''my dad''

My hero is my dad. Because he really supports me and my family. Whenever we are alone he is there for us. He works hard at his work and at home because he really cares about us. He is a hardworking and giving father.

He works at Boston Scientific from Monday thru Friday. His favorite thing he likes to do with me is play catch with a football. Sometimes we watch some football or basketball with our friends or sometimes we go to our friend's house and watch it there. When we have extra time we like fixing things like my bike or fix things around the house or watch something on TV.

The thing that he has done heroic is take care of me and my sisters and other family members. When one of my cousins lost his job my dad was paying for his car until he got another job. He is always there for us when we need him. If he is not there, when he is ready he will help you.

He is a hard working father because he does everything for us. He pays for things around our house, the bills, the house payments and he buys us things that we need for everybody around our house. He is also a very caring man. Because he cares about my family when someone needs something he always gives it to them. If he does not have it when he gets it he will tell you he has it. He is also a loving father. Because he loves everybody in my family and everybody else. He loves everybody equally. He does not like people who are racist against other people's races.

The way that it has affected me is that he helps a lot of people who needs help, supports my family and whoever who needs help and caring. He loves everybody in my family equally, he never leaves anybody behind when they need him. That’s why I want to be like him - a hardworking, caring and a loving father.

I wish everybody had a dad like mine because he really cares about everyone and we care about him and everyone who needs caring. He is always there for everyone. If everyone had a dad like mine the world would be perfect.
