My Role Model
A role model is someone you look up to, who can have a major impact in your life. My father, Daniel Simms, is my role model. My father possess certain qualities that I admire. He is loving, caring, selfless, hard-working, a devote Christian, he displays good moral values, and he has taught me important life lessons. My father has been very patient with me, he has never given up on me and encouraged me to be a good model citizen. I remember when I was fourteen years old, I was so sick and was admitted to the hospital for a couple of weeks. One day I over heard my dad talking to the doctor about what can he do to help and he told my doctor, "If I have to give my life for my precious baby, I’ll do it. Please, doctor, tell me what I can do.” It was at that point that I was so touched by my father's act of selflessness, that I couldn’t stop crying. I was proud to have a father that would anything for the well-being of his children. Although my mother played an active role in my life, I felt a greater connection to my father.
Growing up in a small family, I witnessed the way my father took an active role in his family. He was the bread-winner of his family, yet he never neglected us. He is a loving father. He cares a lot about his daughters. My dad will do anything for his children. Since I could remember to this present moment, he was always been someone whom I can count on to help me in my time of need. He taught me how to be a better person by respecting myself, respecting others, and being a woman on integrity. He has been a good example for me by instilling strong family bonds; because of him I turn out to be a great mom to my children and a good wife to my husband.
May father made sacrifies for his family. Despite his hectic work schedule, he took his time to teach me how to drive. He'd wake up early every morning before he went to work to give me driving lessons. I remember when he worked overtime just to save enough money to buy me my first car. I was

    Once I saw my father almost lose his life for a lady he didn’t know. These are the kind of experiences that make me surprised he lived till this age. As people entered this place today, many walked up to me offering their condolences and mentioning all the various things that my father had done for them. Some said he was a brother to them while others hardly knew him. That’s the charm about my father. You didn’t have to know him before he sacrificed something for you. I used to dislike that side of him as he hardly had time for me. It wasn’t until we came to America that…

    My father was not a kind man. He was quick to anger, strict, and rude. As to not completely malign my father, I will admit we had good times. He played me his obscure music, and broadened my philosophical horizons. His death was not a quick and painless one. My father battled cancer for the amount of time it would take for a person to become a parent, nine months. However, his death was necessary in order for me to construct a new and less idealistic reality.…

    When people ask me who my role model is I instantly think of my dad. In my opinion, nobody can compare to my father. While he was fighting cancer, I told myself, “There is no way he is losing this battle, he is too strong.” People constantly told me to expect the worse, however, I knew that he would pull through and beat cancer. My dad had always been there for me while I was growing up, at that moment I knew it was my turn to be there for him.…

    Growing up, I was always a daddy’s girl. Then, I began to transition to relying on my mother more than father when I started to notice my dad’s absents. Due to away from home military work, my dad missed many milestones in my life like my first leading role play, the first time a rode a bike, and my middle school graduation. Eventually, I realized that my dad was sacrificing his time with his family and risking his life helping make a bigger difference in the world. I learned from the stress, prayers, and fear for my dad that I have to cherish every moment with the people I love. I view my dad as the definition of resilience. I cannot try to explain what my dad went through during his time overseas but he returned to his same ole’ happy, goofy self. My dad taught me that I need to be an independent woman and never to depend on anyone for my success. I will make my dad proud by becoming that educated, independent women, he hopes me to be.…

    Every night, when my dad comes home from work, me and my brother always ask him 3 questions, how was work, how was your day, and how much money did you make, dad? He would always say how much he made and say that it was enough to buy us food and any supplies that we needed. When my dad was young, his hero was his mom because she was a widow mother who worked really hard to take care of my dad and his two brothers and sister. She had risked everything for her children just like my parents.…

    Coming from a lower middle class family and owning a horse (very expensive) I had to work for everything I have today. Nothing was ever handed to me. My horse and I didn’t spend hours at the trainers getting ready for a horse show, nor did my mother and father do everything for me. My mother pushed me out of my contentment. By her doing this it made me a confident and determined person today. She had me take a college public speaking class that was out of my norm but it matured me greatly. My father taught me gratitude. His life threatening health problems informed me that in a second your whole world can alter around you. He taught me to never take anyone or anything for granted. I appreciate everything I have because of him. My parents gave me the foundations to become the decent human being I am…

    As the youngest boy in my family, I considered myself to be the “Spoiled one”. While growing up it always made me sad to see my close friends and even the people on the TV without a father or even a father-like figure around. Seeing this made me appreciate how much of an impact my father has made on his children’s lives. To this day, he continues to profess how proud he is of me and my siblings, and that he will always be there to support us in whatever we choose to get involved in. In every aspect of my life, my father pushes me to excel as much as I possibly can. Whenever I feel like giving up on my dreams and goals, or if I have a question or concern, I know that I can always call on my father for advice. My father is a very loving man and I have learned from him that sometimes you have to put others needs before your own, but not to the point where you completely give up on your own needs.…

    Even when I was little and still excited about the world, my dad would always have time and patience to listen to me. I’d ask something like, “Where do babies come from?” and he’d tell me Jesus gave them to parents because I’m an angel. I’m sure he doesn’t think that anymore but when I was five I was adorable. Even now, whenever I need to talk to him or ask a question he’s always there, ready and willing to listen. His ability to always be there really strengthened our relationship. It’s one of the main reasons why I love my dad.…

    My family, and more specifically my dad, has had the biggest impact on my worldview to this day. My dad instilled in me many of the beliefs and values that he lived his life by. In the sixteen years that I shared with my father, he taught me countless life lessons, the most impactful being that relationships and experiences are what shape a life. The death of such an important figure made me realize what a large impact relationships have on life. The relationships that remained became stronger and more apparent, and the relationship that I had lost was more appreciated and cherished. My dad travelled the world for business and built relationships with diverse groups of people from all walks of life. He impressed upon me an attitude of acceptance and compassion towards others. As I’ve matured, I’ve applied these attitudes as I encounter people of different cultures. Looking back on my fathers life, the memories that I remember best are the…

    I challenge myself every day to become like my mother and father. I have recently faced a big challenge when my father passed away. In July of 2013, my father died unexpectedly.

This has played a significant role in reminding me who I was raised by and the standards he has set. It has steered me toward proving my parents that I am a hard worker and will carry my culture respectfully throughout my life.…
