“Don’t you worry child, heaven has a plan for you.”

Everyone has that one person they can go to about anything and always have them supporting them through everything and anything they do. Well, I have a person like this in my life. His name is Rick. He is the person I can go to about anything. The days I feel down and just feel like giving up, he is always there to push me through. I used to get bullied and he always told me, “You can do anything you put your mind to.” He has inspired me to get my life together. Watching him do what he does and how he does things, shows me that I can do anything if I put my mind to it. This special person has been around all my life and I’m proud to say that this is my father.

Students were asked to write about inspirational people in their lives. The Elizabethton Star is proud to share these with our readers.
