College Admissions Essay: Who Is My Dad?

Improved Essays
Who is my dad? My dad is a former factory worker and fast food restaurant worker. He is the father of four kids and he was married once. My dad has a lot of traits that I don't admire and he doesn’t really have any that I can admire but I still decided I could get the best paragraphs from writing about my dad. The traits that I wrote about are unintelligent, funny, and lazy. Those traits are not good yet for some reason I still can admire my dad.

One thing about my dad is that he is unintelligent. My dad dropped out of school in his fourth year of 8th grade. He never even went to high school and he didn't go to college either.

A few years ago when I lived with my dad, he never got out of bed. My little sister who was 5 at the time said when me and my other sister were at school she had to make food for herself and our 5 month old little brother because our dad wouldn't get out of bed to do it. I don't know if I believe her or not but that's what she always has told me. The house was also always a mess especially my parents room. Also the dishes ever were done which made my mod really mad because she was always at work and never had time to do it. That why I think my dad is
