My Realm is Evolving..
Ok so I told y'all the good news but I guess I was premature because my college the disorganized mess they are has no record of me ever sending them graduation apps even though I sat in my advisers office filling them out with her watching me.
I'm not too pleased at the moment and If I have to go all the way to the top to get what I deserve I will do whatever it takes because we've got the documentation.
So put down your beer steins and mugs. I'm sorry if I got all hyped up but the fact is my college instead of calling me when I left in 2008 decided to let it go to shit.
Lower back pain or not I'm going to fight to get these which I'll be lucky to walk away with. Public education for an ADD/ Dyslexic person like me is like grinding your teeth on a grate watching the enamel come off in bits.
They are a mess and instead of caring about their student they throw us to the curb:
Here is the original e-mail to the person who does graduation app stuff:
Keep in mind I've changed my name to my furry id for obvious reasons.
Hello Cleme,
I have a student by the name of SwiftWindSpirit that completed two certificates, one in 2007 and spring of 2008. I remember this student submitting paperwork for his certificates however he states that he never received them. I have printed off a copy of the student’s eval and it shows that he did complete a C1.MMK1 and a C1.MIBI. I am including Swift in on this e-mail so that you have a way to contact him as well. Swift can also be reached by phone. Once you have researched this could you please let Andrew know what he needs to do.
Thanks so very much! This student worked very hard to receive these certifications and if you can help him resolve this matter it would be much appreciated!

And here is the person who does the graduation apps response:
Vicky,
I have no record of having received grad applications for a C1.MMK1 and a C1.MIB1 certificates for this student. I only show a grade change and two student data change forms. Please have him fill out a graduation application for each certificate for 11/SP.
Thanks,
Cleme Houston

I put my furry name only for here, not there, god no.
If there is a real problem, go to you student advisor, you advocate and lastly to the dean speaking with them and presenting the evidence of your compliance should get you your certs man
What sucks is this is Saturday night and I didn't read the e-mail until this evening so my hands are tied until Monday when I can do something about it.
What really riles me up is the fact this is your tax payer government dollars funding moronics like this. I do have a copy of the proof I got the certifications.
THe more I think about it the more I get riled up and the more my lower back bugs me This is why I took a two year hiatus in the first place. I mean this is not the first time my college has screwed up.
Anyway I have to relax, its that simple because my hands are tied until Monday.
I should of known the college hadn't changed. You think you have peace until something like this comes up where you knew what you did but the person in charge was too naive to do it right.
This is government entity at its best and to make matters that much more fun my adviser is a disability councilor who should of followed up the first time I did those.
Luckily I've got an ADD Wellness Group adviser I'm going to on Tuesday and once I get to know him I'll run this stuff by him to see what we can do.
I'm going to win dammit and this college is not going to keep what I deserve from me. I'm going to get some people in my corner who care about me as a person, not what I am so we can go get what it is I deserve. This time the college is going to regret they were idiots with my certificates and my time I spent earning them.
My adviser at the college was not ready and more concerned about getting to her son's birthday party instead of helping me get this right. I watched her for ten minutes talk to somebody of the college instead of going and getting my records ready for us to see.
I mean she knew i was coming and then I hear about them wasting money on new facilities instead of using it for another special need education building. I mean they always do this shit to us as adults with learning differences.
They don't care about anything but their money they get in millions from our government who piss feeding them this crap like candy.
I wish my tax payer dollars would go somewhere else because it is a huge waste if nothing has improved and the same old song is abound.
Colleges on the public level are full of dimwits who do it not to help but as something to do in their otherwise boring lives.
Anyway I'm sorry if I'm venting but I feel like these people need to go back to grade school and restart again. One way or another I'm getting those certifications and this time it won't be me versus the shit hole system anymore.
And BTW, you missed one example of your name in that e-mail you posted...
I can't believe how incredibly incompetent some people are to something as important as this. I had to dig the e-mail out of my spam to even look at it and it wasn't sent until 4pm friday long after my adviser had left.
I wonder how many heads I'm going to have to slice off to get what I deserve. Just when I think peace is finally hit me another tempest of a bad storm strikes.
I'm supposed to be focusing on getting a job that fits my personality, not this.
At this point the more I think about it the more agitated I get the less I think about it the more of a headache I get. They didn't do their jobs once again and this is only the junior level.
My mom doesn't want to do this either but we've had to work so hard to get what little help I did get it's like banging your skull against a brick wall.
I took two years off because of things like this Nie. I had to drop several classes because professors were jerks about my special needs or didn't bother to help me or give me the alloted time I needed to succeed on tests.
I'm displeased at the college, period the end because now instead of focusing on jobs I have to now focus on this.
Whoever hired these people and whoever let this happen needs to be let go of their duties. They waste our money on new facilities not for people like me who really could use them.
Anyway Nie this doesn't help at all and makes me furious because I did the walk with the talk so shouldn't I deserve a reward?
*Hugs*
I'm actually going to focus on my job personality thing because this really is the last thing I need to deal with. I'll let my parent bite their heads off while I go get the job I deserve.
I just cannot catch a break for some odd reason.
Anyway thanks for your caring support Nie. I'm going to come out a winner, that I can promise you.
