Out of all the people I have met, my father is the most influential in my life. He has made an impact in me through both his word and his actions.

When I was very young, my father took an interest in which I did. In addition, he taught me to work hard. Once I took part in music competition, but I had to practice playing the piano for weeks and weeks. I became discouraging, but my father sits with me each evening and helped me learn my songs well. What's more, my father has been influenced me by his example, work hard to do his best in everything.

I am thankful and I hope I can make him proud of his life.
