Jose F Mendez.

One person that I respect the most is my Dad. His name is Jose Francisco. He lives in Venezuela. It is been two years since I came to the US to learn how to speak another language other than Spanish. After a year, my dad wanted me to look for some universities even though that was not the plan I had in mind for me. He made me realize that here in Chicago I could have a better future than the one I could’ve had back in Venezuela. I admired him because I know that it wasn’t easy for him to let me go away from home. I guess that is what parents do. They look out for the people they love and he always supported me. Now I just get to see him once a year, and that made me realize how important he is for me and how much did I learn from him. He makes me feel proud of having such an amazing dad. I also respect him because he was always a good example for me and my brothers. Thanks to my dad I am where I am today in life.
