"Nothing matters right know, as long as you study, do good in school and go to college life for you is going to be good." My dad would always say to my brothers and sister.

  Not only is he my friend and my hero, but most important- he's my dad. Silvano Martinez, my dad, was born in Mexico. My dad came to America to have a better life for my family and even though I don't have a perfect life; my dad has given me the best he could give. My dad has a family of 4 kids named Lucila, Ricardo, Gabriel, and Adriana Martinez, and his wife named, Susana Sandoval. I wanted another baby for my family, but my dad and mom both agreed that four kids is more than enough. My dad has been in hard times even when he was a little kid. When my dad was 8 years old his mom died, my grandma. I don't know what I would have done if I lost my mom at the age 8, right now I am only 12 years old and I still need my mom to help me with things I don't understand, but my dad became a strong person even without the help of his mom. Sure I never met her, but based on what my dad tells me she must have been a really awesome person like my dad. My dad inspires me to be a stronger person and even if times are hard, just smile and say "I'm ok."


   My dad is my hero because he is a strong person, because he has lived things that a lot of people haven't experience, but my dad made the best out of it and grew up a good, caring, respectful father and husband.  My dad is a caring, strong, and helpful person. He is caring because he takes good care if his family and people he loves. He is strong because he lived through rough times, but he moved on and became a strong person because of the things he has experienced and helpful because he tries to help people whenever he can. My dad is one of the strongest people I know and he supports me 24/7.   His words are "Honey if you want something work for it until you get it nothing is impossible if you work hard for it." My dad is very devoted to his family and he takes care of us when were sick and helps us get better. My dad likes to help other people whenever possible and if he can help them.He has aspired to help others and put family before himself.

 He has aspired to help others and put family before himself. My dad has been an inspiration to my whole family and a hero to me. I love my dad and I'm sure he loves me too.
