MY DAD

My father has always been my greatest inspiration. Ever since I was born, I have always strived to be as awesome as he is. His name is Ruben, and he is 45 years old. He has taught me everything I know.

Childhood of my dad

He was born on December 1, 1980, here in Madrid, in San Nicasio. However, his father came from Ávila, while his mother was from Salamanca. He was the fourth child in the family, meaning he has two older sisters and an older brother.

He spent his entire childhood living near Leganés Uno and spending a great deal of time in Los Cuartos, the village where his father was born. This place became deeply meaningful to him, and he later passed that love on to my siblings and me.

education and employment

My grandfather had many jobs, but the last one was being a truck driver. From a very young age, my father fell in love with trucks and everything related to that world. That passion shaped his entire life and education, as he dedicated himself to following in his father’s footsteps. He studied mechanics, and once he finished, he started working in a car repair shop. Even today, he still loves his job, though he acknowledges how tough it is and how much time it takes away from him.

Family

He married my mother in 2004. Five years later, they decided to move to a bigger house, and that same year, I was born. I was raised by both of them, along with my grandparents. A few years later, my sister was born, and then, some time after that, my brother arrived. When I was 10, we moved into a larger house Meanwhile, my father continued expanding his business, managing to open three warehouses and building a fleet of 12 trucks.

WHY DO I ADMIRE HIM??

He has shown me how he built an entire company while also raising a family and how to handle all the challenges that come with it. He has always taught me how to overcome any problems that arise in my life. Beyond that, I truly believe my father has already achieved everything in life. He has a well-paying job, an amazing home, but above all, he has managed to build a family and provide for us.

Conclusion

Although his job takes a lot of time and effort, and we sometimes argue, I know my father and I have a strong relationship. If we ever clash, it's because we are so alike.

Of course, my father has his flaws too, but I would love to one day be a man like him and an equally amazing father.

thanks dad
