So the person I want to talk about is none other than my father who has run his company since 2013 and initially he used to work as a taxi driver but then he and his friend decided to go for their business. And my father is a co-founder of a Russian company that produces and sells steel and iron. So initially, my father could not develop his company on a national level and the only place he focused on was Lipovsk, our hometown, but then his business was growing more and more and currently he’s working on an international level with some neighbour countries. I think that my father has taught me to always take the initiative if I want to achieve something. And also, he has shown me that it’s important not only to reach for the stars, stars, but also to stay disciplined and do something in order to chase and approach your ambitions, not only to dream about some goals that you have. So I really try to look up to my father, to look up my father, and I aim to become as successful as he is.

So the person I want to talk about is none other than my father, who has run his company since 2013. Initially, he worked as a taxi driver, but then he and his friend decided to start their own business. My father is a co-founder of a Russian company that produces and sells steel and iron. At first, my father could not develop his company on a national level, and the only place he focused on was Lipovsk, our hometown. However, his business has been growing more and more, and currently, he's working on an international level with some neighboring countries. I think that my father has taught me to always take the initiative if I want to achieve something. He has also shown me that it's important not only to reach for the stars but also to stay disciplined and take action to chase and approach your ambitions, rather than just dreaming about your goals. I really try to look up to my father, and I aim to become as successful as he is.
