10 Reasons My Dad Is My Hero

So I would say that my dad is probably the best dad there is. I guess it is because he's the first one I saw when I came into this world. I knew he would be the man I'd love for the rest of my life unconditionally. Honestly, I really wish it was possible to put this into words how great he is and how much he means to me, but I can't really even come close. However, I can share why I think he's so great and will always be my biggest hero.

1. He's understanding

I've done some pretty stupid things in my life, and sure, he gets mad, but he is always quick to forgive and move on. Sometimes my explanations are really silly, but he always seems to be able to relate to my stories and my struggles.

2. He's talented

So remember when you were little, and you'd listen to your dad talk to coworkers, and he'd sound so intelligent and smart because you had absolutely no idea what he was saying? Yeah. I'm still this way today. He is so good at what he does that it amazes me.

3. He's funny

Some dads have a really odd sense of humor. He never fails to make me smile, that's for sure.

4. He's loving

My dad calls me while I'm at college. Some of my friends never hear from their dads, or maybe hear from them once in a while. Not me! I hear from him multiple times a week. It's really cool to have someone always curious how you're doing and how school is treatin' ya. I'm really lucky that my dad loves me so much.

5. He's humble

I learned how to be humble from my dad. I honestly did not understand why someone wouldn't want to brag about their triumphs and talents until my dad showed me that there are better ways to do so.

6. He's patient

When we screw up, he doesn't freak out or yell at us. Instead, he encourages us to try again or make it right.

7. He's encouraging

After the first few months of school concluded, I was a mess. I was afraid my grades weren't up to my own standards and that would cause me to not be successful later on in life. I called my dad and he was nothing but kind and encouraging. He told me everything was going to be okay and that my grades were probably not THAT bad. Turns out, my grades were great, and it was all in my head. But without his encouraging words, I probably wouldn't have performed as well this semester.

8. He's reliable

I have a lot of reliable people in my life, but the person who I find most reliable is my dad.

9. He's selfless

My dad does very few things for himself. I guess you could say almost every action he does is for someone else. I find this to be the most admirable quality that my dad has. I hope to someday obtain this wonderful attribute.

10. He's MY dad

Goodness, I couldn't imagine having a better father than the one I have. Through good times and bad, he never gives up on me. He is the most kind, caring, and wonderful person in my life, and I am so lucky to be his daughter.

I love you, Dad.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
