ESSAY ON MY FATHER MY HERO 4 (500 WORDS)
Introduction
We all love our parents but I am lucky that I also draw inspiration from them. I look up to 
my father as a source of motivation and inspiration. He is my hero in the true sense. I admire 
his love towards his family, dedication towards work and concern for the environment and 
people around.
Dedication towards Improving the Environment
My father is a true nature lover. He loves plants and this is the reason why we have turned 
our terrace into a garden. Earlier, we only had some pots kept at some distance from each 
other on the terrace but now we have plants all over the place. However, his love for nature 
is not just limited to gardening at home he is also involved in improving the environment by 
planting more and more trees and plants in the surrounding areas. He has joined a non-profit 
organization that works for making the environment clean and green. He helps the 
organization to further their mission by joining them every weekend. He and his team choose 
an area every week and do their best to clear the dried leaves and other waste products from 
there. They hire a sweeper to help them and do whatever they can on their own. After the 
cleaning drive, they plant trees and plants at suitable places in that area. Many a times he 
takes us along for help.
He was also invited to my school to sensitize the students to make the environment clean and 
green. He gave lecture on the subject to help the students understand the importance of this 
issue. It was a proud moment for me.
My father believes in working as a team. He does not expect my mother to do all the 
household tasks and handle the kids all on her own. He helps and supports her at every step. 
They both work as a team to make our house a better place to live. My father also works with 
us whenever we require working on some assignment we are not much familiar with. Rather 
than just giving us instructions and judging our skills from a distance he gets involved in the 
same to help us learn and understand the task better. Many of my friends share that their 
parents give them instructions to do certain tasks and expect them to complete them 
appropriately. They do not help in the process and even scold them if the task is not done 
properly. They also have set definition of the tasks that need to be done only by the females 
in the house and those that the male members should take responsibility for. I am lucky my 
father does not possess such a mindset. We have learned the art of working as a team from 
him and this has helped us at various stages in life.
Conclusion
My father’s dedication towards making earth a better place by contributing his bit towards 
improving the environment as well as his concept of working as a team are certainly two of 
his best qualities. I have learned a lot from these.
