Band 8+: Describe a person who encouraged you to achieve a goal.

The first person who comes to my mind when I think of somebody who has inspired me to achieve my goal is perhaps my father. He is the man who is so resilient. The number of challenges life has thrown at him and the number of times he has gotten up and gotten back at it with a new vigor and energy. I hope to be as courageous as him someday. He is somebody who has changed his profession because of surprising coincidences honestly which interrupted his career and he has changed his career almost three times now and he is still a very very successful actor. He has gone from pharmacy to business to acting and although I don’t hope that my life will be filled with as many challenges as his but I do hope that I can be somebody like him who can face challenges in the professional world and still strive and be a good person at heart and a good family man and a good father and I can also model him when I grow up in the future. I also would like to talk about my teacher, my dance teacher who is somebody who is perhaps very different in nature from my father. She is a very soft, very lively, warm person. However she is somebody who has also taught me the importance of being down to earth and being nice and being pleasant and that is something I think which is very very valuable. She has taught me how important interpersonal relationships are and how important it is to maintain them throughout even when you perhaps do not feel like doing so. So I think she is a person who has really taught me how to navigate the social scene while my father has really motivated me to achieve my goals and to strive and to work hard and to push through things. She has taught me how to do all of that and yet stay humble, yet stay a nice person, how important it is to be pleasant, how important it is to control our manners and that I think really helps me in achieving my goals in my current life.
