I respect my dad in many ways. I know that there are a lot of kids that say that they never want to be like their father, but I want to be like my father. My father was the coolest guy ever. He worked all of the time, and he provided for his family. Even though he worked a full-time job, he still spent time with his wife and kids, and he always made sure to take time to show us things. He also taught me things that I would need to know when I became an adult. One of the useful things that he taught me was how to fix an HVAC unit. My dad was not an HVAC technician, but that doesn’t mean that he didn’t know how to fix a furnace or an air conditioner. My grandfather was an HVAC technician, and my dad worked for him as a teenager and learned how to fix HVAC units. He told me that even though he could afford to hire an HVAC technician, he saves a lot of money by fixing his own HVAC units. He told me that he wouldn’t force me to learn how to fix my HVAC units, but he thought that it would be very useful. I decided to learn how to fix furnaces and air conditioners, and I am so glad that I did. When I was first starting out on my own, being able to save money by fixing my own HVAC units was easily one of the most money-savin things that I have ever done. Even now, I am the one that fixes my own HVAC units. When my kids grow up, I plan to teach them how to fix their HVAC units too.
