Life of the Best Father!

Life of my Father
Ever wondered how having an incredible work ethic generates massive benefits? I have never met anyone as hard-working as my father. After schooling for many years, he has taken jobs in Maryland, then Switzerland, and now here in Chicago. Despite having a job that requires much attention, he is excellent towards working with the family, and is always kind. Please listen to how he accomplishes all of this.
Working Overseas
My hero and father worked in Switzerland for a few years. As such, I decided to research the pros and cons of accepting a job overseas. When I looked into the subject more in depth, I realized that there are many factors to weigh in the situation. Click to read an essay containing my conclusions on the subject!
My Father
This is the 'official' photo of my father used for his classes.
Anand With School Children
In this photo, Anand is working with kids instead of pursuing his own ambitions. This is an example of one of his heroic qualities.
My Father Coaching Baseball
My father was thoughtful enough to sacrifice some of his valuable time during his teaching quarters to coach my baseball team. This fits my definition of a hero.
Hero Defining Qualities
'Hero' is a vague word that could be interpreted in many different ways. To form my personal definition of the word, I decided to try to think of people that I know are heroes, like my father, and to try and find traits that all of these people share. The definition that I came up is more complete than what one might first see when reading the word 'hero'.
A list
One of the way my dad is able to get everything accomplished and very neatly is with lists. He likes making lists to keep everything organized and to make sure he finishes every task that he wants to accomplish.
Dinner table
A constantly impressive feat is that my father is able to get home in time for dinner despite currently teaching many different classes for work.
Family room couch
My father is amazing at giving quality time to every member of our family. We sometimes gather together on this couch and watch Star Trek. This is an amazing experience that is special to everyone in the family.
My Father's Qualities
One of the greatest qualities that I admire in my father is his extremely strong work ethic. A large part of my life is chess, and as such I decided to research a chess player that also has this quality. This is how I came to research five-time World Champion chess player, Viswanathan Anand.

Life of a list!
As a list, I am a very important part of many people's lives. Everyday, Craig Furfine uses me. He writes down his tasks that he will accomplish for the day. I proudly keep these items organized, and make sure that they are seen and are remembered. While hanging out with other lists, I noticed that they are not always completed. I am able to say that Craig checks off every task in a very thoughtful, complete, manner!
I am one of the few lists that works so frequently, and I am proud of this fact.
Not only do I complete my job each and everyday, but Craig uses me with amazing diligence. Whenever I receive a task, it is neat and organized. As such, I will make sure he always completes them, and thus I am lucky to have such an amazing user as Craig Furfine.
