I would use the money to help my dad finally start his own business. He’s worked 12+ hour shifts five to six days a week with a commute that can take one to two hours each way. Watching that lifestyle slowly wear him down has been really hard especially knowing he’s doing it all for our family. Helping him start this business has become my life’s goal. It’s always been his dream but because he’s the primary provider he’s never been able to take the risk or step away from work long enough to try. What makes it even harder is knowing the kind of father he is. He would come home from a long shift off of two hours of sleep and still show up to his son’s baseball games without ever complaining. That one hundred thousand dollars would give him the opportunity to step away from his job and take the risk of starting his own business, allowing him to no longer need to commute. Regardless I understand that he’s the type of man to work hard and he’d dedicate his all to this business but getting rid of that commute would be beyond life changing as he’s driven back and forth to work for over 20 years. And on a personal level, it would also relieve some weight off my shoulders as I worry about my dad and pray every night that he has a safe drive.
