MyStory

My super hero is my dad. He has been working hard to feed a family of five. To other people, they might think that to earn for a family is what a father must do no matter how hard it is. However, I personally think that my father had work beyond what he can for the family. He works 12 hour a day as a taxi driver. There was one time when he was sick, he not willing to see a doctor, but he gave me money for my tution. He continue work for one week until one day, he really could not take it and fainted at home. He is willing to give up on seeing the doctor, continue cough while driving, and he give the money for my tuition.

  The second incident is that he reprimands me for getting a bad result despite having tuition. He scolds me in a way that I will felt scared. He said that since I do not do well for my exam, he will burn my report card away. He also said that he work so hard to pay for my tuition and I not doing well, what for him to work so hard. I did not hate him but I told myself that I will put him as my hero. When I study, I will think of my father of how much hard work he has done for me so that I can study till secondary 3.

  Thirdly, He always gives me the best and he takes the bad, all he did not get any. Example, he gives me chicken essence when I was having exam the next day. It was suppose to give it to my daddy as he was looking pale. He also gives me extra rice whenever we dined out. I know that I need more rice, but he himself might not get enough. I did not give back as I felt embarrassed to give back once people give.

  Forth thing is that he always fixes all the equipment in my room. There was one night where my fan was creating a lot of noise. I could not sleep; I was flipping all around my bed. My daddy went pass my room and saw me moving all around my bed and asked me what had happened. I told him and he did not care about his sleep but he immediately remove the fan off wall and he took 2 hour to fix it. Even though there is still noise but I bear with it cause I did not want my daddy to get not enough sleep. I knew he can really fix it fully but he tried his best to fix it, if not he could went to sleep without repairing it.

  Last but not lest is that he do most of the thing I wanted. Something he even go beyond his limits to get me the thing I wants. The only thing that I cannot stop him from doing is to ask him to stop smoking. I really get upset when I saw him coughing frequently when he was sleeping.
