The Observer
My father’s tales of overcoming obstacles and defying societal norms have always inspired me. He, along with his friends, fought tirelessly to create opportunities and push society towards progress. And all his hard work paid off when he achieved a prestigious position that was respected by all, regardless of their education level.
As a child, I basked in the glory of his success, proudly showcasing his photos and boasting about his accomplishments to my friends. I was in awe of his bravery and determination to pave the way for freedom and set a high standard for us to follow.
Listening in on conversations, I discovered his deliberate efforts to leave a lasting legacy. He made sure his son, my father, received the best education and encouraged him to pursue subjects that were crucial for success. And true to his vision, my father excelled, becoming a respected student leader who demanded accountability and stood up for what was right.
He earned a reputation for his integrity, standing tall in both political and economic arenas, and fearlessly opposing unjust policies. His leadership extended to the streets, where he led protests against unfair taxes. Climbing the ranks, he eventually became the chairperson of his trade union—a beacon of hope and catalyst for change.
I am thrilled to follow in his footsteps and continue his legacy of fighting for justice and progress. My father’s story is not just one of personal triumph, but a testament to the power of determination and courage in the face of adversity.
