Big Dog in Training

Jack,

Growing up, teachers tend to ask their students who their idols are. Many kids respond by naming celebrities from a movie or a fictitious character in a novel they have recently read. However, there is a small percentage of kids who choose there parents, as well as provide a seemingly intelligent explanation for there choice. I was one of those kids, whenever someone would ask me who my idol was, I would respond by saying my step-father. The reason being, was because he filled the shoes my biological father never dared to fill. He cared for kids who had no relation to him and expressed zero gratitude for his actions. He payed for my cloths, my car, my food, my phone, my education, and to be completely honest every item I own. There are few people I can sincerely say I strive to be more like. Today a new individual has been added to that list. I met one of few men in this world who truly put others before themselves. Jack (aka BIG-D) gave me hope for those who suffer from homelessness. He works diligently and compassionately expressing his care for the community through his construction projects. Big Dog has made me understand that there is more to life then just worrying about your own needs, because there are people whose needs posses a much greater magnitude. Jack is a great guy who has morals I wish to mirror my own after.  

Sincerely,
