The amazing thing about our dads step-dads, grandads, older brothers, uncles etc, is that we could finish the statement, ‘my dad is….’ in a variety of ways. So we asked the children of St Michael’s about their male role models. This is what they said.
…special to me because he looks after me and takes care of me when I am down.
…the best because he is always looking out for me, even if it seems like he isn’t.
…amazing because he looks after me and is kind to me. He cares for me when I am sick and helps me to learn.
…a provider. He provides me with love and care as well as teaching me how to be a good person.
…so special because he provides, guides and cares for me. He teaches me good values and how to be a good person….serious about education!
…an encourager. He always pushes me to do things and helps me even if he is busy.
…the kindest, most thoughtful person I’ve met. He helps me with things that are hard and makes me feel like the happiest girl in the world.
…a chef at a restaurant and the best football trainer.
…always puts himself after other people.
