My loving father

-

MY father, Manimuttu, is from Penang. After he married my mother, he settled down in Kuala Lumpur.

There are many things I would like to share about my father.

My Ammachi (grandmothe­r) and aunties describe him as a very kind and accommodat­ing person. Dad is supportive and we can count on him for anything.

My relatives often say: “Tanusya, you are so lucky to have a father who cares for you every moment of your life.”

The best thing about my father is he is very protective of his family, especially me.

I have always been his top priority in life. He is a dedicated and helpful person. He supports me in all my activities, projects, exam preparatio­ns and other activities.

The most recent thing I learnt from my father was how to solve fraction problems, the easy way. Thanks to Dad’s teaching, I could understand the whole chapter in 15 minutes. My beloved father is a Maths and Science tutor too.

He is also an environmen­tal friendly person. He encourages me to use lots of recycled items.

Recently, he taught me how to make LED lights with recycled cable and a tube light. I have learnt how to make wooden toy cars using recycled wooden pallets.

Spending time with my father enables me to develop my learning skills.

I’m so blessed to have a great father like him. – By Tanusya Manimuttu, 10.
