Write an essay in which you tell us about someone who has made an impact on your life and explain how and why this person is important to you.
Everyday I am surrounded by various people. They include teachers, students, and co-workers. Some of these people are my best friends; while others are just people I see everyday. Some of these people have made a lasting impact on me, while others have not. The figure who has had a foremost and perpetual impact on my life is also the person that I have known since I was born - my dad. He can be described as meticulous, persistent, and overall, devoted. Although we are not able to spend much time together, he always finds the time to show me how important I am in his life.
My father is undoubtedly the hardest working person I know. He stays active constantly, either by working at his job or finishing a home project. At times, he can work three jobs a day! However, he does not work for the money. Instead, he works because he enjoys it. Due to the long hours he spends working, our father-son time is sometimes cut short. He makes up for it after he gets home from work late in the evening. While I finish my physics or calculus homework, he will talk to me and ask me how life is going. This is important to me; it makes me realize how concerned he is.
My dad supports me in every aspect of my life. Whenever I make a decision, either right or wrong, he will give me constructive criticism. During grade school, he persuaded me to become involved in sports. He became the father that coached all of my athletic teams. Since then, soccer and baseball have become two of my biggest passions. . Even in high school, he can be found on the sidelines, cheering and encouraging me. Even though I am not the best player on the team, my dad supports me and is proud of me in every way. He told me that I do not have to be great at something to find enjoyment in it.
I shared many learning experiences with my dad. Whenever he is working on his old, sky-blue Chevy pickup, he points out and explains various parts on the engine. He taught me the best way to catch a fish while tailgating at the same time. We often spent hours in the back yard playing catch. He taught me the basics of how to pitch a baseball.
My father is the one who inspired my future education and careers goals as well. With my dad being in the Air Force, I was naturally exposed to all varieties of airplanes. From this exposure, I grew many passions - a passion for knowing how and what drives these marvels into the air, and a passion for reaching beyond what is imaginable. I someday hope to turn these passions into a profession. My dad expressed the importance of education in today's society. Without a proper education, my future career growth would be very limited. When I decided how wanted to pursue my potential education, such as attending the University of Texas, my father gave me the resources to better educate myself on this matter. He told me how much different it is from high school. When the time came to apply for colleges, he gave me advice for filling out college applications.
Many people probably say that their dad is the greatest, but mine really is. My dad taught me to be disciplined and to work hard for everything that I desire. He taught me ambition and optimism. In addition, he gave me the basic knowledge and tools that are required for any future success. My dad has prepared me for the future to the best of his ability. I cannot be any more thankful to him.
