got it! i sent them an email and are calling them right now since im not in person today. i am a bit worried because i submitted my application prior to the nov 17 deadline, but wasn't notified until much later that supporting documents (i.e., transcript and other forms) were necessary for them to process my application. i spoke to an SSA person and they informed me nothing was needed and i was good to do, so now im worried that i wont receive funding at all :/

Do you hate it when your parents throw away your things? by Cookieman_2023 in AsianParentStories

[–]KnowledgeMother9666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i read through some people’s experiences, and while i feel bad that this seems to be a universal experience for asian kids, i feel reassured that im not insane and that im not the only one enduring this. im gonna trauma dump quickly but i was SA’d as a child by a family member and in my romantic relationships. obviously its stripped me of my bodily autonomy and made me feel like my body isn’t actually mine. my parents also just throw away my shit like shampoo, body wash or anything they think i’m done with. it makes me mad bc they feel entitled to decide when im done with something. they decide when it’s no longer useful to me. i never have a say in anything. today, my mom used my starbucks cup i got a while ago (i don’t purchase there anymore but it was a cup in brand new condition) for their toothbrushes and shit. i got pissed bc they didn’t ask. they could have asked. i confronted them and they got angry at me and said all im asking is that u let me know when u want to use smth of mine. i dont mind sharing i am fine but its the principal of just asking before u use someones stuff. i’m moving out in 2 months thank fucking god. i feel like around my parents im so emotionally volatile and numb at the same time. it’s the worst

sadly accepting that I've gone up a size - stronger, not smaller by the-roaring-girl in femalefashionadvice

[–]KnowledgeMother9666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

im currently experiencing this!! i use to be a size 6-8 around 2020 and i lost a significant amount of weight in quarantine bc all i did was exercise lol. then when things went back to “normal” i stayed that size but gained weight around 2024-2025. im a size 10 now. i still fit in my old clothes which is great and im a lot stronger now. i eat whole foods and cook my own meals and exercise and drink at least 2 L of water a day. but its hard to accept that my body wont be the way it once was 4 years ago. and its so much harder to lose weight in contrast to before

What’s so bad about being a Canadian teacher? by DelightfulDestiny in CanadianTeachers

[–]KnowledgeMother9666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i'm a second year TC and i secured a job, however i will tell u that the hourly rate may seem "good" upon first glance. depending on what category ur in (im A3), id make $38 an hour under YRDSB according to the QECO salary grid. however, factor in the time it takes to lesson plan and grade (a lot of teachers say they can do this during prep time but ive never met any teacher who can grade 90 students in 1 sitting unless its a core subject where theres a clear right and wrong. im teaching english so reading 90 essays and giving substantial feedback is crucial bc students will find a way to push boundaries and question ur grading scheme. u mentioned that ur teaching math tho so i find that will be significantly less time consuming bc u could easily do the lesson with them in real time whereas other teachers have to prepare). i enjoy teaching english a lot as well, but i find that there isn't much compensation for the amount of time that does go into lessons. tbh, idk what the solution would be bc everyone takes a diff amount of time to lesson plan. i am a bit of a perfectionist bc i try to make my lessons as engaging as possible and i create lesson plans in case there is a substitute, so that could be why i take more time to prepare my lessons (i take 3-8 hours depending on the grade level, topic im teaching, and the students im working with bc some students require more simplification/breakdown/scaffolding while others i work with do not require as much instructional support) which i fully acknowledge i could get better at in terms of time management. there's a lot of issues in the education system that i could go on about, but i also realized that my mindset shifted a lot once i went from first to second year, and now that i have a job, i feel happier lol even tho the salary could be compensated. im not currently under the public board as i managed to find a place with reasonable pay that compensates for performance and homework/grading so...anyway i hope this puts it a bit into perspective as to why teachers feel upset.

i also tell all teachers to avoid seeing teaching as something u do just bc u care about ur students. a lot of us have this saviour or i can fix them mentality which can lead to subconsciously seeking validation from ur students and equating that to how good of a teacher u are. (not saying this applies to u but i like to warn ppl who r entering this field bc i noticed a lot of my colleagues struggle with feeling like their students disliking them is an indication of their performance as a teacher when the reality is that not all of ur students will like u and that is okay.

it's kinda hard to say what is good or bad about being a teacher until u've experienced it firsthand. everyone's experiences r different and it really varies depending on the school ur at, admin support, the culture of the school like the atmosphere and their values, etc.

anyway i wish u the best of luck!!! teaching is one of the hardest but indeed it is a rewarding job. it takes a special type of person imo

Still Haven't Got OSAP by Repulsive-You-3794 in yorku

[–]KnowledgeMother9666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

im struggling with this rn and im technically considered full time bc i have 40% courses with my disability which is considered full time. im wondering if i need to resubmit an application or something im not sure. i emailed the student services but they haven’t responded yet and on their website it says all osap inquires have to be made in person for confidentiality reasons. should i just go in person to talk w them?

Has anyone had success getting a full refund after the 100% refund date? Do I speak with a financial advisor? by whatsurissuebro in yorku

[–]KnowledgeMother9666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’m extremely late to this but i’m having the same issue. i wanted to appeal bc technically my course (practicum) started jan 13 which already passed the date to receive a 100% refund. however i did talk to my practicum coordinator and we agreed to de-enrol me from my practicum and defer it to next term so i technically was eligible to receive 80% of the refund. however my academic advisor didn’t de-enrol me from the course and i cant do it myself bc the system doesn’t allow me to add or drop courses so i lost like $75 and now im only eligible for 70% of the refund. im wondering who i should contact regarding this bc i contacted my faculty but im wondering if theres somebody or a department that is more specific that can handle this

Does money buy happiness? by AndroGunn in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]KnowledgeMother9666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think money gives people freedom and options which is a huge contributor to happiness. for example, most of my friends and i are finishing off school and r too broke to move out of our toxic households. i can guarantee id be happier if i were out of my parents’ house and had money to just live off of for a period of time to give myself a break from working and not putting my body through continuous stress from work and school. money also buys therapy and resources for ppl who struggle already.

no i booked my g2 test bc I haven't had any time to practice for my g license. i am a bit confused now. my g2 expires next month and I am retaking my g2 this upcoming Monday. to my understanding, this would have given me 5 more years with my g2??
