My Dad: part 1

Every man has his own role model. Some see them in athletes, Hollywood actors, famous businessmen, and so on. However, for me, it has always been my dad. He was born in a small town in the western part of Russia and grew up in a modest family. His favorite hobbies were reading and playing football, and he has kept up the former to this day, resulting in broad erudition and excellent Russian language skills.
Regarding his upbringing, after finishing school, he initially struggled to get into university to study law. After his first attempt failed, he took a year off to prepare, working at a factory to support himself. His determination and courage to pursue his aspirations shaped who he is today. He eventually succeeded in his second attempt to enter university. He had to travel northeast to Sverdlovsk (now known as Yekaterinburg), but that part of the story will be continued later...

My Dad: pPart 1

Regarding his upbringing, after finishing school, he initially struggled to get into university to study law.

This is grammatically correct but sounds overly formal.
I might just remove the "Regarding his upbringing" altogether. It's clear from context.

I don't have much to correct, just minor notes. Your dad sounds like a wonderful human being. You are lucky.

Good job! There are no grammatical errors. I only corrected for the flow of sentences.

Oh, I messed up a little. Sorry.

The sentence, "His determination and courage to pursue his aspirations him into shaped who he is today,"

should be "His determination and courage to pursue his aspirations shaped him into who he is today."

"Shaped him into who he is today" is a common English saying.
