Dave's ESL Cafe's Student Discussion Forums

dad used to be my hero,what he said or did seemed always right.there was no doubt about whether i should obey his authrity.
as time pass by,i realized that dad is not perfect at all.he's not a saint and even saint makes mistakes.now i am trying to get rid of some of his thoughts rooted in my mind which were once my golden rules.i am seeing the world now with my own eyes now.
the things that he complains mostly is that"you never understand your father"but i do understand him even htough i never tell coz i inheritd his bad skill in expressing my true feelings.it's sad that he's the one who doesn't really understand.
dad seems never to change but i do.i am not an angry adolescent any more.i wanna thank him for everythiong that he sacrificed for me,for running after an toddler,for understanding a moody teenager,for tolerateing a college stuent who thinks she know everything.
anyway,dad is still my hero.
