Teenager’s Tribute to a Real Hero: ‘My Dad’

My Dad is my real hero because he is the most special person in my life. He’s a very good athlete and an artist. He is a Corporal in the Army and sometimes he is away from us for 6 to 8 months, but we talk to each other every day… And at weekends when he is home, he loves to play with me the whole day.

During weekdays he works hard & spends maximum time at home. He is amongst the top ranked employees of his company & has won many awards.

He tries his best to keep our family happy. He works hard to make money for our family. He loves me a lot & always tries to cheer me up whenever I am in a sad mood.

He has always taught me good values & not spoilt me by buying me all the things that I wanted. But at the same time, he has gifted me many things that I always wish to have.

My Dad has always tried his level best to make me a good human being. I am his son.

He is very careful regarding what I eat. He always insists that I eat healthy stuff such as fruits and vegetables that are rich in vitamins and minerals. He is an extremely loving Dad. I always enjoy spending time with him and learning new things with him. He has taught me to swim.

My Dad helps me in my studies too. He does not allow me to take extra tuition. Instead he personally sits with me to get my problems solved. It is because of his grace I perform well in studies.

My Dad is the most precious gift from God to me. He is a loving father and the most gracious person I have ever seen in my life. He wants me to become a good human being like him. That is why he always teaches me to differentiate between wrong & right.

Every day he takes out a little time for me in the night to acknowledge my day to day activities & problems, if any. He is my best friend. I can discuss everything with him without any hesitation. Things that I fail to reveal even to my close friends, I can easily discuss with my Dad.

Whenever I need his help, he is always available for me. He is like a hero to me. He is funny, cool, adventurous and smart. The most important lesson that Dad has taught me is to be disciplined & hard working in life. These 2 things are the key ingredients to achieve success in life.

Today I am just 15 years old & at this tender age, Dad has taught me a lot of things that people at the age of 20 fail to understand. He has taught me what life is all about. He has shown me the way to achieve success.

He has shown me the opportunities that exist in front of me. But at the same time, he has left the decision up to me in terms of which path to choose.

He is very confident that his efforts to make me a good human being will never go in vain. Seeing his confidence in me, someday I want to make him proud. I thank God everyday for giving me such a loving and caring father. I also wish to see him in good health for the rest of my life.

Love you Dad
