What is Super Dad?
Learn MoreWhat's the most rewarding part about being a dad?
Watching my kids grow up into their own individual person. Enjoying relaxing evenings at home and making meals together. When they randomly embrace me and say how much they really love me. Building great memories together making our own Lego creations or playing video games together. Knowing I've had a part in nurturing the person they're becoming and as they learn new things. When they have a tough day after school and being able to make their day better and let them enjoy being a kid.
Why do you strive to be the best dad you can be?
I want to set a good example for my kids to look up to and finding a future partner that respects and loves them like I do. They know they can count on me and they are safe with me. I strive to be the best so they have an example to follow as they grow and become not only a better version of myself but better by what they've learned from me. I want them to be able to look back and say my dad always did his best in good or bad times and we never doubted our love for him.
How would you use the $25,000?
great water park as well as different experiences the making memories with my kids making it meaningful and giving them a better future. As well as helping me through some financial struggles after my divorce and custody battle I've drained all my savings and owe a lot on credit cards. I'd also upgrade their bedrooms since both have used dressers and that's definitely seen better days. Then with whatever is left I'd use for an annual pass to the zoo or science museums.
