Honestly, my family is a big source of pride for me, but I want to pinpoint an occasion when I was literally proud of my father. A few months ago, he got his first Doctor of Science diploma, which is a really high academic qualification. It took him a decade or more than a decade of hard work, research and dedication to his work to finally achieve this goal. I clearly remember how busy he was throughout this period. He often stayed up late working on his research, but on the other hand he could also spend some time with his family. What made me feel proud of isn’t just the diploma but the discipline and perseverance he showed throughout the journey despite facing two-faced people, pressure, stress but he never gave up. He always believed himself and we were always supporting him whatever he is facing with. Seeing his success really inspired me, it showed me that age doesn’t matter for what you achieve. It’s also possible to achieve your goals if it’s really hard or easy one. Because of this my father has become a role model for me both academically and personally and also this achievement made me feel proud of him but I’m also really insured that I can be one day so that’s really perfect experience for me and my father
