This one's for you, dad. To the smartest person I know, who's always extremely confident in himself, and his abilities, and who's taught me to do the same. A man who's always believed in me and knows that I can always go the extra mile.

I'm so thankful that I have such an inspiring role model like you in my life. You're extremely intelligent, and you give everything your all. I know for a fact that if you set out to accomplish something, you'll do it every time, and do it well.

You're also really funny lot of the time, and you always manage to make me laugh. You tell funny stories in the best way, and they always bring me joy.

If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't know or understand half the things I do now. You're right about 99% of the time, and I look up to that in a lot of ways.

Of all things, you're an amazing listener. When I tell you something that's bothering me, you listen intently and give me the answer that I need to hear, even though I may not want to sometimes.

Overall, I'm thankful for having you to mold me into the person I've become today. You've played a huge part in turning me into the wise person I am, and for that I will be eternally grateful.

Thank you for your wisdom, intelligence, and inspiration.

I love you, dad.
