A 19-year Old Father Who Never Gave Up
And What His Daughter Has To Say
( A essay written by 16-year old Christina Lofton about her father
who raised her and brother James as a single father)
REPRINTED WITH PERMISSION FROM HER FATHER
"So did you get the results yet?" Asked my father anxiously.
"Yes, I'm pregnant", answered my mother, with a depressed look.
What most men would have done at this point is walk
out and leave the woman with the baby. But my 19-year old dad at the
time chose to take on the resonsibility. I choose my father for the
person I most admire because he's responsibile, caring and a hardworker.
Having to quit school, get a job and face all the
challenges needed to be faced. My father accepted the responsibility
and is now one of the most successful men alive. While me and my
brother were still babies, him and my mother were going through
problems. In the end my dad was left with the responsibility of two
babies.
Though very challenging my father managed to work
two jobs, take us to daycare without a car, and put a hot meal into our
bellies every night. It's very rare you see a man who raises two
children.
In order to get a good job and fulfill his dream
goal, my father decided to enroll back into college. By this time my
brother and I were a little bit older. For instance, everyday we would
get up, take the bus to school, and my father would take the bus to
work. After work he would pick us up and take us to his college, where
we would wait patiently for him to finish.
Who do you know that would handle all of this? In
the end my father finished college with flying colors and is now a
nurse. Also, the head of his department.
Overall my father is very responsible and hardworking. He is the person I most admire."
