28A: Are you a disappointment to anyone, or is someone proud of you for your accomplishments?
I guess you could say I’m bit of both.
My dad always used to say I was a disappointment and that I wasn’t good enough to carry the name Scott, but Dan was an idiot, and I shouldn’t have listened to him the way that I did. Guess you could say I was desperately looking for something stupid like approval from the guy that was partly responsible for me being here on planet Earth.
But you know what my mom and Keith taught me?
Family isn’t what’s in your blood, it’s the people that care about you and are there for you, and so in retrospect I could say that the only father I ever truly knew was proud beyond words.
I mean granted I’ve had my moments where I’ve disappointed someone, but who hasn’t? Everybody makes mistakes, it’s part of being human and growing up. You wouldn’t know how to be an adult if you hadn’t made a couple errors in judgment when you were younger.
I’m lucky because I have my mom and Haley, and I know no matter how many times I might disappoint them they’ll always be proud of who I am and what I’ve managed to achieve.
