The man I chose who is inspirational to me is my father. My father came to Canada in 1992 with no money in his pockets. Even though he has a electrician’s degree back in India which has no worth here in Canada. My father struggled a lot in the beginning, at one point he was homeless and sleeping a bus bench. Ever since he came here in 1992, my father worked endlessly, job to job, ending up being a trucker. Having a steady income, in 1998, he got married and fell in love with my mother and had me three years later. My father had a difficult past, he lived without a father and I believe it’s the reason why he is an excellent father.
At one point, everything was going well in his life, he had another child and owned five trucks. But by sheer bad luck, he lost all of those trucks by theft, accidents and mistrust leading to shortage of a lot of money. He told my mom to take me and my younger brother to go to India, because he had no ways to provide us. My mom refused him and stood by him. From that day, my father worked harder than ever without changing his love to us. Now, my father is successful, has a wonderful marriage with my mother for almost 20 years and has two kids in college.
For me, being inspirational character to others, is somebody who goes through tough moments in their past or present and uses those moments to become a better person by preserving and putting efforts.
