What Inspires Me

papanme Family. Many take their families for granted. However. to me, family is very important. They say that "You don't know what you have till it's gone", this is especially true for me. I used to take my family for granted and chose to hang out with friends over spending time with my family. We used to be a happy family. My dad, mom, older sister, brother, younger sister and I used to live under one roof. Now what's left of the family is just, My dad, sisters and I. Due to certain reasons, the family has broken up. However, I shan't let this stop me. In fact, I intend to work even harder to make my father proud of me. This is to repay him for his sacrifices. At the age of 64, he is still working to support us. His job requires him to sail the dangerous parts of the seas and each time he leaves for work, I wonder if I'll ever see him again. My father is my idol and I look up to him and strive to be like him. A disciplined, caring and loving man. He might not show us love the same way that other fathers do but, I am sure that he loves us.
