My inspiration to become a father stems from my relationship with my own father. I owe the man that I am today to the morals, values, and characteristics instilled in me through him. The interactions my father has had with both my sister and I have shown me the array of emotions that come with fatherhood. I am eagerly awaiting the opportunity to mold a life in this world alongside my beautiful wife. It is an honor and responsibility that I am truly looking forward to and am ready to accept. Raising a child is one of the most selfless acts one can make, and I just hope that I am half the father that my father was to me. My goal is to implant the best of me into my children so that they can become the best versions of themselves. As the Frank Pittman quote states, “fathering is not something perfect men do, but something that perfects the man.”
