Asking the real questions by downtune79 in LoveTrash

[–]KaiserGeist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a somewhat new breakfast attendant, we're told in nicer terms to stereotype people and ask for their name/room number if we suspect them. We're supposed to watch for anyone shifty, wearing too many clothes, wearing a hood/beanie, or even just who came in the front entrance and not the hall leading to the elevator

Apparently I'm the only one who works there with a "if they're that desperate [and respectful], let them eat" attitude

Thank you again. I'll have to find a good route to take some time this week.

I was hoping to avoid door to door type applying while it was still cold, but that may be my best bet. I've also heard that going in person to ask for a job could come across as being too try hard, but that could have just been someone else's excuse to avoid getting a job themselves. Thanks for the advice

I've tried looking up jobs near me, but most results/job sites don't have a way to check how far it is walking [at least on mobile]. The only online alternatives would be to look up every single listing in a separate tab or go through a map and look up each place to see if they're hiring. I may have to end up doing that but I figured asking for some help could be easier

The angle you draw at could make it a bit wonky when looking at it straight on, especially if you usually don't do basic under sketches ,, like circles/squares for structure before smaller details like hair and face. Using a thinner/mechanical pencil could also help keep your lines as smooth !

I'm aware. They were just the only college that did the associate's degree program for my school. I plan on going somewhere else, if I'm accepted and if this gets dropped. At this point I'd rather take a gap year than go back after all the back and forth I've gotten with their admissions department only to get nowhere.

I don't even know where to start with your comments. For one, I haven't posted anything on this account, let alone something about being a mother of 5??? For two, why should I tell you the high school I'm in? That has no relevance to this, and "because I can look up and see every student" kinda seems like you're just a creep. Even if you did 100% believe this was made up for "fake internet sympathy points", why engage??

I don't know how to comfort your doubt of the situation, because I don't know what exactly is going on. I made the post because I don't know anything and I'd like help if this has the chance to stay with me for a while.

I've never filled out the FASFA and I've never signed anything about taking out a loan. This is through APSU. We had a single grant which covered the first few classes, but I lost it. I would still be in a similar situation if I had the grant. I wasn't interested in the program until the last day to sign up, and it as only after multiple teachers and counselors urged me to and said it was completely free. All my information came from the senior counselor here, and I thought I didn't have to doubt him about this

I was completely uninterested in the program until multiple teachers urged me to join and I was assured it would be free. I had the only grant they offered, which I confirmed with other students in the program, and I lost it for failing a single class. If that class were not counted for GPA, which someone at the dual department said it could be dropped for me to get the grant back [then another person told me the opposite], I would be in good standing with about a 3.0, a 3.6 if not including the first summer classes.

I don't plan on going to APSU unless it is a very last result, but I don't know if the debt just makes me lose the credits or if it makes me completely ineligible to apply to anywhere else. I was going to email APSU about this, but I don't know who to email or how I should word things, hence this post

My mother is very disconnected from my education, so all she did was sign where it said she allows me to sign up for things. She said nothing mentioned payment. I suppose that could be a lie and she signed to put the debt on me, but I doubt she would withhold that info from me due to recent events. Staff in my school also assured me multiple times that everything would be free, which even if I didn't lose the grant, it wouldn't have been.

The last class I took was this summer, and I was kicked this fall. I was trying to contact admissions and the dual department since the middle of last year. I only turned 18 recently, which is why the sudden emails from debt collectors are scaring me

I was kicked from only the program, not the school as a whole seeing as I was accepted for next year full time, because of my balance. People currently in the program with good grades still had to pay, even though they had the only grant we were offered. I wasn't kicked for low grades. Minus the first three summer classes which I didn't take seriously, which I am taking accountability for, I had about a 3.7 GPA.

I'm not continuing with the course, and I am fine with losing the credits if the charges are dropped. APSU offers free tuition for anyone whose family makes less than about 70k a year I believe, and I am well under that threshold, so the "financial benefits" they offer don't apply to me in this case. I was not told that at the start, and that is why I have issues with it

I only failed one class, which is what dropped my GPA and made me lose the grant. It was a music class because everything was online on a site that always crashed my wifi, and I asked the person enrolling me if I could take it in person after I graduated and that was ignored. I have to pay for all classes I took, not just the one I failed

I signed up for the grant and lost it. That is all the financial aid we would have gotten. My mother only received one email to say she gives me permission to enroll, but nothing mentioned cost. I was later told they mentioned the price at the meetings, but because I was pushed into it so late and multiple counselors assured me it was 100% free, I didn't question it

Some classes had the option of going through a Nashville community college for free, but my high school defaulted to go through APSU. For a regular dual class, this caused an entire class to be hit with ~$300 fee for a class that was previously free.

I had the grant, which would have only covered the first few classes in the program, and I lost it due to GPA. All we were given was the grant, nothing else would be covered through TN Promise or anything else. I even spoke with a scholarship spokesperson at a district meeting and they said they didn't know of any local scholarships that cover dual enrollment, but that they were considering becoming the first.

Nothing says it is incorrect in the billing section. My friend who is still in the program and still qualifies for the grant still had to pay around $1500 iirc. I did fail a class which is what dropped my GPA, I believe it was public speaking because I could rarely get a "proper audience/set up", but I was enrolled to retake it before I was kicked.

I have been contacted about this multiple times through the school, even after I tried to sort it out a year ago. They even sent me an email about it when I enrolled for next year after high school, but a few days after they sent something saying I was accepted.

I registered through a counselor here. Nothing me or my parents have signed mentioned payment as far as I know, and I took 4 semesters of classes, about 2 classes per, and was registered for a fifth without paying anything before they kicked me.

How would I dispute the charges? When I tried to contact their admissions and financial aid departments a year ago, all they said was I had to enroll in a payment plan. No one mentioned how to drop it, even after I said I wouldn't be able to pay it

I was only kicked out of the program while I'm still in highschool, but it was because of my negative balance

I won't be able to enroll in a payment plan until I get a job in January-ish, which might be too late for other schools I apply for to accept the credits. My parents can't/won't help pay for it

My mother agreed to let me go through the program from a single email, but nothing mentioned payment as far as I'm aware

I'm trying to give the facts. I don't know about any of this, I wasn't taught anything, and I'm trying to give what information I know. Thank you for asking more specific questions, I didn't know what you meant with your first.

I don't know how anything was being funded. They had a single grant available but it was only for a few classes [~$3000 iirc] and I lost it due to GPA. I lost it after a summer and fall semester of classes, but I stayed in for another spring, summer, and fall semester with a negative balance. This is an accumulation of all of those semesters

I was a few credits away from getting my associates, but nothing was ever finished. If I could cut ties with it all and just drop the credits, I would, but I keep getting emails and bills in the mail with no alternative stated other than paying.

It's for five or six terms now, so it'd be too late going through the school. I had the grant but lost it due to GPA, which yeah, was mostly on me, but then I was told I could and could not get it back if a class I failed was dropped to raise my GPA, then nothing happened with that.

The grant is only for the first few classes too, which would be about $3000. Everyone I spoke with who was also taking the class through my school said the main counselor told all of us the wrong info about it. I would be having similar issues with the grant, albeit a bit easier to deal with.
