“My life isn’t perfect like many want to assume. To get to where I am today, I’ve had to overcome many obstacles. My life as a child was devastating especially concerning my father. When father day comes along, I missed my father dearly. As a child I wondered why I didn’t have a father. My mother told me that my father works abroad in a foreign country, so when I saw a plane, I imagined that my father was on that plane. It was heart breaking when father’s day was celebrated at school, I didn’t have a father to hold as my friends did. I only had a teacher to sit by. ”
