"My Promo-Mentors Writing Challenge" / My Father, my great inspiration

Hello, a very cordial greeting to the entire steemit community, very special to my dear friends of Promo-mentors.

I appreciate the opportunity to participate in this challenge to @Evecab and @Futurethinker and their team.

I can remember since I was little, my father said that he wanted to see his children become professionals in the future; that's what all parents want for their children, well that's what I believe.

Nelson Rodríguez, my father; a hardworking man determined to give his best for his family. Everything that came to her hand to be done to give the best to their children did.

He didn’t make a professional career, he started as a teacher, working as a missionary in the Gran Sabana, being very young. When he returned from his missionary work he wanted to continue in the teaching area, so he did a physical education course and for many years he worked as a physical education teacher in a school.

He always told us about his experiences and motivated us to want something better than what he had already given us. He did his best effort giving us the best education; For my part, he made me study in a technical school, procuring a professional career after leaving the high school. I did not want to be an electrical engineer or anything like that.

When I left high school I had not yet defined what I wanted to study, but as a determined man, he continued guiding me and helping me to get my way. On that journey, I got married without defining my professional future, which he was very worried about. While I started studying music at the Aragua State Conservatory of Music; It occurred to him that he could combine my music with education, so, one day I came up with the proposal to make my entrance to the Pedagogical University, which seemed crazy to me; Even so, I did it, I stayed at the university and managed to get my undergraduate degree in Music Education Specialist.

Not satisfied with that, he insisted that I should continue studying, my father very determined that I should be a successful professional; He urged me to continue with a master's degree, I, very obedient I did, also take a master's degree in Higher Education. Only one year after having completed my master's degree and my father saw me graduate, he died of a painful illness.

Today I feel deeply grateful to God for the father who gave me, never gave up before the need he felt to see his children become professionals, I hope I have filled it with satisfaction.

My Father was, has been, and will always be the center of my inspiration.
