2. MY FATHER’S Legacy of Hard Work Jordan Evans This is an excellent paper. Ms. Collins John Phillips Marquand once said, “ It is worthwhile for anyone to have behind him a few generations of honest hard-working ancestry.” That is one of the reasons I cherish my dad. He has exemplified what it is to be an honest, hard-working man, and he has inspired me through his actions and words. My dad is a hard-worker. He is also not a quitter like most people who give up in life. He works hard to put food on our table. My dad has never been fired from his job his whole life. When he was sixteen he wanted a car.His mom told him, “If you want a car you have to get a job.” The next day, he found a job, and he has been working there for twenty-three years now. I want to become an man like my dad. I want to do something with my life. I would like to find a good job that I can stick with until I get a better one. I would like to get a good steady job that pays good money so I could start a new life. As I get older , I am starting to think like my dad. I just want to become successful like my farther .When he started he was making six dollars an hour.Now he is making about thirty dollars now. My farther is the person I admire because he is successful an that’s what I want to be--SUCCESSFUL!!!
