I want to transcend my dad, but due to my inability to stay focus in school I can't.

Did I use the word transcend properly?

No, you did not use the word "transcend" correctly in your sentence. "Transcend" means to go beyond the usual limits or surpass something, usually in a spiritual or abstract manner. It does not apply to wanting to surpass or excel someone, such as your dad.

You might consider using a different word or phrase to convey your desire to outperform or exceed your dad in a certain area, such as "outshine," "outperform," or "excel."

yes i'm trying to surrpass my dad in something, so i'm properly using it correctly! I just didn't state what i'm trying to surpass him in

I apologize for the confusion. If your intention was to convey that you want to surpass or outperform your dad in a particular area, then yes, you used the word "transcend" correctly. However, as you mentioned, you didn't specify what area you want to surpass him in.

Did I properly specify what I want, or you aren't caple of picking up clues?

I apologize if I misunderstood your intention. Based on your original statement, you mentioned your inability to stay focused in school and your desire to surpass your dad. Without further context or clarification, I cannot pick up on specific clues regarding what you want to surpass him in. If you provide more information or specify the area you wish to excel in, I'll be able to assist you more effectively.

It's obvious, i'm trying to surpass in school
