My Dad- Zack Schultz

“My whole life, I’ve always been a hard worker.”- My dad

            For my hero interview project, I chose to interview my dad. Ever since he was born, he has overcome many struggles. He has worked ever since he was 13. His mom worked at Kmart trying to support four children. My dad was the only one who took the initiative to start working. He worked at the baseball diamonds in Centerville, making $20 a week.  He was the third youngest in his family. Yet later in life, he became the first of his siblings to graduate high school. In my interview, he told me that one of his biggest role models was his first boss.

            He now works at Lakeview hospital in the supply chain. He brings supplies all over the hospital. If you need something for an operation, he’s the one who makes sure the doctor has it. Before this job, he worked at a glass plant. He made glass for many companies. But sadly, that job contributed to him getting Rheumatoid Arthritis. There were mornings that he could barely crawl out of bed. He has been lucky enough to find a great doctor, and he is now in much less pain.

            My hero fits most of the categories. He is an example to me and my brother, and he sacrifices so much to make sure his family has what they need to survive. He helps contribute to the society by making sure every doctor has what they need to operate on people. So people don’t know it, but he helps people he doesn’t know. One thing I can take from my interview, and take into consideration for my life, is never give up. No  matter how people around you are, you can still succeed, and be yourself.
