Final Product


My final paper did not include everything I originally wanted to include and at first I was disappointed. I realized that if I wanted to show everything I felt and researched my paper would have had to be 20 pages so I settled with main ideas like how lucky I am to have a father how is so involved in my life and how much we are alike. I know that I for one feel that even though I could not include everything I had planned to I am lucky have found out everything I found out. Through the process I found research that has made me feel so lucky so have my father. I also asked him many questions that I would have never asked if it wasn’t for this project and I am so happy I know them. This project benefited me in many ways and I am very happy role models were our topic.

Ending


I ended researching my mother's disease M.S (multiple sclerosis) and my grandmas cancer Colon Cancer I found a lot of facts that I am going to include in my paper because I made another connection between father and I. My mom has M.S and my dad has always been extremely supportive and has always helped her in whatever she needed. My father also grew up with a mother who was sick my grandmother had Colon cancer while my dad was growing up and his father to was very supportive and willing. I compare the situation because both my mother and my grandmother are strong people the strongest I know and they were both sick during my father and my childhood and the situations were nearly identical. When I asked my dad what it was like when my grandma had cancer he told me that it felt similar to when my moms M.S was active. We made a lot of connections between the way we felt and reacted to everything. It was just one more thing we share and it also is a really good point to include in my paper.
         Writing this paper has brought up so many things that I had never thought about. When I started this paper I thought it was going to be all about how my father and I share a passion and it made us have a very special relationship but in the process I realized that there is way more between us then just a shared passion. There are so many reason we are similar people.

Presentation

I hope the presentation went well. I am trying to make this paper the best I can. The problem that I am having is avoiding a autobiography as I write my paper. In my presentation I did my best to example the goals of my paper and avoid just telling you guys about my dad. I wont this paper to have some of myself involved in it and why I see my father as a role model and more importantly how he reflects in me. I have so much I would like to include and it is very hard to tie it to thesis statement so I really appreciate the advice during my presentation.
