My dad has always had various insights from his life that he can pass on to my sister and me. One of the most important things that my dad has taught me is that you have to stay true to yourself and who you are. It’s important to have that confidence and be out going. For example, my parents and I were in the supermarket waiting in a tremendously long line to buy our various back to school items. My dad started to make fun of the guy in front of us, “Did you leave any food on the shelves for the other people?” The man was a little startled at first but when he saw the huge grin on my dad’s face he knew not to be offended. We talked with the guy and soon enough it was our turn to check out. What was probably twenty minutes felt like five because we were having a good time talking with the young man. As we were leaving the store my father turned to me and said “we have the power to make life interesting and meeting people is one of the ways to do it.” He has always insisted on the theory that when in doubt stick out your hand and introduce yourself.
