Kandler's Life Lessons

My dad has always been my biggest motivator and the reason for growing up the way I did. We had a very tight relationship; I was definitely a "daddy's girl." I always wanted to be around him, he was someone I looked up to when I was younger. I always looked at him like he was so much more

My father have an important job he is a pastor. He watch over God’s people as God told him to. Most people in the world don’t have a father or a father figure but I thank God that I have one. There are so many things he have done to inspire or to motivate me in my life. For example he have had seen people do him wrong not only to him but to his family but he did not relate. Instead he just smiled and offered them dinner. My father have experienced discrimination however he still did not relate he walked away.My father family did not even believe in him he did not relate he paid there bills.

After all, my father is an inspiring person to me, he loves me for who I am and what I do, but he wants me to be a successful man in the future life. He is trying to use his knowledge to make my knowledge better and make it easier on me with school. What he does for me I respect it fully. The things he does for me, as in like loving, caring, and helping my feature, I respect it so much. My father always tells me that “If you stay on task, keep safe, and have fun on something you like or even love, keep on going for it and you will be able to accomplish anything and will be able to do and it will be able to help your future family, your family now, people who you love, and others that need you when they need you. Do what you want to and be happy of what you have and you might get

In conclusion, I am daddy's little girl and proud of that. I could not of asked for a better father. My dad has always been there for me and I wil always be there for him. I respect my father because he deserves to be. He stayed and was a father and never took the easy way out like in the world today most fathers do. I believe my father is the best at everything he does. He has been through so much in his life and still is a happy wonderful man; I would have been sad and depressed if I had to go through hald as much as my father. Dad is strong and looks ahead not behind, he always say the past is the past "always

My father is my Artifact. Throughout my life, he influenced me in many ways. He is one of the exceptional and most motivating person in my life. He is now 63 years old, retired accountant officer. He is living with diabetes for more than 25 years. His determination and challenging work helps me to succeed in my studies. He is very punctual and most optimistic person and spend most

When I was younger, my father and I were in car accident. The other driver crossed a red light and unfortunately hit us. I remember clearly how he not only worried about me he also checked to see if the other driver was fine. This showed me how of a caring person he is. When other people are in need, he always does his best to help them in whatever he can possibly can. Ever since then he has been a huge influence. He has taught me how to work hard for anything that I want to accomplish. As well as not to give up on my goals and most importantly to always be kind to one another. My parents are divorced; however, this fact did not change the relationship between my father and me. He has always worked day and night to provide my brothers and me a comfortable lifestyle. His attitude towards life has had a great influence in my life. I know that I have to put in the effort to accomplish my nursing degree. But in this process, I will try to be kind-hearted to

That is one important change in my life without him. He has helped me by helping my mom more than I ever could. Which lead me to have more time to discover who I was and what I wanted to do in this world. I want to become an elementary school teacher and continue to gain my PhD to work in administration to help all children like I wished my school could have done for me. My father jumped right into action in my family to support each and every one of us so we could all be happy and not struggle anymore. He works six days a week, from sunrise to sunset to support our family. Even when he is not at work, he is at home tinkering with little things so nothing is left broken. He helps my mom's side of the family with car or house troubles. He literally can not sit and do nothing. He is a dedicated man and kind-hearted and because of his mistake, I am terrified I might lose

My dad taught me a lot of things about life, whether he'd meant to or not. He taught me that, everyone is human, and that I shouldn't be quick to judge someone.

My father is someone who has experienced things many people these days have not. When he was growing up his step father Wes was very hard on him and his sibling. He would make them work for everything and was abusive. Finally, my Grandmother left him and took the kids with her, my dad and his three sisters. They traveled all over the country starting in California and just moving around. He was bullied at most of the schools he attended but always stood his ground. He eventually moved to Dubuque and went to Hempstead high school where he met my mom and stayed here for the rest of his life.

The quality that I admire the most about my father is how hard working he is. When my father was in high school he ran track. He worked hard everyday and night. He always fought the temptation of being lazy and giving into peer pressure. His hard work paid off and he made it to states his senior year. He also holds many records at his high school. If you ever walk through the hallway of Fairview High School, where the trophy case is you will see a picture of my father with his track records that still to this day have not been broken. His dedication has worn off on me with softball. Although, I do not possess any records, I still train hard in hopes of making my own records. I hope one day I can be the best, just like he was. My father will continue to make a positive impact on my life. His constant guidance and advice, always being there for me and his great qualities have influenced me and made me the person I am

My dad has taught me many life lessons and has set a good example to live by. For example, when we go deer hunting he sets a good example by doing the right thing instead of what he really wants to do. One time when we were hunting there was a deer across the river and would have been an easy shot but he left it to show a good example since shooting across open water is illegal. Also during hunting he shows a good example because before I would go along he would do just about anything to get a deer like chasing after a deer in a pickup or shooting from the road, but now that he has grown older and has to set an example he tries his best to do the right thing.

Growing up with a father that was never around and a father figure that also left was hard, but it taught me that I don’t need a father to rely on. I have myself and my mom, and as long as I don’t forget who I am I

I believe that having a relationship that changes your life or changes the way you think or do something is very valuable. Having that kind of relationship with my father is very impactful on my life. All the positive aspects of our relationship comes to my mind. Reflecting on our relationship, many stories are emphasized in our relationship; stories that were impacting and made me who I am to this moment. My dad is a business owner, builder, ex-skater, drum player, video gamer, soccer player, loving husband and father, and a faithful servant to our Lord, Jesus Christ. So being able to relate to my dad is very easy to me, for I share many of those talents and hobbies. As the oldest son in the family I didn't really have anyone to look up to or strive to be like a certain person that was close to my age. That led me to walk in my dad’s footsteps. Watching my dad give glory to God for all that he has given to our family was truly incredible to me. My dad’s work rate, his ability to help others when they need it most, his ability to get tasks done thoroughly was amazing to me. I truly know that he is a wonderful role model for me. Three stories come to mind when I think of my dad. He taught me various things in every one, they are: to listen to God when you struggle, to work hard and finish things well, and to love others even when we dislike their motives or actions.

My father's protectiveness and selflessness generated at a young age for him. He is the ninth of twelve children, and often told us stories of how he had to look after, and practically raise his three younger siblings after my grandfather had passed. He made certain they completed their chores around my grandmother's farm, maintained good hygiene practices, and kept up with their schoolwork. School was extremely important to my father, because he knew an education was the only way he could be successful.

I have a very special person in my life that I look at as my hero. Like a Knight in shining armor with the warm bright light that seems to follow him where ever he goes. Wearing his strong armor, so shinny and clear you can see your own refection. Stronger than ten men fighting to keep me safe, to protect me. Who is this man? He is my father. He not only can carry his own problems, but also chooses to carry mine. It’s like he is holding a balance beam scale that seems like it could tip one way, but he always keeps it evenly balanced. It’s so hard to pick one time that my dad influenced me because there are many. From day one until now, my dad influenced me to be the best I can be.
