| My dad is the man whom I respect the most in my life. |
| He works very hard to make the money that supports us. |
| My mother has a job too, |
| and she also works very hard. |
| My dad is the principal of a high school. |
| He works at the school all day, and often has to go to meetings at night. |
| He deals with parents, students and staff. |
| There is always something that he has to deal with. |
| He has a lot on his mind. |
| It doesn’t matter how much work my dad has to do; he always has time for my brothers, my sister and me. |
| If I go to him with a problem, he will sit down and discuss it with me. |
| He doesn’t yell. |
| He is always very logical, and he tries to think of the best way to deal with things. |
| My dad is a very patient man. |
| Once, I spilled some ink on some papers that he was working on. |
| I thought that he would be mad, but he didn’t get angry. He said that it was okay. |
| He takes time out to do things with us. |
| He has taken my brothers fishing. |
| He takes me to the arena to skate, and he helps my sister to write her essays and assignments. |
| He always makes us laugh, |
| and he makes us feel like we are very special to him. |
| He is a very good father, |
| and on Father’s Day I always buy him a card that tells him just how much he means to me. |
| I think it is important to have good parents. |
| I hope that when I have children I will be a good parent like my parents are to me. |
| Parents give children the foundation that they need to live good lives. |
