My Dad

 

     One person I greatly admire is my dad. There are many reasons why I admire him, but I will share with you the main three.

     My dad is a very courteous and kind person. Unlike some people I have seen, he always gives a generous amount of tips to the servants at restaurants. He told me that they earn tips only and we shouldn’t be mean to these hard workers. Every time Anna, our housekeeper, comes, he treats her as a friend and occasionally chats with her nicely. At my dad’s company, he treats all of his employees like people of equal rank. Because my dad is such a nice boss, the supervisor who works for him also brings his daughter and son to work at my dad’s company.

     My dad also has a very stable business of running his own company for almost 25 years. He makes decent money so that we have a comfortable life. And I can have quite a few after school lessons, such as golf, tennis, art, writing, and piano. His well organized schedule makes work fun for him, and he always saves some free time for our family activities like tennis, golf, and swimming.  

     My dad has good living habits. He brushes his teeth at least three times a day. He eats very healthy food and encourages us to eat lighter food with fewer oils, MSG, and fats. He always teaches me to check the nutrition facts when buying food.  He walks every morning for more than half an hour and swims 20 laps to keep fit. For reading, he urges me to read out loud sentences that are well written and then to remember them. He also washes all the dishes and cleans the stove every evening, no matter how busy he is.  

      In my opinion, my dad is the perfect gentleman and role model. I think that I am very lucky to have him as my dad. I hope that when I grow up, I can get a good stable job, and a loving family, just like my dad!
