<p>Can I write about my dad's casino addiction for failure essay?
My mom almost got heart attack because of my dad and he spent her savings on casino in a day. I barely saw him at home.. I kinda understand him because he was too stressful from his work and I actually saw him crying. </p>
<p>What do these topics reveal about <em>you</em>? It’s not about your dad’s failure, it’s about a time when <em>you</em> experienced failure and (more importantly) what you learned from the experience. Think about broader definitions of failure - not keeping a promise, betraying a friend, etc.</p>
