What's the most rewarding part about being a dad?

The most rewarding part about being a dad is spending time with my child seeing him . And one of the most rewarding parts is being able to watch them develop into the man that we hope you will be . I'm from Youngstown Ohio and travel to Michigan every Friday and Sunday to pick my son up and bring him home just to take him back on Sunday that's an 8 hour trip every Friday and Sunday and I'm a football coach so I'm just trying to be the best father and mentor that I can be

Why do you strive to be the best dad you can be?

Because growing up my dad didn't do anything that I was doing for my son and I've always told myself that I wanted to be a better version of a dad then my father was so I have that pound in my head and I'm trying I'm trying I'm trying . It's extremely hard when you try to work for yourself and make your own schedule when you have to go every week to go pick your kid up from another state which is hours away. Just want to give my son a opportunity and a life that I never had.

How would you use the $25,000?

The $25,000 will be used on my child and currently I do not own a home so that would definitely be a down payment on a home and get him his clothes and shoes and things that he needs. And then open up a trust fund and put some fun in there for him for the long-term run that way when college comes around I have money to pay for his things that he need . I probably spend almost 3 to $4,000 a year driving back and forth to Michigan so it would definitely help it will be a blessing.
