Who is a father figure?

Father's Day is not only about biological fathers but also about celebrating all father figures in our lives. It includes stepfathers, grandfathers, uncles, mentors, and any person who has played a paternal role. It's an opportunity to show gratitude to those who have made a positive impact, regardless of the biological relationship.

 

It is a special occasion celebrated worldwide to honour and appreciate fathers and father figures. It is a day dedicated to recognizing their love, guidance, and the impact they have on their children's lives. This annual celebration allows us to express gratitude for the significant role fathers play in nurturing and shaping their families.

 

Fatherhood is a responsibility that extends far beyond biological ties. It encompasses the provision of emotional support, guidance, and protection. Fathers are often seen as the pillars of strength, offering guidance and wisdom through life's challenges. They instil values, teach life skills, and serve as role models for their children.

 

Father's Day serves as an opportunity to reflect on the countless sacrifices fathers make. From working long hours to provide for their families to being present for important milestones, fathers invest their time, energy, and love unconditionally.

 

Beyond their immediate families, fathers contribute to the community by imbibing positive values and teachings in the next generation. Their dedication and commitment help shape a better society.

My youngest uncle is a father figure to me who I look up to. He inspires me to be a good servant of God and is always kind to everyone. He is also hardworking and determined, hence why his spirit of learning has always been a trait I adore. He is a seeker. He loves to explore new things in life. Besides, I am truly inspired to be someone like him, as he is a holistic person. Not only is he smart, but he also has tremendous soft skills, an incredible personality, numerous talents, and is amazing as a whole.

My father figure is David Beckham. He is a renowned figure who has not only made a significant impact in the world of football but has also served as a father figure to many individuals, inspiring them in various ways. As a global icon, he has captured the admiration and respect of millions around the world, including myself. David Beckham's influence extends far beyond his skills on the football field. His dedication, hard work, and commitment to his craft have been instrumental in shaping his success. Beckham's relentless pursuit of excellence and his unwavering determination to constantly improve are qualities that inspire me greatly. He has demonstrated that success does not come easily and that consistent effort and resilience are key to achieving one's goals.

 

What sets David Beckham apart as a father figure is not just his accomplishments in football but also his role as a loving and devoted family man. He has displayed strong family values and has been a supportive and caring husband to his wife and a nurturing father to his children. Beckham's ability to balance his professional career with his family responsibilities is truly admirable. Furthermore, Beckham's philanthropic endeavours have had a profound impact on me. He has used his fame and resources to make a positive difference in the lives of others. Through various charitable initiatives, such as his involvement with UNICEF and his own foundation, he has shown a genuine desire to give back to society and help those in need. This selflessness and commitment to making the world a better place are qualities that I find truly inspiring. He serves as a reminder that with hard work, dedication, and a compassionate heart, one can achieve great things and positively impact the lives of others.

I would say another father figure in my life who inspired me a lot, apart from my biological father, would be Sir Azmeer Sophian bin Azizul Zaman from the New Student Engagement Unit at Student Career Development (SCD). He’s a person who always prioritises family but never forgets his responsibilities at MSU and as a facilitator. He always gives me motivation whenever I am starting to burn out. He handles a situation so calmly yet firmly, a personality I adore greatly.

My father figure is Encik Muhammad Firdaus Sulaiman from the Student Career and Development department at MSU, who is currently the advisor for the Performing Arts and Cultural Club (PACC). I’ve known him for three years now. He is an inspiration, especially in handling critical or traumatic incidents, because he believes in hope, kindness, and patience. I thrive on taking after him in my professional and personal lives. In addition, he told me that aside from daily challenges, obstacles, and pressure, hope plays a major role in carrying ourselves with a bright smile and new strength. As the words of Brad Henry go, "A good teacher can inspire hope, ignite the imagination, and instill a love of learning," Sir Firdaus inspires me to take up the challenge to be a holistic person as a whole.

Bella's father was given the name Mahyuddin, almost the same name as our past interim Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin. Not as a leader to the country but as a leader to our small, lovely family. The other person that I admire the most is my mother, Sanawiah Lausa. She is the prettiest woman and continues to treat me like a princess. She adores me with beautiful clothes and fills my belly with yummy food. She's the one who taught me how to accommodate people. She is my first love. She has her own ways of expressing her love for me.
