<p>Can anyone help me improve this prompt for UCF? suggestions?</p>
<p>If there has been some obstacle or "bump in the road," in your academic or personal life, please explain the circumstances</p>
<pre><code>An obstacle that I’ve faced in my personal life is my parents divorce, and my father. After my parents divorce, my dad moved back to where he grew up, three hours away, where I now visit bi-weekly. Not only have these three hour weekend trips interfered with my social and academic life, but my father has hindered me from many other things, because of his alcoholism. Some examples may be his stubbornness and failure to pay child support. Until I was exposed to what a normal family life should be, my fathers regular use of drugs and alcohol seemed normal. I’ve been able to avoid making the same poor decisions my father has made by keeping myself busy with work and school, and using his life as an example of what I do not want. My fathers alcoholism has taught me a valuable lesson about morals and family values, which I’ve learned from his mistakes. Although my dad has allowed my oldest brother to follow in his footsteps, I like to consider my situation a strength that I have, for not taking the same path.
