One person I care about very deeply is my father. He is The reason why he means so much to me is because he helps me whenever I need it, plays sports with me and is just like one of my friends. My father is always happy to help me. He always has time to help me with anything I need. Sometimes, when I don't understand a certain thing in my homework, he works the problem out with me until I fully understand how to solve it myself. He is very curious and always shows me different ways to solve my problems. If I have to do household chores, he's always the first one I call. He and I work together as a team and finish them. Also, I speak two languages, so it's a little difficult when I talk to my parents not to confuse the two languages. Luckily, my dad helps me by correcting me if I mispronounce a word or phrase and reminds me every time I make the same mistake, so it will stick in my head forever. This way, when I talk to my grandparents or other family members, I know how to speak correctly. Soccer, basketball, baseball, football. Whatever sport you call it, my dad is spectacular. He is extremely athletic. When he was younger, he played many different sports. Now teach me to play them too. For example, every year in school we had to play soccer, football and softball with our class, and my father always helped me practice. We would go to the park for hours and practice. I would always have so much fun! Since I've had it, I've been much more interested in sports. My dad is just like one of my friends. The first reason is because he and I always joke with each other. I can be completely myself with my father. Even though my dad is an adult, he still likes to have a little fun from time to time. One of our favorite things to do is prank each other. It's fun! We usually play pranks on my mother when she doesn't expect it. Another reason why my dad is just like one of my friends is because I can always count on him.
