The 2011 Father's Day Essay Contest Winners

 

Thank you to all who participated in the Black Fathers Hall of Fame Father's Day Essay Contest. We are very excited to hear of all of the loving stories from those who have submitted essays telling us what their father means to them. Happy Father's Day to all great dads around the world and congratulations to our winners of this year's essay contest!

 

Daddy means the world to me. He's a part of my life. If I didn't have him in my world I don't think I would function well. Most kids just don't understand what a good father is, but I do. My dad is a role model to me and he's a provider for my family. I look up to my dad because he's like a super hero. He has a home for us to live in, a job, he pays bills, and he loves us. That's a very big responsibility to take on and that's why he is my role model.

 

 

He is courageous and a loving person. He insists on hard work as the major key to success. To him, nothing is more important than his family and he was ready to sacrifice his wealth so that I can go to school. I quote his popular saying: "Everything is possible under the sun, fight my son, until your last dying breath because nothing comes easy. It takes much practice."

 

 

You can also have your father placed in the Black Fathers Hall of Fame at www.blackfathershalloffame.com. The Black Fathers Hall of Fame was created to honor great fathers and to promote the values of Biblical fatherhood.

 

The Black Fatherhood Foundation's mission is to encourage black fathers to stay with their children and raise them effectively. It is also the parent organization of Black Fatherhood Today Magazine, an online resource to encourage black fathers to stay with their families and raise their children for the glory of God (www.blackfatherhoodtoday.com) and the Black Fathers Hall of Fame (www.blackfathershalloffame.com).
