    FedEx

    In this day and age, it is hard to find someone who truly works hard enough to get what they want. A majority of society just sits around and takes advantage of the government, not bothering to lift a finger or to actually work.

No matter what the weather consists of, how terrible he is feeling or what all he has to sacrifice; he has constantly made it his priority to work hard to support his family. So what, exactly, does my father do that makes him so hard working? He puts vinyl siding on houses, installs replacement windows and hangs six inch gutter, through sunshine or snow. Does that sound easy? I thought so, too, until I spent a few days working with him. Needless to say, my judgment changed tremendously after freezing while hanging gutter on a local motel.…
