My Dad

My main influence throughout my whole life is my dad. The epitome of what a man should be, a hard worker and a family man; a brilliant mind and a cool spirit; he had his morals straight and followed them, always leading in the direction he wanted others to follow. He never gave up on anything and always wanted the best for others. He lived a life I strive to follow everyday, with humbleness and humility never getting in the way. He tried to always be positive about the challenges he faced. He knew how to love his family and friends, but more importantly knew how to show it. Whether it was just listening while I talked or giving me a back rub when i woke up with a sore neck. He was genuinely interested in everything I had to say or anything I was passionate about. He pushed me to be the best I could be, as a person or as a player. He never gave up, on a project or on life. Whether just running, working out, or homework I always push my hardest to never give up.
