First, my father have always said to me, "Do anything you want to do." Due to my father's words, I could take part in inter-junior-high school ski festival. I could go to the most famous high school in Yamagata prefecture, and now, I am a Keio university student.
Second, he gave me much financail aid. My parent's house is not so rich, occupation is farmer. But he paid my tuition and the cost of living. How happy am I in spite if I was born in farmer's home.
Thirs, he scolded me to make me excellent. I didn't know the meaning of the words, "I scolded you not because I hate you." But now, I know the words. My father is faultless father.
Thank you for bringing up me.

My favorite relative is uncle John. He's always been kind and generous to me, and I can talk to him easily because he is a lot younger than my parents. When I was little, he used to take me to tha park to play catch on Sundays. We often went camping in the summer and skiing in the winter. Recently, when I was unable to make a decision about my future path, it was Uncle John who encouraged me to go to college. He was also generous enough to give me $1,000 to pay for part of my tuition. I am really lucky to have such a nice uncle.

I'd have to say that my sister Kathy is my favorite relative. She is ten years older than me, and ever since I was little, she's always taken me on special little trips- to the zoo, an amusement park, shopping, and of course, she always treats me. But seriously, I usually ask for her advice when I have a problems. She works as a merketing manager of prestigous corporation, and I hear she has had a good reputation from her subordinates. I see her as a role model. she is not only successful, but she is also kind.
