My Dad went through more life decisions than an average man should go through. The most impacting out of all of them was when he took me away from my mother. I know what you're thinking, OMG THAT'S TERRIBLE HE SHOULD GET ARRESTED!!!! >:( But it was for a good reason that I can't tell for personal reasons. Other than that my Hero has the amazing trait doing under pressure and prevent bad stuff from happening so he won't have alot of big life decisions.

My Dad had a disloyal friend in his life and his disloyal friend's decision destroyed their friendship and probably ruined chances of becoming friends again. This person was given money by my Hero and was fed during their time of need. Unfortunately they never returned the favor and in fact did something worse, but of course that is all my Hero will tell me.

Sadly my Hero is also vulnerable to his pride and can easily have alot of Hubris if he is given a chance. Luckily Dad has a son so he won't be able to risk anything or act big around anyone. One short story he had told me, that about his excessive pride went like this and I quote:

"Once I quit my job. I knew I needed the money to support my family yet pride
and rage consumed my vision. Later I needed help to pay my bills yet I was too
ashamed to ask for assistance. In turn I lost a lot. It could have been avoided
if I merely requested help and controlled my temper.” - Moses Small III

So unlike his old self, my hero is now stronger, smarter, and wiser then before.

My hero, Dad, Has quite alot of goals and Unfortunately i can't fit them all on one screen ,so I'm only listing a few for now. My Dad wants to help out as many people in his life to the best of his ability before dying, he also wants to hand me the keys to my first car and teach me how cook, box, and to be better than he was before. He is praying for these, if not all, to become accomplished, but he is also acting on these goals to become reality.

My, just like many other people gets distracted either over a certain thing: Having low money. When my Dad has a really low amount of money he will get distracted quite easily. Its as if he isn't paying attention to nothing else but the $$$ he has left, which he is. Fortunately he snaps out of it when his money stabilizes again.

My Hero, Dad, tends to get distracted easily if he is really bored. When this happens he reminds himself that if he gives up or fail a series of bad events will occur. From losing his job to losing his own respect, and at that point failing and while not trying wasn't an option. He will also be tempted but not so easily, he does have a weak spots, and he gets rid of them by praticing discipline. Since he was an ex-marine he is pretty much a brick wall ( with feelings ) and doesn't let anything get past him so easily.
