Short conversational transcript from a YouTube video by Connor Beaton (uploaded Feb 27, 2024) discussing how children idolize their fathers and later in life come to appreciate the lessons and sacrifices fathers made. Speakers reflect on admiration, perceived lack of recognition/reward, and personal identification of a father as a hero.
I think every kid thinks like that about his dad. His dad is like, your dad's your protector. Your dad is like the coolest guy in the world. That's what you like? Yeah. Everybody wants to be like their dad.
When you're a kid, you don't necessarily understand or even appreciate what your dad is trying to do for you. But it's only when you get older, you step back, you move out the house, maybe even start a family on your own, you start to really realize, man what that man meant to me. My dad. What he tried to teach me all the lessons.
Sorry. What's the sadness for you to be the number one and you don't see nothing don't say to receive rewards.
To see what I eat he never saw how great you became.
Who's my hero? That's a great question.
Well, I think my dad is my hero because he's someone that I look up to every day and.
My dad.
