I’m looking forward to being a dad (eventually, not now) because I get excited about the opportunity to teach and care for my own kids one day. I think its a blessing that we get to take part in caring for new life, so I want to give it everything that I had fortune of having and more. This is the legacy that I can help shape and impact directly with my actions and behavior. I think about how independent I want my future kids to be, to be able to talk with me, understand how to respect others and assess different situations without overpowering them. I want them to know that any opportunity they want to have, they can achieve and I will support them. Being able to love and support them isn’t a burden it’s a blessing; I’ll be staring at little mes and want nothing else but to give them everything they need to make a positive impact on the world.
