Inspiring Person

I'm going to tell you about the person that have inspired me the most. 
It's my father. Why? I'm going to tell you why.
So. now my father lives in Bandung. He's born in Pekanbaru. Years ago, the government system in Indonesia was still in chaos.Back then, the president of Indonesia was Soeharto. My father born in a mediocre family. So, when my father was still in Senior High School, he's called a warrior. Well, not really a warrior, but it's just he's really really strong back then, and a lot of people respect him. There's a time when my father told me that back then, there's some guy in his school that wanted to fight with him. But, my father knows that fighting will not make things better. So, he used his way of fighting. His way was, to give the guy a chance to punch my father at the stomach as hard as the guy can. So, the guy hit him, and nothing happened! My father didn't even flinched! This was really surprising, and scary of course. And then, the guy fear and respect him because my father can sustain the damage the guy give to his stomach.
And, after my father graduate from Senior High School, he went to Bandung to search for a good college, all by himself. That time, my father wanted to be a doctor. Well, in the end he became a priest. So, when my father have arrived in Bandung, he went to one of his family members, so he can stay in their house. And then, my father went to STTT college. I have forgotten about what kind of study that he chose. One thing that I know is that he failed his test, so he chose another study.
And then, he met my mother, at some kind of event. In that event, my father played guitar, and my mother played keyboard. And they have something in common, playing music. And how my father fell in love to my mother.
My father and my mother married in 1998, and then, I came in 1999.
In the past, they used to played together in some event, but now, my mother and my father is busy with their job.
Well, back to the past. Back then, my father worked in a tax company. And because his past at Senior High School, he could became really mean when he ask of tax. But then, he quit the tax company and he built his own company. It's an engineering company. It's because my mother's job is civil engineer. So that they could work together.
Then, on August 2007, I think, my father had an accident. It's really a bad accident, and it nearly brought my father closer to God. But, he survived. Only the bad thing was that his left leg would be crippled for a long time. Well, now his leg already been healed a little, although his left leg still can't walk normally for a long time, but at least I still have my father around, right?

Well, to answer the question above, why my father is the one that inspired me the most, it's because he's really wise. All his words and his advice really helped me living my daily life. You're a great father, dad.
