<p>So I'm very sad because I emailed my counselor and asked her to include on my transcript the reason that I have gotten B's in Spanish for all the years I've taken it is because I wasn't diagnosed with dyslexia until fresh/soph summer. (My Spanish teachers all said I should've had an A except for my reading abilities because of the dyslexia. And my current Spanish teacher said if she wrote a rec for me for college that she'd explain that the only reason for the Bs was because of it.)</p>
<p>It's only bothersome because aren't guidance counselors supposed to help you with colleges? I would've had a 4.0 (up until this year, I'm getting a C or B in calc but that's all) without the dyslexia in Spanish. She told me it wasn't important and colleges wouldn't care about the Bs, except that they dropped my GPA from a 4.0 to a 3.83 because of circumstances beyond my control. </p>
<p>It's just frustrating and I needed to rant. PS, I'm applying to top colleges like Columbia, Cornell, and Amherst... </p>
<p>Grrrrrrrrrrrrr ok done.</p>
<p>That made me mad and I do not even know you.</p>
<p>Mad that I wrote it or mad that she did that?</p>
<p>Haha, that she did that. Dyslexia is not fun. We had a dyslexic cheerleader freshman year. Poor boy. Like he didnt have enough stress.</p>
<p>Mmm... the whole thing just makes me mad. She's hated me since freshman year because I transfered in from another school (private school) and wanted to test out of all the pointless freshman classes but she made me take them anyways because she never scheduled my testouts like we put in a request for. </p>
<p>Then she hated me because I took AP tests against her advice (I didn't take the classes) and got 4s across the board.</p>
<p>YUCK. I love my couselor. She was my math teacher freshman and sophmore year, so she really knows me. I make appts with her and we end up talking about new stuff we like at target.</p>
<p>Lol. Well, the thing about mine is she's young, unexperienced, and has nearly 600 students assigned to her when the recommendation is 250. Ugh.</p>
<p>This is probably the only reason that I liked private school better.</p>
<p>Wow. yea, def a plus to private school, but then you have all the hot shots who think that there exsistance is just amazing, and (sometimes) the religion that may or may not be yours, but you go to the chapels anyway.</p>
<p>Oh yes. I was a nonCatholic in a Catholic school so trust me I don't have much good to say about them. But there it was twenty students per counselor so it was much more personal.</p>
<p>Haha, I was catholic in a non demoniational school that was not exactly in favor of catholisim, so I tranferred to a catholic school and...um... all the catholic school sterotypes are true, so I transferred back.</p>
<p>^Lmfao. It's true. Catholic school kids are the worst.
(That's a generalization from personal experience. Don't attack me if you go to a Catholic school and don't fit some of the stereotypes, I didn't.)</p>
<p>I HATED Catholic school, and I am catholic. The were the biggest bic*hes ever.</p>
<p>having gone to a catholic school, I'm not exactly familiar with all of the stereotypes? could someone list some of the more prevalent ones for me?</p>
<p>i'll confirm/negate them</p>
<p>Drugs were more rampant, the people were EXTREMELY cliquey, the girls were "easier", and they did not like nonCatholics. I'm sure those more, but those were based on my experience.</p>
<p>Having gone to and not to catholic school, I will give you my confirmed sterotypes, lol</p>
<p>Many many...um, ok sluts, lots of sluts
And rich kids, thrilled by therer own exsistence
And some heavy drug users, because they can afford the good stuff</p>
<p>yeah, and the cliques. haha thise were funny.</p>
<p>Oh yeah! I FORGOT about the spoiled rich kids.</p>
<p>Yea, girl. the chicks that like cry because they cant get a manicure appt before friday, or because there dads bought them a beemer when they wanted a lexus!</p>
<p>I actually had a chick cry and throw something at her dad because she got a pink Porsche instead of a HOT pink Porsche. I wanted to run her over with the car.</p>
<p>That story made my night.</p>
