I think that's the point I pretty much gave up trying to impress him or do well for myself.

I'm so sorry dumburn. I know how hurtful that can be because my folks said the same thing to my older brother when he was that age. You are not a dumbass. You can do anything you set your mind on. Don't listen to what your father said because he was likely projecting his own failures onto you.
