So I get to write a descriptive essay about a special place or person. I think I 'll write about a family member who has had an impact on my life. I have so many important people in my life right now my husband, daughter, son, mother, and siblings. I 've been thinking a lot about my deceased dad.

I remember one time when I was getting ready for my first dance and my dad said "are you sure you want to wear that", implying that it was less than pleasing. I responded "yes I like it and I don 't care if anyoe else likes it because I do." Even though I was standing my ground against him he still valued my confidence.

Although I don 't condone violence my father instilled a since of duty to uphold justice at a young age. My Father continued to exihibit an extraordinary work ethic by working from sun up to sun down. In order to spend quality time with him I would sometimes go to work with him during the weekends. He would teach me how to use his tractors and other equipment. I 'm very greatful I 'm able to cherish these little moments now.
