My next blog is going to be on somebody that is very influential and is a hero to me, that person is my dad Nejat. My dad is someone I will look up to because he came to this country with nothing, except with the hopes of creating a more safe and enjoyable life for his family.  When we first immigrated to the United States in 1994, the first thing my dad did was find a job so that he could start earning money right away for his family of five. My siblings and I were all very young and my mom didn't speak English, so he had no help from us. He would work around the clock to make every bit that he could to support us. Aside from working, no matter what happened, he always made sure the family was happy and refused to see anyone down and sad. On his days off, he would always take my sisters and I to a nearby park to play soccer and basketball, and we always had an amazing, fun time. After about 10 years of being in this country, and saving up enough, he started his own business. His business is a private town car service. At the beginning of his job, he had a hard time because it was a new thing for him, but after a year, his businsess started picking up and he got used to working the job. These are just a couple of reasons, of many, why I look up to my dad. He inspires me and motivates me to work hard and do good in school. He would always tell me to do good in school, play sports, and stay out of trouble. He would tell me education is what will make you successful in this country.
