''Kids are to be seen not heard''

My dad is a respectful man. He is nice to every person he meets. He helps a lot of people like every year he takes the tractor down the road when it snows and he make sure nobody is stuck. He respects the elderly and he always grows a garden and gives it to people that need the food more than we do. He will never talk bad about you behind your back even if you talk bad about him. He tries to always do the right thing to show me what i should be like when i grow up. He wants me to grow up to teach my kids how he taught me to while i was growing up. He tells me that you put family then friends before anything. If one of his friends needs something he does it for them no matter what it takes. He always tries to help them. My hero would help you do anything you needed if you are one of his friends.

My hero is responsible in many ways. He works to put food on the table so i don't starve. He tries to teach me how to act even when i have done lots of stuff wrong. He does not yell, he knows how to handle a situation. He does not yell because yelling makes it worse. He try his hardest to bring it up and give me a good habitat to grow in and he always is trying to keep me out of trouble by bribing me and compromising with me to do good.

My dad has trust worthiness because when he borrows something he always takes very good care of it no matter what its value is. He would always ask you before he takes something. He never steals and he can not stand someone to steal from him. He tells me you should never steal from someone.

My dad is caring because he always is helping someone who really needs it. If you need something he would do whatever it takes to help you with whatever it is. No matter how far out it puts him, he would still do it for whoever needed it even if you have done him wrong before.

My dad has fairness because he treats every one with respect. He treats people the way he would like to be treated. For example he and my neighbor got into an argument and no matter what my neighbor said my dad just said that he did not want to fight and that's how my dad is a fair man.
