My father is one of the most hard working and giving dads I know. He is the middle child of 7 kids. My dad comes from a small town in Georgia. But he never let that stop him from going after his dreams in life. He wanted to be drum major in high school and he accomplished that. He then went on to Albany State College where he finished second in his class. He went on to Iowa State College in Ames, Iowa to get his PHD in organic chemistry. He then went to work with a company and started his journey. Along this journey he was called into ministry. He is a pastor of a church, so that meant he had to teach people and be away sometimes. But even though he had  two jobs and worked hard he never forgot about us kids. He always had time for doctor's appointments, school activities, homework, and the time to play. When we went to bed at night that's when he would do his work and things he had to get done or meet with people. He always believed in family. He taught us to always love each other and look out for each other no matter what. He never would give up on us. He believed we could be and do anything we wanted to be in life. He always worked hard so we could have just like every other kid in the community and church. We never saw him want to give up in doing what he had to do as a father. I am sure there were days, but he never showed that side to us. He helped us make the right choice in decided what we wanted out of life. He helped us out wherever he could. He never said he couldn't help, even if it was a long trip to get there. He always saw the good in people. He would help anyone that asked and looked like they needed help. I have never known him not to come through for his kids or as a matter fact to anyone else. He loved to teach us things he learned. He wanted us and others to be better than he was, so he would always teach us about life and things to get through life. He has over 60 patients in organic Chemistry. He is the author of 6 Christian books and lots of other publications. He has another PHD in Pastoral Studies. I don't know how he does all of what he does and still have the time for his family, work, ministry, and to help people, but he does. I think he is the best giving and hard working  dad I know, that why I think he should be in the hall of fame for fathers.
