F2F Class Notes (Vicki)

what was the time that you were most proud with your children?

How my father influenced the person who I am today.
I am a person who is rational and have positive attitude in my life. When I face difficulties, I would try my best to solve the problem and not be anxious. I like my personality and I think I it should thank my father. He has influenced me so much in my childhood.
My father was a worker and retired now. He didn’t have a good job or lots of knowledge. For other people, he was very normal, but for me, he is a very special person. His positive attitude taught me and influenced me on my personality. My family is not very rich but he never complained about things. He bought me what he could afford. So, I never worry unnecessarily about economic things. When I grew up, I don’t care about material problems too much. My father also said to me,” don’t be afraid of difficulties and when you meet problems, just face them and solve them.” It seems like my father can solve every problem and I can trust him. Now I am a person who is strong and hopeful. Parents are children’s first teachers. The environment I grew up is beneficial. I love my father and my home.
