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.

Final Pitch NY Yankees Win 2009 World Series Live HD

World series

It's funny how things work the New York Yankees are what started the the link that made my father and I so close. In 2003 when the Yankees beat the Boston Red Sox in the ALCS I started a mission with my dad to become a fantastic softball pitcher as my father and I chased my dream we built many links that were far deeper then softball and it all started with one Yankee play off game. It only makes sense that when I finally reached my goals it was after my beloved Yankees reached their goal. I find parallels like this one amazing.

Making Connections

My father is a very driven person I guess that is what links the business world tie into the sports. In order to keep a business running and winning a game you need similar characteristics and qualities. I think for both talents you need to be competitive and driven. When your playing a sport in order to be successful and good you must be fearless I think many people would agree that in order to cut it in business you must share the same qualities.

In my paper I want to stick to this idea to link the two things that I admire and that have shaped my father to be my role mode together.  I thought using personality traits would be very effective and I could look up a journal on research about the two. I think I may be on to something
