7. My dad
The quality that I admire the most about my father is his
diligence. He is the most hard working person I know, and he has done
everything that he can to provide a better life not only for himself, but
also for my sister and me. Even though he worked really hard, my dad
always had time for my sister and me and was very involved in our
lives.
When my dad was growing up, he didn’t have a lot of money.
His family struggled to make ends meet. However, he worked himself
through college, worked himself up in the business world, and became
successful. He made smart decisions about money and tried to teach
Laura and me to do the same.
Even though he ended up earning a lot of money, he didn’t
give it out to us freely, but made sure we knew the value of hard work
and delayed gratification. Thanks to him, I know that while I will
always be smart about money, money is not the most important thing
in life. Spending time with family and the people that you love is, and
my dad has showed that through his actions.
