Joshua Lin My father

Age 12

9-12 year olds

My father is a hardworking man, going through many hardships to support me and my family. He still manages to crack some good jokes and have some fun, even in the worst times. At times he is very serious and cross but he’s just doing his job. My dad is a music lover, enjoying the songs of Plácido Domingo and Chinese folk music. He is glad to give up his time to help me to do anything I want him to. I love him to the end and I look up to him. Best dad ever!
