Those who truly know us for who we are, are the people that have the most influence in our lives, such as our parents. In my case, it is my father who has greatly impacted my life. He has stood beside me through thick and thin. I know that as long as he is here on this earth, he will stand beside me to love and support me unconditionally as he has done all these years. It is because of him that I am who I am today. Behind my choices, my character, my values, and behind me, proudly stands my father.
All throughout my chilhood I have been closer to my father than I am to my mom. He has been an amazing friend to me, but an even better parental figure. Laying down the rules for me and establishing boundaries when needed. It is because of the love and respect I have for my father that I am now cautious of the choices I make. I cherish his approval and fear his disappointment in me. I feel confident that all the life lessons he has taught me and the advice he has given me, will continue to shape my standards and values in life.
Coming from a tradional Malay family, he raised me and my lil sister the way my grandmother raised him. I have been taught that honesty, integrity, hard work, and respect should be constituted into daily living. And that to get what we want in life, we have to earn it.
Although I wasn't brought up in a life of splendor, I acknowledge that I live a comfortable lifestyle due to the the hard work and effort my parents have put into life. Their perseverance is an example I want to follow. My father with the help of my grandparent, has exceed the expectations others had of him. Coming from a poor family, and with very little education, he moved to the city with one goal in mind, and that was to make a better way of life for himself. With that, they were able to provide my lis sister and I, gadgets , facilities that others didnt have. And for that I am extremely grateful to them.
Now that I am old enough to understand that my father was able to overcome adversity, and accomplish all that he has, inspires me everyday to make myself a better person. I greatly admire his strength and strong will, and I am extremely proud to be his daughter. And in my father's words, " we only get one chance to live our lives, so it is up to us to take what we have and move forward in life. Our future is not set in stone, we create the path of our own destiny."
I love you daddy with all of my heart . Note that please . <3
