One role model in my life is my father. He never went to university, and worked hard every day for his family. Working hard every day means that I did not see him a lot when I was in school, but I knew he was there if I needed him. My father always had a garden and many of my memories are of him working with plants. He also enjoyed playing and watching sports and encouraged his three children to be active. Today, I like to have a garden because it reminds me of him. I remember some things that he said about being on time for work, respecting people, doing well in school but I especially remember his example.
