| | Greeting Xanga readers!
What's new with me? My life has turn into positive, but no negative. That's good!. I can't deal with this depression that i used to had and suffer to work hard to get what i want. The reason why my previous life was so depression. I will tell you why. VCC (Valencia Community College) on Osceola Campus is awful. I took CPT. It's a placement test. I took it and they put me in lower level for uncredit class level. I remember myself going first day of school. I went to first day of class, and i sit down. Teacher was teaching. I was like... I thought it to myself. Am i in wrong class? Teacher taught basic English and try to teach them how to write basic English and teach them how to speak English.
I found out that CPT was a test but they ask me few question. One question ask me is English my primary language.? I answered no because American sign language is my primary language. Another question ask me what ethic i am. I answer that I'm Hispanic. It so stupid how can VCC- Osceola put me in lower level just because American Sign Language is my primary language and Hispanic which they assume i come from another question. They are right that i do come from another country but i came to America when i was 2 years old. I also go to school from K-12. I do know how to write English but it so sad that they are so stupid to place me in wrong level of class. I fight for it. They realized they made a mistake and i prove them wrong by show them my ACT score, my gpa and my high school diploma. I already show them everything but sadly they don't do anything wrong. It is wrong of them because supposed if you are so smart and they place you in wrong class. You were so passive and take the class but you knew the foundation already. Is it worth to waste your money? *scoff*, I wouldn't let them.
One of my experince is when i took English class. One of my teacher didn't meet my acccodmation. Accodmation is reminds teacher to meet my hearing disabled needs. Guesss what, she didn't. She always try to give me hard time. I always show up to tutoring. Sometimes, tutoring notice my English structure is so good but just some of them need some works on it. My English teacher didn't do anything. Before and after class, i always ask teacher if she can work on one- on one. I was only being a brown nose to her just because i want to get a good grade. Believe me, that teacher is so friggin stupid. It's like she come from another planet. I knew a staff work from another campus but still working under VCC. Her name is Julie. I am so glad i met her and already knew her. She know how deaf's world is like but she once told me that she never met a deaf student who happen to be so intelligent and never give up on education. I complained to her for several of things. She got annoy by my complainant but she came to see it for herself. She realized she didn't meet any of my accommodation, and she also knew something funny is going on. For example, i was supposed to take 3 state test. I went to testing center becaues it was more quiet, and easy to focus on test. Of course teacher wasn't there but there are some people who in charge of holding test and give them out. Of course they do have stricts rules about the test. I always follow it. On that day, i only take 2 test but i ask that person who work in testing center. I asked her aren't there more test? She only gave me 2 test. After that, i got an email from her and she kind of threaten me that she going to fail me. I was like whoa. I just knew it that i have to forward my email to my sign language coordinator. She helped me out and i have to call in work to take the test on Monday. I was so upset but teacher dare to waste my time. Anyway, i took the test. I came to testing center and ask two staff who work in testing center. They told me the honest answer. The teacher never gave them 3 tests. She only gave 2 tests.
I was so pissed. Of course i am! I always have complain to my advisor. She always give me advices and decided not to do anything about it. I try to work my way work with teacher but it didn't work. I decided to explain my situation to Julie. She gives me a lot of advices. I did whole of her advices and now she open her eyes. It wasn't just me that i'm failing english class. I spoke with Dean (same concept meaning as principal ). I explain my situation. Now he's aware of my situation but gave me 2 choices. One is to write and set up a meeting and another one is something but i forgot. I was done discussing with him.I was like fuck it. What is dean going to do? Of course he's going to do nothing. My teacher's going to retired anyway. I was out of the office. I saw my teacher and she knew what i was up to. She was trying to defend herself Geez, she's so cleaver. She's one evil bitch that trying to give me hard time through out spring and summer semester.
Although, Julie told me to go to VCC- east campus which is more better. She never visit VCC- Osceola and she noticed it has really stink services. i decided to trust on her on this one which i decided to go to east campus. On my first day of VCC- east campus, I was awe with many students and it was full of spirit. I also enjoy most of my class but i have to take only one class that i failed. That's why, my life turning into positive because all teacher treats me respect and i gave them respect. My life at VCC-east campus is only just a beginning. Although, i am working less because i want to focus more on school.I can get my A.S. in graphic design so soon. Luckily i finally got SSI right on time. I dont have to worry about money issue.
This is why my life has turn into a positive way. Oh yeah, even more postive, i can't wait for president Bush to finish his term. I heard Hilary clintion is going to be candidate for president on 2008. Geez, i can't stand president bush because tax is increasing and everything seems to be increase. Sad news, i heard there is money issue for tax & medicare. Many older people are so furious! President bush mess up everything but i miss president Bill Clinton. He kept economy's up slowly and focus on people need. Bush only focus on business and spend money on stupid wars. Sheesh, that's dirty politic.
