The person I’m most proud of is my father. His recent accomplishment is participating in a competition in my country called Fourours et Sous-Pédonnois. This competition consists of several parts including reading, logic literature, foreign literature, and a segment dedicated to writing poems. my father excelled at writing poems and he was eager to take part in this competition. Finally, initially I thought the competition would be challenging and I expressed my concurrence about the possibility of him failing and being disappointed. However, he insisted saying no, I want to go. With that determination, I began to support him wholeheartedly. He participated in the competition which has four stages and he excelled by taking first place in the first, second and third stages. In the final stage he secured third place. This competition is well recognized through Tajikistan, so his success garnered attention and many people began to recognize him. They would often exclaim, while your father’s points are so meaningful and beautiful, as a result I also become known and I felt an overwhelming sense of pride. And I was proud to be his daughter, especially since we have a community at the library where I often visit. Whenever I go there and share my name, other people react with surprise saying, oh my God, his daughter and at times I felt a bit embarrassed but my pride overshadowed it. I admire my father for not letting my initial doubts tater him. Throughout his journey I focused on him and his achievements rather than on myself or my concurrence. Ultimately he accomplished something that he truly deserved and I’m genuinely proud and happy for him.
