The Importance Of Relationship With My Father

Decent Essays
In the past years I 've had a difficult relationship with my father. In other words he had no trust in me trust. My father seemed as if he had no motive to trust me after some drama had occurred at school and within the family. The trust was lost once one of my own cousins began to start rumors about me; rumors on how I wanted to fight her, wanted to be her, calling her chicken legs which is so weird because where would i ever think of calling someone chicken legs. However, the main rumor that made my dad furious was the one where she decided to say I would let my boyfriend touch me in my private areas. Of course, my dad asked me at first of everything and I denied but somehow my cousin won the battle.
After the huge conflict, I was indeed

My father in fact opened his eyes and saw my cousins true colors which started to help me gain my father’s trust back. On account of everything that happened I learned on how to become a better person and to keep communication with my father because that’s a huge part of being able to maintain a strong trust with one another. I love my dad, he might be strict but I know it’s for my own good. I would never replace him for anybody else and I thank god everyday for letting me be his daughter.
Currently, my father is the one paying for college and adding on to that my insurance. However, I got into my first accident recently and now I 'm carless. A huge problem in my eyes because now I have no way to go visit my family that’s four hours away. Not only that but also on the time of the accident I was really disappointed in myself since I know my dad worked his butt off to save up for that truck and now the truck is a total lost if the insurance won 't cover

But now with all this happening, I know I have to fix it by getting a job in the Denton area to help my father with some parts of the payments. I’ve applied to some places and now all I can do is just wait and hope I get a call back. No matter is if it’s minimum wage, money is money.
A future problem I fear I might have is not getting into the nursing program here in Texas Women’s University. I know it’s very competitive so I will try my hardest to obtain a good score and make it through my four year plan. Also, if I were to make into the program I would have to choose of where I’d like to go to the Dallas campus or Houston. In which both are 4 hours away from my house. As a matter of fact I could apply to the Texas State nursing program and live at home. At the end of the day it will just be my choice of where I’d like to keep doing my

My parents became too overwhelming and would not leave me alone, I eventually just stop responding for a while or when I was…
