The person who has influenced me the most in my life was my father. Not only because he was a great man or because he was the model of success since he was none of those things. It is because he was the one who cheered me on and believed in me when no one else did. Also, I learned the importance of hard work by watching my dad. He used to work 7 days a week to make ends meet. He made an effort to instill these values in me, and because of this, I often say, “It isn’t hard to work hard” and pride myself on outworking others. Last but not least, I have tried all my life to be like him.
