I admire my dad the most. When I was 11 and my brother was 8 my parents divorced and my dad was who we chose to live with. He busted his butt to make sure we had everything that we needed. Because he worked so hard, up and gone by 3:30 a.m and home some times after midnight, I took on alot of responsibility but I would not have changed it for the world because it made us a stronger family unit. To this day my dad asks me if I need anything at least 4 times a week. He is definatly my hero. I'm glad that he lives close enough for my kids to see him and spend time with him practically every day.

i think it would have to be my mom. the woman has gone through so much and treated us so well. she had the burden of being pregnant with a child that was a huge surprise and not having her husband support her, going through physical abuse, and finding out about an affair that broke her heart. she's a strong woman and even though its been a couple of years since that, she's still had problems but her cheery disposition hasnt changed.

I admire my mom. She is my hero. She is my world. She raised us even though she we were left by our father who have a new family. She stands as father and mother to us since I was 9 years old. Now, I am 23. See I even got educated and sent to schools by her. We are 3 children of her. I love you mom. I am working hard today to payback all your hardworks.

I would have to say that I admire my mom most of anyone in my family. She raised my sister and I as a single mom from the time that I was 7 and she was 12. Looking back on all the memories, it must have been very hard for her to do. But she did it, with help from my uncles and grandmother.

Hi,Welcome to this amazing site .. For me the person I admired should be my parents as well..haha.I remember when I was in my high school which is a little bit further from my house so my parents rent me a house near the school I studied and cooked my favorite meal each day.what I was amazed most at that time is that my mother even cooked the meal both for my brother who still lived in my house and me in the house I rented . I am amazed how my mother could balance that in probably the same time .thus I admire my mother most ;-)

The thing that I really admire with my family is the bonding that we had. We usually sleep in one room. This gives us a moment to spend some quality time with each other.

I know that the most I admire would have to be god for he was the one to give me life and have life here on earth. He was the one to help me become who I am today. He has helped me learn through everything in my life whether good or bad and he has been not only a great friend to me but a father who I will always admire for years to come il my dyeing day.

I admire my mom most! She strive hard for us to have good education and future. Suffered being away from us just to give things that we want. She's been protective but on the right way. On the other hand, my dad has been quiet all these years, he's been supportive but simple in the way he show his love.

I would have to say I admire my brother and all that he's accomplished. He's only 2 yrs older than me and he's in the military and has his own house and I am looking to follow in his footsteps.

By Far I would say My mother. She has been through so much in life. My biological father years ago did some bad things that led my mom to a lot of stress, she passed up many opportunities to make sure us kids had a great life. Then when she finally was able to make a change she married a man who decided to be just as bad as my original father. This caused much more grief as you would imagine, except this time it was worse, she was diagnosed with Cancer and they almost found it too late. Now she is being screwed by the state and government. I do everything I can to help her, but in the end there is only so much I can do. I admire the way she makes something good out of a bad situations. She is definitely my hero..

That would have to be my mother. She was and is always there for me. She did it all on her own. My father was pretty much useless. I owe the person I am to her. She is a good and caring person. I owe my confidence in my self to her.

I admired my father, when we are young, our mother leave us for another man. That is very painful for us and also on my fathers part. But he never leave us for another woman. He continue to take care of us. I am very proud of my father. The best father in the world.
