I applied for a peer writing tutor position at my university and got a strong recommendation from my former writing teacher who has been nothing but encouraging. He is like the dad I never got to have, and I'm extremely lucky to have got to known him. 

My real father, on the other hand, HATES writing and teachers. He has always been pushing me to math and science - both are subjects I enjoy, but not to the extent that he does. 

To his dismay, writing is something that I am truly passionate about. Even as I pursue a degree in Environmental Science, I still want to hone my writing skills and become a more well rounded person overall. I still love English, and maybe it will always be a part of me that he'll never accept because of his past experiences. I've come to accept that we are simply different people, and just because I am his kid does not mean I have to be a mini-version of him.

My Dad loves writing and doesn't want me to give it a fair shake on an interview. I'm so sorry for the wall of text. I'm not sure it even counts as
