All my life I have wanted to be sure I gave honor to my parents even when they were not around. When I was very young, I was told by my dad, "If he was not at home, because I was the oldest, I was the man of the house." This made me very strong and a caring person. Wanting to learn everything it took to be just like my dad, I studied him very, very closely. My dad never had to raise his voice or repeat himself to me, unless he chose to, he always had my full attention when he was showing me something. I never wanted to miss a word he was saying to us.
