MY FATHER IS A SOLDIER

My father was a soldier.My father name is Janting

anak Engkeng .He has served in the military for 21 years
and now my father has retired as a soldier. Iam proud of
my father.

I could not recall exactly how young I was when I

first knew that my father was a soldier,but what made me
realize what his job was were the photoghraps of him wearing
a uniform and holding a gun.I always feel so proud of my
father whenever I see him those picture. I always sense his
sincerity and courage in every
way,so I always thought my
father was invincible as a soldier.
And indeed,he is !
 Whenever he had to report for duty,my
father never bid me and my sibling goodbye. He always left at
dawn while we were still sleeping. During his absence ,I just
remember asking my mother
where my father was when I
woke up and noticed that he
was no longer around. Every
time, she told us he went
back to work already. It was
automatic for me and my
sibling that time to think that
he’s going to be away for a long time again.

What I hate most

about his job is the fact we
only had very few moments to spend with him. My father had
the habit of bringing us a new set of toys or clothes or any
material gifts each time he came home to see us, but still none
of those could take away the sadness we felt after waking up
the next day and not seeing him again.

But what I also love most about his job is his

privilege to serve our country , which only a few have the
courage to make It is something my father will have the honor
of carrying with him for the rest of his life.I also love thinking
about the kind of training that a soldier has to go
through,which makes him a superhuman in my eyes. Until
now,I am amazed at how sharp and strong my father is.
 It’s not always sad and
heartbreaking to have a soldier
for a dad,though. My happiest
memory with him was the day I
passed the exam.It was the
happiest memory Ihave with
because I knew then that the man
I look up to the most was proud of me. He and my mother
have always believed in my capabilities and finally,on that
day I was able fulfil their dreams for me. There were many
more moments as equally fulfilling ang joyful as that day and
Ialways thank God for the moments that He allowed us to
celebrate life together with my father.
THANK YOU!
