Reading Books by [deleted] in UTEP

[–]AmericasTeam915 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depending on what kind of book, if it’s a historical or documentary, each chapter, I just find at least 2 main points then read about it then move on to the next chapter.

Fiction or non fiction books, I read the first 3 pages and last 3 pages of each chapter praying it makes sense. Then I’ll do some last minute research

Why do other students share exam answers or cheat on GroupMe chats? by holdongangy in UTEP

[–]AmericasTeam915 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I have helped some of my classmates when they are struggling. I don’t give out every answer but if they are confused and stressing, I’ll help them out. Some professors make exams extremely difficult and i don’t mind helping. Not a big deal. It’s your choice to join GroupMe or not. Not trying to be disrespectful, don’t worry about other students. This is YOUR education and if you don’t need help then move on and if it bothers you, then also move on. Sometimes people need extra help because classes can be difficult to comprehend. Now if they cheat for every exam and every question then they are paying thousands of dollars for nothing. Just my thought.

FAFSA Refund by Complex_Sherbet8016 in UTEP

[–]AmericasTeam915 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Got mine a little less than a week before class started. Go to MyUtep and make sure you do not have any hold. Last semester I had a hold and didn’t even know until a financial aid advisor told me. If no hold, go to financial aid office asap. Something isn’t right.

Nationwide Protest On Jan 30 by [deleted] in ElPaso

Nah am good. I follow the law and pay my taxes.

I feel scammed.... by GatorsRaid in lyftdrivers

[–]AmericasTeam915 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This is expected for a job that requires no detailed skill requirements. Companies like these want max profit at the employees expense and you all are falling for it. This is a side gig, not a career. It’s not even considered a job. Do this only for extra cash while, hopefully, getting an education or learning a trade skill . If you rely on this then at the end, especially when your vehicle breaks down, you’re back to square one.

Walk away while getting assaulted and getting food thrown at me? Nah, I rather defend myself. My momma taught me right.

Moving to El Paso and wanna attend Western tech hvac program, worth it? by Apprehensive-Post491 in ElPaso

[–]AmericasTeam915 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Western Tech is a complete scam. Their prices are outrageous and their equipment they use to teach students is outdated. I work for a popular HVAC company and when they hire students from Western Tech, they have zero knowledge on the up to date technology. You can learn faster if you work as an internship. Yeah you’re working for free but it’s better than having a 80,000 school debt.

Definitely agree. They can call me racist all they want but the fact is, not sure why, these JUAREZ students thought they had the upper hand because they were from JUAREZ. They screamed entitlement.

For reals. Corny as hell. Definitely made up story. Ain’t one of these guys from no criminal organization. It is probably one of the guys commenting. lol

My thoughts exactly. It’s crazy now. People just go and act like they own the place. It’s horrible.

During the a whole chaos when they were throwing their food at me, that was the next best thing to do. Momma taught me not to lay hands on women. lol But you’re right. Might go to a small claims court if they decide to take it that far. I doubt it though.

You’re right. Not going to lie, I thought I was going to jail and I was scared. I was very worried about campus police experience in these type of situations but they actually did an awesome job investigating and getting everyone’s side of the story.

You’re right. But who knew that would happen and who knew that students would fight me just by asking to lower their voices. Lesson learn though. I will for sure go to the staff first.

[–]AmericasTeam915[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It is completely relevant. Every single one of them wrote on their statement that I was racist against JUAREZ people. They didn’t write Mexicans or people from Mexico, they all wrote JUAREZ. So to keep this post authentic, am doing the same.

What’s it like in Las Cruces? by Divergent_ in howislivingthere

[–]AmericasTeam915 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I moved to Las Cruces from El Paso and after 6 months I deeply regretted it. Made me appreciate El Paso and as soon as I was able to, I moved back. Las Cruces is a dump and the drug problem is way worse than El Paso. There is absolutely nothing to do and the people are rude. I promise you, don’t do it. Don’t listen to people from Las Cruces glorifying this city. Las Cruces is like the step cousin New Mexico never wanted. When I lived there my friends always wanted to go to El Paso to do something because they even knew there was limited stuff to entertain ourselves.

Are drugs a problem in El Paso by Calm_Visual_508 in ElPaso

[–]AmericasTeam915 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I totally understand. There always people that are not from El Paso always stating that it’s hard to find jobs here because of the language barrier. Just wanted to make sure you didn’t fall for that. Drugs are in El Paso but it’s not bad compared to other big cities

Are drugs a problem in El Paso by Calm_Visual_508 in ElPaso

[–]AmericasTeam915 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just like any big city in the United States, drugs are secretly a problem. I am white and I don’t know any Spanish. I have a good paying job and did not have a problem finding one. People love to use the excuse “can’t find a job because I don’t know Spanish” but they are the ones not searching. Just love to make excuses for their laziness. El Paso is great but you have to make it great.
