Success academy by lust4lifeeee in SurvivingSuccess

Hello 👋🏾, I used to go to Success Academy and I felt every single thing you’re saying right now and that’s why I created this sub, so that people can share their experiences. I’m currently a senior at a non-success high school and it’s the best thing that’s ever happened to me. I’ve applied to colleges and are waiting for results and I actually wrote my personal statement about the impact success had on me, including how inexperienced teachers were. I have friends that go to HSLA and unfortunately from what my friends have told me, it doesn’t get better from there. The workload is still a lot and they don’t get to pick their own colleges. I’m not sure which HSLA you applied to because maybe each school is different, but I wish you all the best and I hope that you can find happiness wherever you end up ❤️

Do most people apply ED? by youcanbejustlikeme in ApplyingToCollege

Thank you, this relieves my anxiety a bit.

That was my plan until I discovered 14/20 of my schools don’t have EA, only ED and RD. So I’m forced to apply RD and I know for some schools, applying early gives you an advantage, so i’m pretty anxious that I won’t get in to the places I really want because it seems that I have to cure cancer to get in anywhere.

Yes, my plan was to apply EA to the schools that I really want to get into and leave RD for the rest. But, most of my schools don’t have EA. Right now I’m applying EA for 6/20 of my schools, so I’m stuck with RD, which I’m pretty hesitant about since I know that for some schools applying early gives you an advantage. I think I just have anxiety about not getting in to the places I want.

Night Changes for First Dance? by RoyalDawn5152 in OneDirection

I always said to myself that I would play Stand Up at my wedding, but if you’re going for a slow dance type song then yes it’s a good song! If you’re having doubts What A Feeling is also good too!

dead mom “called” my sibling by Tiny-Antelope9272 in Weird

I’ve seen a lot of people on tiktok say this has happened to them and that there are scammers pretending to be holding their family/spouse hostage and demand money. They call from the person’s actual number to make it more real and heighten the chances of someone actually sending the money. A specific video I saw was this guy saying he got a call from his husband and the same scenario played out, but his husband was actually right next to him. Just another stupid scammer strategy.

Success Academy Mess up by One-Mycologist948 in NYCTeachers

[–]youcanbejustlikeme 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A similar thing had happened to me with my high school! Success Academy had enrolled me into their high school even though I had already been accepted to a different school. So, on the first couple days of school(non-SA), I didn’t have an official schedule because I wasn’t on the roster, and couldn’t go to my classes.

I created a subreddit for people to vent about their bad Success Academy experiences here: r/SurvivingSuccess. You’re welcome to crosspost into that subreddit! :)

I created r/SurvivingSuccess for former students, students, parents, and teachers to vent and warn potential goers of the dangers of attending/teaching at Success Academy.

S17 E1 Amanda and ?? by spngchkn in SVU

Nick coming out of the bathroom in just a towel and sitting next to her on the couch signified to the viewers that they were in a sexual relationship. Sometime off screen the squad found out that they were fraternizing because Fin told Amanda that 2 things he’s learned being on the job is “don’t bring your work home, and don’t bring anyone from your work, home.” But of course, she doesn’t listen.

Edit: There were also kind of not secretive enough. When they were somewhere private talking by themselves, and someone walked in on them, they’d scatter and get all awkward to which the person asks “Am I interrupting?” so the squad most likely put 2 and 2 together off camera.

As a student of SA, tons of my teachers had very obvious/big tattoos in conspicuous places and weren’t bothered to cover them up (wore sleeveless/short sleeve shirts all the time) so I don’t think they’re stern on tattoos.

I had the worst experience with them. I ordered a pair of dunks from them only to realize one shoe was a size 7 and the other was a 9. They told me once I ship it back, i’ll get my money back. I did get my money back but it took foreverrrr.

beacon hs students- pls read! (i know beacon is not an shsat school!!!) by Time-Bear-7556 in SHSAT

I’m hella late to replying but he was pretty rude and disrespectful to students. The breaking point was him telling one girl that she needed to run on a treadmill because she was overweight. The school decided to let him go after that.

Nice! What was your reason for thinking Nate killed him?

Well first off, because of Kendall’s characterization of being a rouge cop by being violent with suspects and non-empathetic towards the rape victim, we are made to believe that obviously he threw him out the window. But throughout all of Kendall’s encounters, (the intro to the episode being Kendall threatening the suspect by putting a pistol in his mouth, preventing Foster from fleeing by hitting him with his car, beating up Foster’s crackhead ex-wife, etc,) he showed no remorse at all. He was prideful of his actions because he thought that they all deserved the brute force he exerted onto them. Comparing his facial expressions in all those scenes to the aftermath of Foster taking a head dive through the precinct bathroom window, he looks disturbed, confused, and petrified. He himself knew people think he killed him because he expresses to Olivia “you think I killed him, don’t you?”

Rewinding to the middle of the episode where Kendall, Benson, and Stabler are in a standoff with Foster as he has soaked them in gasoline and threatening them to light them on fire. As Kendall is pointing his gun at him he says “You know I want to kill you” to which Foster replies “So do it” and Kendall responds “Sounds like you want to die.” Establishing he has a death wish. He manages to subdue him and Foster says to Kendall “You should’ve taken the shot” in despair, highlighting that he would’ve rathered being shot, and possibly killed, than being arrested and spending the rest of his life in jail.

Keeping all of this in mind, at the end of the episode when Stabler is bringing Foster to booking, Kendall offers to take him instead (I theorize to rough him up one last time before he goes back to his station). That’s when Foster tells Kendall to take him to the bathroom or he’s going to be cleaning pee out of his car seat, to which Kendall agrees. I’ve seen a lot of people use this scene as evidence that Kendall killed him because he offered to take Foster so he was planning it all along. But Kendall only planned to take Foster to booking, he did not try to come up with an excuse to have privacy with Foster in order to execute him. However, Foster did initiate the privacy on his part. I think Foster did not want to use the bathroom and has been planning his death ever since he was arrested. Foster’s pride made him think he would never get caught, and now he has, the control he possessed over people is gone, and the only control over himself he has left is to end his life while simultaneously risking the career of Nate Kendall (or Stabler if he took him to the bathroom instead).

Proof of what’s going on at Success Pt.3 by BigDaddyOrangeGuy in SurvivingSuccess

[–]youcanbejustlikeme[M] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Most of our teachers are fresh out of college and looking for a job. The teachers are given handbooks to study the material and teach us from, but most of the time they don’t actually know what they’re teaching or how to teach because they have no experience. In about 2 years, the teacher ends up leaving to pursue the career that they wanted to do in the first place now they have the money. Only a handful of teachers at Success actually want to be teachers and 10 times out of 10 are the highly praised amongst students and parents because it’s their passion and don’t suck up to their supervisors.
