Push Me To Do Better

by Carlos, Santa Clara

One important man in my life is my father. He always tries to push me to do better than I’m doing. He is also a motivational speaker, always telling me to think ahead. He means a lot to me because he makes me re-think my actions and consequences. 

We always have a good connection but not when I’m in trouble. He likes to say if I get in trouble then he doesn’t want anything to do with me, but I feel like he only says that so I don’t get in trouble. 

He really pushes me to do better than I am. He’s really important to me and somewhat a good father figure. I thank him for being in my life and I will forever love him and cherish my father.
