An idol is someone who we respect or love. However, unlike many of my classmates, my idol is not a film star, a famous writer or a sportsman, my idol is my dad.
Most people believe that a man (go) out and work. However, when I was only a five-year-old boy, I was (serious) ill and needed attention all the time. My dad knew how much my mum loved her job, so he stopped (work) to stay at home and look after me. Many men in this situation would want their (wife) to stay with the child, but my dad always thinks about (other) before himself. This made me start to respect him.
My dad later took a job and worked at night. He chose the job so that he would only be out of the house when I was sleeping. Since then, my dad (help) and supported me in everything I do. I remember when I was learning to ride a bike, my dad ran behind me and held the back of the bicycle so that I would not fall. I (feel) so safe because I knew he was near. Soon, I was able to ride by (I).
My family is not rich, and we do not own a big house or an expensive car. My dad has shown me that something is (important) than money. Although he now works hard every day and is often very busy, he always makes time (stay) with me. He helps me with my homework, and plays games with me on weekends. He has also taught me that I can achieve anything if I really work hard on it.
My dad is my idol because he showed me the most important things in life.
