“Don’t give up on what you think is hard - the easy way is the bad way”

Where my dad works

What I have lived up to my whole life, this quote was from my dad very wise and sometimes hard headed just like me. He knows when to act funny and to act serious but sometimes very strict with me when he has to be, but he knows sometimes I need the extra push to get on my feet. My dad is very protective with my sisters and me because he knows there are crazy people in the world but he means well. My dad is more worried about us than he is for himself. He cares about me a lot. He always gets me stuff that I don’t need and when I do need stuff, we always get as soon as possible.

My dad is a neat freak; if my room is not clean he will tell me before I do anything that day and if it’s not clean and which I try to go the easy way he tells me to do it again and again till I get it right the first time. My dad has been through a lot. He broke out his back and just got out of retirement, he almost killed himself in a jeep accident on the mountains, fell off his motorcycle on the freeway because some random guy cut him off going to the emergency room.


My dad works for the city of Santa Monica. He’s been out of retirement for a while but just got back. He works every Monday Tuesday Wednesday and Saturday. His job is very exciting. He works with the trucks on the beach picking up the loose trash and just relaxes some days but he works with very cool people. His boss is a very close friend to the family and very funny.

My dad loves living, he always tries to live to the fullest always going on the scariest rides, and does crazy stuff but now he has settled down a little bit because he has three kids to worry about, but he still does find ways to have fun and this is why my dad is my hero and i will never forget what he does for me.
