President Nixon established Father’s Day as a national observance day in 1972 (“Father’s Day in USA”). According to the article, “Father’s Day in USA,” “Observing the day, people reflect on the invaluable role played by fathers in building the character of children and in the development of the nation.” The article goes on to say it has become tradition to honor other men in a person's life who act like “fatherly figures” as well. “The Gift” by Li-Young Lee, “Sins of the Father” by W.D. Ehrhart, and Interstellar by Christopher Nolan each describe a father and child relationship which illustrates the impact their love for each other has on their lives.

I have learned lot of things in my life. I want to share one of the most important lesson he always taught me is to be discipline, kind and challenging work. I would like to thank my dad for making me a successful, strong and wise woman. My dad is my special and precious gift to me. I thank god for giving such a loving, caring and friendly father to

Last but not least, I humbly thank all my teachers of POH for helping me, not just with class work but, assisting in me to find my goal and enabling me to achieve it by providing me with the

I don’t exactly remember my elementary years as well as I used to but I remember parts of it like my best friend was my cousin Austin we did just about everything together like we used to skate play games, I even played tee ball believe it or not, me a non-sports kinda kid playing tee ball. That all changed after I took a fly ball to my nose, and quit right then. I remember my skateboard my first one that was an ugly off set white with a black stick figure on it. I remember that my usual skate spot was at the school. I also remember this one time I was maybe 4th grade? Austin and I were at Legion Lake honestly it was more of just a pond but it had this huge hill we had a wagon because we bought 2 12 packs of mountain dew. When we got to the

Today I have paid tribute to my dad Mike Ferris. I absolutely love him and he is the best dad in the world. I have told you about two things that make my dad so special and why he deserves tribute; he was there for me when my life changed forever, and he has always believed in me through everything. “A father is always making his baby into a little woman. And when she is a woman he turns her back again.” Enid

A father can be a son’s highest goal or lowest point, and it is all about how the father treats the son. In Li-Young Lee’s “Mnemonic,” Lee acknowledges his shortcomings that his father would not have been approved of. In Langston Hughes’s “Mulatto,” the father neglects his son and ignores his abuse of the mother. In James Masao Mitsui’s poem “Because of My Father’s Job,” the father has influenced the author’s life and how he sees himself. In these principle poems, each father takes a different approach to being a father. One of them holds himself highly. Another one neglects his responsibilities. The final one impacts the son’s entire life. A father is a son’s first role model, and the template in which the son is built after, but sometimes that template is not to the son’s liking.

The poem "Not Bad, Dad, Not Bad" and the book Farewell to Manzanar have a lot in common about fathers and their kids. One thing that I realized in comparison between these two texts was that kids feel that their fathers don't love them, but the only reason why they are hard on you is cause they do love you. One example of this is in Not Bad, Dad, (7-8) when the speaker says, "you wouldn't win any medals, Dad, but you wouldn't drown. " This quote shows that even if your father isn't the best he still truly cares for you even if it doesn't seem like it.

On June 21st, 2010, Father 's Day, President Barack Obama delivered a speech in Washington D.C. addressing a crowd of his cabinet members, veterans, senators, and normal fathers. He aimed to give a speech about promoting responsible fatherhood, but his speech went beyond that. He addressed the crowd with a calm demeanor and a strong voice, and gave a speech on the importance of being a present father and the many lasting negative effects that having an absent father can have on a child. His heavy use of pathos, the appeal to emotion, gave the speech depth, and a reason for the crowd to want to listen.

I was born january 1, 1999 in fort lauderdale Fl. I was always a quiet kid until I started skating when I was five it was like love at first sight. I lived in Florida for five more years then moved to nashville. For 2 years I was depressed and homesick. School in nashville wasn't that good either I would get in trouble because I would protect myself from bullies. Once I got into middle school I became less violent. I think skating really got me away from that. Then throughout all of middle school teachers didn't like me because of my underacheving mind set. I would always tell them why do I need a peice of paper to show my intellgence. During that time I would also disregard school for skating.

On this Father’s Day, we all take time to honor our fathers and their influence on our

I can skate too. When I was elementary student, I watched the Japanese animation. The character played skate. I felt I wanted to skate too.

I like skate but I don’t felt practice at skate school. but now I thought I should have practice skate at school.

Becoming a father is a life changing experience. Most fathers will remember that one special day for the rest of their lives, while other fathers say the day their child was born was the day their life as they knew it was over. After sitting down and interviewing three different fathers who had three very different experiences before and after child birth my eyes have been opened to the multiple views, experiences, memories, and feelings these three gentlemen have experienced or will soon experience. Mr. Snyder who is currently awaiting the birth of his first child in the spring of 2015 was the first man I interviewed. Mr. Celso is the second man I interviewed. Mr. Celso and his wife experienced a very emotional and nerve wrecking pregnancy and birth of their two 4 month old twins. Lastly, Mr. Shipley was the last man I interviewed. Mr. Shipley is a father of a one year old boy. Mr. Shipley’s experience of the birth of his child was much different then the other two gentlemen given that Mr. Shipley and the mother of his son are not in any type of relationship, nor were they during their child’s birth. Each of these men shared a lot of similarities as well as an abundance of differences regarding their children and soon to be children.

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.
