My father was raised on the same farm as me. He had a hard life his aunt died at 18 and his dad at 43. His mom had to raise him but, she died when he was in college. I admire my father because he helps me and protects me.

My father is always there to help me. Of course, my father taught me how to play baseball. Like when I hit my first home run. As As soon as I started to get homework in school he checked it for me. Like when I was in the third grade and I did not know how to divide. Perhaps, he yelled at me but that’s because he cared.

He has always protected me. Fortunately my father taught me gun safety. He said always treated treat a gun as it’s loaded. However, my father told me to Stay away from 4 wheels because they are dangerous. On the other hand, he said never do drugs or drink and drive. He told me if I ever have to much to drink call him and ask him to come get me.

I hope one day I can be just like my father. Be there to teach my kids how to play sports, help them with homework, and protect them and that is why I admire him so much.
