Appreciating My Dad For Father's Day
Alexa Valdez

Dad,

Where do I even begin?

You are my dad, my twin, my inspiration, my first love.

Let me just start out by saying that I am an extremely lucky person. I grew up with both of my parents who were very supportive of me.

My dad is the reason that I work so hard to get ahead in life. The person who has literally sacrificed everything so that my siblings and I could have a better life than he did.

I cannot wait to graduate next year because all of my accomplishments are thanks to him and my mom pushing me to do my best all of these years.

My dad always taught me to appreciate everything that I have because he never had it. You name it - new clothes, food, an education. My Dad has worked hard his whole life for his family and I am forever grateful.

My dad is not just a hard worker, but he is hilarious. He always knows how to light up a room. He is always the life of the party and he is unapologetic of that. My dad is not afraid to be himself and I love that about him.

I have so many wonderful memories with my Dad that makes me appreciate my childhood. Whether it was playing sports outside like soccer, basketball or beach volleyball. My dad can do it all. He is so good at playing sports.

My dad is an amazing cook. Even though I don't live with my dad anymore, I always love to go over to eat for dinner. My Dad makes the best Mexican food. Honestly, I have never had Mexican food as good as Dad's. Don't even get me started on his salsa, it is amazing.

There are so many great things about my dad that I love so much. He is kind. He is so smart.

Papi, quiero que sepas que tu eres mi inspiracion. I am so proud of all of your accomplishments and just know that I will always be here for you.

Te quiero mucho.

Love,

Tu Prieta

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
