I´ll be thanking my dad!

 The true hero: Father

I Part

There are many people who have had an impact on my life: for instance, my mom and teachers, but the person who has had a major impact on my values, beliefs, and my overall growth as a person is my father Isaias. My father grew up in a family of five in the small town of Carchi, Ecuador. I learned valuable life experiences from my father, especially his diligent nature, wisdom, and most importantly his selflessness.

I remember that my father, brother, sister, and I visited father’s old house in the small town of Carchi-Túlcan every year because of my dad has summer vacation once a year on 10^th December. It took a long time to get there on foot. While he told us about his devastating childhood, I felt a little bit nostalgic, but it taught me how to be more grateful for what I currently have in my life instead of looking for what I don't have. The story of my father’s life made me happy and at the same time inspired me to imitate his diligence, perseverance, and professional ethics. However, of all the lessons I learned from him, the most important lesson he taught me was always to be selfless. Everything my father did, whether it was, study or work, was for his family.
