Do you have any person who you want to resemble and follow as a role model of your life? I think everyone has his respecting person who affect himself deeply, such as their parents, their teacher or a remarkable person in a history. I respect my parents, too and I am proud of them like most of you. However, in this chance, I’d like to show you my another respecting person. He is my friend’s father. He has affected me a lot in that he has been a man of integrity and knowledge. Moreover, he has been a man of health.

        First of all, he has been living in his whole life honestly, sincerely and fairly. Also, he has lived his life which help others who need his care. When he was younger, he took care of orphans in his own small orphanage. Due to caring for orphans and managing his orphanage, he lived alone, not married, until forty. During that time, he had to use all money he earned for his orphans, so he was always poor but he was happy, he said. After early forty, he met a woman who had beautiful mind and he married her because she considered his work as so good thing. As times going, his caring for orphans was getting difficult more and more because his wife’s and his income was limited. As a result of that, he handed over his orphanage to government facility and then he started studying theology. After studying, he became a pastor and worked for a small village in which poor people were living. Indeed, he lived his all life faithfully and purely.

Secondly, he has a lot of knowledge. Whenever I went to my friend’s house, I used to be surprised at so many books he had. My friend’s and his room are filled with many books. I remember he had books more than 2,000. Four sides of each room have bookshelves. Also, he really liked reading books. Every time I saw him, he was reading a book. I am sure that he had a lot of knowledge resulted from his wide and deep reading. In addition, even though I was a young boy, he recommended me a lot of good and new books and taught me how to read books and choose good books. I think I learned a lot of real, good and precious things from him.

Finally, he is a man of health. He really enjoyed biking and playing badminton. Every day I could see him exercise his body. Once in a while, I would play badminton with him but it was very difficult to defeat him even though I was younger than he. He used to say that being healthy is the most important thing in my life. Even now, although he is over eight years old, I hear he continue to enjoy biking and play badminton. He is very healthy, now.

Whenever I phone my friend, I ask my friend of his father’s regard and I can hear he gets along very well. I always miss him and try to be like him in such as trying to help someone who need my help, reading a lot of books and doing exercise my body.
