I was barely 3 years of age when my grandparents took me to live with them. My parents were sad but they have to make a sacrifce for my well-being. But it is my Dad who sacrificed the most. He did not think of his pride or ego being the man of the family.
During the time I was living with my maternal grandparents, my Dad took whatever job that is available. He became a part time driver, a security guard and he even came to the point of trying his luck to work abroad. He was not lucky in that aspect as the agency was a scam. His savings gone. He has to start all over again and be strong for his family's sake.
When my youngest brother was born, he brought my mom back to her hometown for a visit and when he got back, he has no more job to go back to. The agency had done some cost cutting measures. But because he was doing his job properly, his boss took pity on him and asked him to go to this company and look for his wife who is an HR. And with God's grace, he got accepted to work at international airport. He was assigned at the medical department as messenger and driver for one of the doctors. Because of his hard work, he was given a training to become a paramedic and now drives the ambulance.
From that time until this day, my Dad's determination of never giving up has given him a successful life. He may not have become the boss of the company or did he become a celebrity but having achieved his goal of making life better for his family in terms of finances and giving his family their needs and love and care is the most that he was able to achieve.
My dad, is my Man of Excellence for having gone through all those hardships and trials without giving up.
