that time, I still could feel the love from him. My father still gave a call every day, although China has time difference with the United States. No matter how tired he was. He was cared about me and never forgot my birthday. Until the day when I saw my father in John F. Kennedy International Airport, I could not believe that person is my father. I saw there had grey hair in my father’s hair.

    Personal Statement: My Life As An Immigrant

    I was four years old when my family immigrated to the United States from Ukraine. It was a crazy experience and a big life change for all of us. There were many obstacles to be faced living a life completely far away from what we used to call home. It was very difficult to leave my grandparents back in Ukraine. They were a significant source of encouragement for me especially my grandfather. He was my hero. He was the main nurturer who provided a lot of encouragement and support for me in the very hard times of my life. In times of crisis when life felt like a crashing wave, he was the one I always ran to for guidance. Like most immigrants, we didn’t know any English, therefore it was extremely hard to communicate with anyone.…

    Over the past years of my life there has always been an important person who has impacted me in many different ways.
