College Essay: My Dad

Family is one of the most important things in life. They will always be there for you when you are in the deepest trouble. There is one person who you eventually look up to, not as a family member, but something much more. A person who pops up every where through the deepest of memories, and through the toughest of times. This brave and courages person is my dad.


My father is one of the most wisesed, and smartest people I will ever know. But, what is the difference between wise, and smart. These two words are like twins, they seem the same, but there is always a difference between the two. A wise person is a person who has alot of meaning in what they say. A person who is clever and knows what to do even if you're going through the toughest rock. On the other hand, a smart person is someone who has a lot of knowlege in a different way. Suppose you are going down a rode and you have two paths. Which one will you choose. A wise person will say " My father said to never under estimate your instintcs and put your best foot foward." and with that he went to his right. A smart person said " Well, your father wasn't very smart, so he couldn't possibly be right." and with that he went to his left. The next day the wise person made it home, while the smart person was still confused down his path. My father has both wise and smart by his side, which makes me admire him even more.


Trust is one of the most important qualities, something that my dad is very fond of. My father has always trusted me no matter what. He always said " trust is hard, because if you trust the wrong person, things will go down hill." I have always trusted him. Whether he told me when you are in a bad situation, stay calm to make the situation right. I found that what he said was true, and used it when ever I am in a sticky situation. He always told me to trust yourself and you will find that trust, is very usefull.


The quality of calmness. This has always been so hard to master for many people. Something that my dad has already mastered a long time ago. When nine eleven happened, my dad was working in New York city for Verizon. There was alot of caohs then, but my dad just stayed calm. Unlike most people, they were in alot of panic. But my dad just watched the news, and he found out that there was a subway still opened  and thats the way he got home. When I am scared to death, I always talk or call my dad. He always knows what to do. He usually says to stay calm, clear your mind, and restrace your steps.


My dad has all of these four qualities, trust, calmness, smart, and wise. One day, I will also have these four qualities. Because even though ou think you already have it, you may loose it along the way.




Trust Saying: One day, fire, water, and trust were walking in the woods. " If you loose me, just look for smoke, thats where I'll be at." Fire said. " If you loose me, look for a feild of flowers, that's where I'll be at." Water said. " Well, you better not loose me, beecause if you do, you'll never find me again." Trust said.
