Daddy’s Little Girl

Growing up there was never a day I was not with my father. My father had always taught me many values things in life as did my family. Though I never thought about it in the moment it happened. As I get older and look back I noticed growing up with a close relationship to my father I have grown and matured into the young adult I am today.

One of my favorite memories with my father was when my brother and I didn’t have school and dad didn’t work, so he decided to take us to the mountains. It was really random but my brother and I loved the fact that we would be going to the mountains. Driving up the mountain the view was amazing the trees were green and the air was crisp and very fresh, my brother and I enjoyed the beautiful mountains and played I spy. Once we got up the mountain my brother and I raced to the river, we played in the river and got scared by the water spiders, but dad scared them away. While we played my dad made us sandwiches. Once my father finished making the sandwiches he called for us to eat. While we ate our delicious sandwiches that my father made with love, we dried off in the warm sun and soft cool breeze. Once we were dried my father said it was time to go. Although reluctant we got in his van. My brother and I were so tired that the motion of the can helped us fall asleep, and didn’t wake up until we got home. Looking back I realized that spending time with family is important. I also learned that being spontaneous is good every once in a while.

Although my father and I were being spontaneous one of the valuable things I learned came from an unexpected day that I slept in my dad’s van. It all started when my father and I decided to go to KFC for dinner. At KFC we waited what seemed like for...

Therefore growing up with a close relationship with my father, I have grown and matured into the young adult I am today. Through all of these memories I have learned the importance of spending time with family, because you never know when they will be taken from you. Moreover, spending time with my father taught me that I can’t always control what happens in life, and that I should learn to accept things and try and make the most of the situation. However one of the most important values I learned from my father is to never forget where I have been, because I never know when I may need to find my way back. I mostly use this lesson in knowing where I have been so I won’t forget what life experiences have helped form the young adult that I am today.
