My Husband Revis as an Inspiration in my Life

"And will you succeed? Yes indeed, yes indeed! Ninety-eight and three-quarters percent guaranteed!" (Dr. Seuss) This quote accurately describes my husband because he never gives up no matter what. In life when people sometimes want to quit and give up, Revis always keeps going. Revis never complains about life and always see's the positive in every situation. Whenever he is around someone negative he removes himself from there presence. Whether making good grades or working hard Revis's main goal in life is being supportive to his family and friends. This is why my husband is an inspiration to me. Revis is inspirational to me because he is intelligent, hardworking, and supportive.

One of the things that inspires me about Revis is that he is intelligent. Revis has always tried his best in school. Whether in high school or college, Revis has always made A's and B's. He stayed on honor roll the entire time in grade school. Now that he's in college his grade point average hasn't changed much. He has a 3.82 grade point average and is a member of the Alpha Chi honor society. He is the only person I know who doesn't have to study. While others are studying and panicking about a test he plays video games. Revis took the PLT and the Praxis Exam and passed both without studying. He took his health content knowledge test and passed it too without studying. Revis started off making good grades and continues to do so throughout his schooling. He could not have made those good grades unless he worked hard in every aspect of his life. Revis has worked hard at everything he does, and it makes him want to continue to be a better person for himself and others.

In addition to being intelligent, Revis is also a hard working individual. He is always doing something. He can't be still. His view on not working makes me feel tired and lazy. It is not an option for him. He is doing student teaching at Ridgeland High school and working at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse. Revis just started doing student teaching in August of this year and he didn't know how he was going to do both. I still don't know how he does it because school is a full time job in itself. Revis manages to do both with a smile. He does student teaching from 8:00 a.m till 3:00 p.m and Ruth Chris Steakhouse from 5:00 p.m. till closing. On top of being in school and working my husband is also in the military. My husband did boot camp about three years ago in Georgia in the heat of the summer. Afterwards, he had to do extensive training in South Carolina for three more months. Revis was away for six whole months and never companied about being away that long. Revis works hard at everything he does and supports anyone who does the same.

Finally, the quality that inspires me the most about Revis is his supportiveness. He will support anyone who is trying to do something with his or her life. His friend Derrick needed advice on buying a car and called Revis to ask him for good advice. Revis gave Derrick great advice about the car. Today Derrick is driving a brand new car all because of asking a friend for advice. Revis does not just believe in helping friends with buying cars he also believes in helping his family. Revis's mom was going through a divorce and he moved her from where she was staying to a new place. He also gave her a car that was paid off so that she wouldn't have to struggle with a car note. Revis mom is doing well now because he looked beyond her faults and saw her needs. Along with helping his mom he also encouraged me to go back to school. I quit my full-time job at JC Penney and enrolled in school. I was a customer service assistant and I did not plan on making it a career but was scared to stop working because of the fear of not making my own money. I did not want to put a burden on my husband because I wanted to go to school so I stayed at a job I hated. Until one day we were talking and he said, “It's time for you to go back to school and I don't care if I have to work twelve jobs. You are going back to school this fall, of this year." I said, "Ok!" I am now a full-time student in college all because he cared enough to want to see me be successful as well. When I look at my husband and see all that he has done it inspires me to be a better person.

A husband like Revis seems very rare in today's society. Instead of being intelligent in today's society many people don't value education as much now. People have become accustomed to settling for less and barely getting by instead of going to school and working hard. He continues to work hard even when he doesn't want to. Revis believes the only way to get things in life is to work hard and do your best. He continues to remain supportive to his family and friends without even being asked to do so. I am blessed to have Revis as my husband because I know that through it all he is going to support me no matter what I decide to do in life. Every time I think about giving up on myself and school, I think about all he has sacrificed for us and it makes me want to do better every time.
