My Role Model: My Father Is A Super Hero

My dad supports me in everything that I do. He comes to my cross country and track meets and my basketball games. He gives me tips and pointers on how to do better in sports, school, and life. This summer my cross country team participated in a Ragnar Relay run. The course was 202.8 miles- from Winona to St. Paul, Minnesota. My dad came along and encouraged and supported us along the way. He is like a coach. I know my dad will always have my back.

My father is the most special person in my life. He is a very intelligent and kind-hearted man. He runs his own business, and he works hard to support our family financially and emotionally. Although he is busy with work, he manages to make time for me and family. Every day, he takes out time for me to acknowledge my daily life and makes jokes that bring a smile to my face. My father has always been there for me at moments of joy and times of hardship. No matter how terrible the situation might seem, he always can look at the positive aspects of the situation and says, “Stay positive. Be happy. Don’t let the negativity ruin your day!” Therefore, whenever I face struggles and weaknesses, I remind myself that I am strong and live for the day.

One person’s hero might seem just like another ordinary person to another. My father might not be world famous but to me he’s just as much much a hero to me then any one of those people. Everyday he works; to make sure that I have an opportunity to succeed in life, have a happy life, and be able to grow as a person.

It deeply breaks my heart that my father is expected to work in the sun cleaning and fixing cars everyday. While the sun is nearly burning his skin in the summer and while it is freezing outside during the winter. What also breaks my heart is that he is humiliated daily and has nothing to do, but lower his head because of necessity. With all of the struggles my father experiences at work to earn a living, he is unable to provide enough money for our family's expenses. In fact, we have gotten to the point where we didn't have enough to money to pay our gas bill for weeks. What we would have to do is grab bowls filled with water and heat them up in the microwave in

Role models are individuals that set upon a good example. You went above that, threw your own life in a ditch just to save those who cannot possibly think twice of what they do. The unthinking ways of a teenager can lead to a torn family, or an illegal issue. If only we payed more attention to the ones who stand so much taller than us. We could learn to stand just as tall, or even taller.

My father had the mindset to “be brave,” and “make it happen,” just as the epic heroes do such as Hercules and Odysseus, despite the people around him telling him it was nearly impossible to profit during such a hard time in the United States. This scenario is similiar to an action of Hercules when he brought back Alcestis from the dead by going to Hades in order to do so (“Hamilton,” Hercules, 8). My father will go to any lengths to provide for my family, he will take the biggest chances and do the unthinkable. Although Hercules ultimately did that task for himself, that is where the difference between my father and epic heroes comes into play. My father is all about self sacrifice, and he does actions for other people instead of his own ego.

For the past few years I’ve always received one question frequently, whether it be from a friend, or someone met in passing, the question of “Who is your role model?” has always come up. Everyone has a role model for different reasons, some being inspired by that person's creation and for others it's the success of that person or idea. Primarily for me it's about the morals of that person and how much they can influence a group of people. This is where we arrive to the answer of the question “Who is your role model?”. To put it quite plainly my role model is Dave Grohl. Dave is the lead singer of the Foo Fighters. While managing his career, he also manages to be a good Father for his daughter, and keep his morals straight. This means he isn't

When my father was seven his father unfortunately passed away in an accident. My father was the last one who spoke to him and saw him. He was born into a family of four sisters, with him being the only boy in the house he quickly had to become the man of the house. He had to teach himself to be independent without the guidance from his father. My father made many great relationships and had the help from many friends when he was growing up.

Whenever something was wrong with our house, my dad would be the one to fix it instead of calling a plumber. Last year my father lost his thumb and index finger when he was working on a house that belong to one his brothers. Even after being permanently injured, my father continued to apply all of his effort into fixing houses up to this point. My father didn’t have an education higher than High School but through his actions, my father taught me that by having a goal or someone to support, anything could be achieved. He motivated me to do my best even when things weren’t going as I planned. My father wasn’t the only one doing his best to support the family, my mother

Growing up my father was a very hard working man. He was the breadwinner , and worked

After a day of working from two in the morning to six in the evening, days where he’s been spat on, cursed, and shot at, he always found time to play catch with me as I was growing up. He was my role model growing up and still remains as the man I look up to. In many social arena’s, my dad is considered a senselessly violent, racist, murderous pig. Because of his job, he’s a bad person. The same person that taught me how to play baseball, the man that saved my mom from an abusive relationship when they had only first met, the father that held my sobbing sister after her puppy had died, is labeled an abuser of power because of the uniform he puts on every

For the role model interview project, I chose to interview one of my closest friends, Erin. I decided to interview her because in addition to looking up to her, I felt comfortable talking to her and I knew that she would answer these questions honestly and openly. The interview took place through video chat simply because we could not go over to each other’s houses and I didn’t think asking these private questions in a public place such as school would not be appropriate. We talked to each other after school so that we would have plenty of time to get through all the questions without having some sort of limit. While she was the person I chose as my role model, she had chosen her dad as her own role model. A role model is hardworking, empowering, and selfless.

From the moment babies are able to walk they are influenced by older people in the world. Kids look up to people because there hair, sport ablitity,clothes,people skills. Having a good postive role model in children and young adults to being a parent. Stephen curry is my role model because he is a outstanding althlete , an sublime teammate, and is a high awarded basketball player.

When you’re a little kid most of the time your first role models are a doctor, firefighter, or a teacher. Most kids look up to them because they save lives. When kids think of doctors, they think of someone helping their ailments. They look at firefighters as a positive role model because they save people out of fires. They see them as role models because they are helping someone while putting their life at risk. Kids most of the time think that teachers are role models because they see them in the class room helping them. The teacher’s best intentions are for the kids to get better and grow. That’s why some kids look up to teachers. These are some of the common role models for kids. There are so many different role models. Its honestly up to the person to look up to them. Every man for himself. Everyone has their own opinion. Your role model is the person in your opinion you look up to. No one else can tell you who and what you can look up to.

Being a child growing up in two separate households, with two completely different beliefs has been one of the hardest things I have ever endured. I went from being the perfect little girl that had everything she wanted and needed in life handed to her, I went from having the best dad in the world, new clothes every other weekend, money always in my pocket and not a worry in the world, to being disowned by half of my family and friends to being spoken about behind my back as if I was just trash on the side of the road, all due to one decision I made.
