Tomato Case

"Don't just say it, do it" thats what my dad would say every single day of my life. I don't have a hero , but I have my dad. Ever since I could understand what he say my dad have always told me "Rachel, do you know how lucky you are, you have a free future lying in front of you?" And i would always reply to my dad "yes, I know and I will always do my best for the chances I have."

My dad grow up in a very behind little town in China so he never had a chance to go to college . My dad loves to go to school, but because his family is really poor so he had to give up the education and start work when he's really young. Going to college is always one of my dad's dream, but he couldn't accomplished so he want my sisters and I to accomplish the dream for him.

My dad is a hard working man, I've never seen anyone work harder than my dad. Because of the lower education he can not work in a comfortable place so after he had save enough money he had open a restaurant with all his saving, but working in a restaurant is really not a easy job. I remember the times when my dad injured his armpit, and later on the armpit got infected, but he still have to work. He had work in the heat and it would hurt him painfully. But all I could do is watch him in pain. Even if my dad work 7days a week and 11hrs a day he still able to take care of this family. He's the one of the family like a knight protecting the king because all he want is all of us go to college and won't be like him.

Moreover,my dad is the motivation and preparation for me to go to college. Not because he tells me I have to go, but because I see a spark of hope for a better living for my dad and my family. Because I don't want to see my dad in pain anymore. I use to depend on him for everything, now I want him to depend on me. On the other hand I am able to pursuit the dream I have always wanted to pursuit.
