The Day Of The Barn

William Faulkner’s “Barn Burning” takes a lot of real life cultural values and ways of southern life in the late 1800s. Many of those values and ways are expressed by sharecropping and tenant farming.

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 dad has been there through thick and thin, mainly thin. He had been in my life for as long as I have lived! My dad is outstanding, outgoing, and funny. Dads can also be stubborn, mean, and honest. My dad in particular is all of the above and sometimes I really dislike that, but hey I can’t change that and I won’t even try either. I love how my dad still gives me a curfew, makes me work on my days off, and doesn’t let me ever be on my phone.

Dads are the most underappreciated when it comes to parenthood. Usually when someone talk about their childhood the talk about how much their mother did for them and often neglect the thing their daddy has done. I can remember my dad doing so many memorable thing in my life. My father made sure that he set and achieve goals in order to be a great dad.

Without my father in my life, I would not have had the motivation to push forward with my goals and aspirations that I have had in my

me. He showed me hard work and dedication pays off. Even if he didn’t do everything by the book he showed me how to become independent and don’t depend on any one. My dad taught me do not allow anyone ever to walk over you have a voice at all times, “Closed mouths don’t get fed”. I decided to create my sugar skull for my Dad because he passed this September. He was a big impact in my life, he showed me that education gets you far in life. I say that he demonstrated that school and education will get you far because he only went to school until 6th grade. My father was a successful

While my dad is not being considered for a acceptance, I felt the need to mention him to describe the qualities of a strong work ethic, good time management skills, and a never ending desire to do better that I have acquired as a result of him. I am a good and qualified candidate for a scholarship because of my work ethic that I have adopted from my dad. It is difficult for me to demonstrate my qualifications and why I am a good investment in a short essay, however I will do my best and that is what I will always

One of the most important person in my life is my dad Daniel Ognean. He is a very intelligent, kind-hearted man. I admire my dad because even though he has a stressful job, he manages to make time to spend time with my family. My dad always stands by my side, and whenever I fall he encourages me to get back up. My dad has black hair, Brown eyes, and darker skin. My dad and I look alike more than my mom and me. My dad is one of my best friends.

My father is a person who inspires me, motivates me, and encourages me to be great. He came from being in a run down trailer, working long, dirty hours in a field, to the man I know him as because he didn’t let his position define him. I believe he is an amazing man because he has worked from the day he could walk and carry a sack, to now, and continues to work for his family.

My dad has always been the person I could talk to about things, now more than ever. I think of this name in two different ways. The “Little” part describes how quiet and observant I am and the “Mama” part describes my caring and strong personality. Over the years, my dad has instilled a very strong work ethic in me. He makes me want to work harder and harder everyday to achieve my goals. When I am unsure of something, he gives me security and helps me make the right decisions. However, the most important thing that my dad has given me is my morals. Of course, both parents teach you right from wrong, but my dad went a step further by helping me understand the underlying purpose of having morals and I could never thank him

My step-dad inspires me every day. He came into my life and impacted it. I now will be going to St. Mary’s high school, because of him.

My earliest memory dates back to 2002, and when I picture this memory images of me successfully riding my bike without training wheels and my father proudly yelling “I told you you could do it!” are what I recollect. As I reflect on my life one individual has constantly been there to make sure I always have high ambitions, but also be there to comfort me if I fall short of my unattainable goals. He has pushed me to do my best while being my biggest cheerleader. This man is my father. When I was an infant my father was the one that sacrificed his career in order to stay home with me during the day. This was the beginning of our perfect relationship. He taught me how to ride my bike, how to change a tire, and ultimately how to live a life full

It was the summer of 2011. I was a young lad preparing for my first year as a sheep showman, when my mother called me into the house. I had been walking my Suffolk sheep, DD, and I remember not wanting to put her back in the barn because the county fair was in a few weeks, but Mother’s face was stern, and I knew something bad had happened. When I walked in, the air conditioning should have felt good, but instead, it was tense. Mom had something she wanted to say but didn’t know how. She told me to sit down. She looked me in the eyes and said, “Jake, Lucky is dead.”

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

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 He still works hard everyday, at the age of 64 years old. I admire and respect my father for everything he has does and has done. I work hard at everything I do for the greatest reward at the end of all my accomplishments is making my father proud.
