Hippocampus. It's a word I've used to confuse people around me. I thought I would be the only one I know who knew its true meaning. Not surprisingly, almost everyone thought it was a school for hippos. Well, almost. Until I arrogantly mentioned it during a typical family dinner. The man sitting in front of me replied, "Oh really? Well, I actually know what that means, it's a part of your brain." To summarize, that was the day I felt extreme cognitive dissonance. But it was also the day I took my father much more seriously. My father's full name is John Doe. He was born on January 3, 1961 in Indonesia. He is a son of Peter Doe and Martha Smith. In Indonesia people are very passionate about food. Growing up as a child, he was very active and loud. He was considered a brave boy. Despite this, he was actually terrified of getting lost in the crowd, especially in a market full of people. His father's name is Peter. His father worked as a jeweler. Their home was filled with a radiant, but also almost calamitous atmosphere. This is because he has 3 brothers. His mother was the only woman in the house. He is a very composed, loving person and always shows a high level of energy, even to this day. His father is the most influential person for him, especially for his example of diligence and loving care. During his school life in Indonesian Methodist School, Lock was his nickname. He was one of the few children who really enjoyed studying. Describing him socially as a student, he was a sociable and caring person, while on the academic side he was... middle of paper... easily spotted among the new gadgets for children. He remembered that in the past their source of entertainment was mostly from TV. As an adult, he has an opinion on political issues. He personally admired President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. He believed he was a person of integrity and a great example of a transformational leader. Currently, he has some things he would like to accomplish in life that he hasn't accomplished yet. These include the desire to own a large mansion. Recently, he also enjoys looking at different house styles and designs. His life has been a journey from a dreamer to a successful man. When I asked him what his advice would be for teenagers, he responded, “Love the Lord, honor your parents, and achieve excellence in academics with a successful career in life”..”
