The Verasity of my post..

College Majors Theater/Drama Majors

Hi,

I didn’t know that there was a problem. My kid opened the first account and he was not home when I signed in. I thought he used my facebook page, it was only when I saw that there was a different username did I realize the problem. Hmm… not much hiding username sunflower2499 vs sunflower99. I guess I could have deleted one but the usernames were pretty much the same, so I didn’t change. I wish you would have asked my before closing the conversation. But I do know that being ignorant of the law is not an excuse so for that; I am guilty as charged.

My statements were true and easily verified. I didn’t know that I shouldn’t give an e-mail address until you explained why… Another learning moment for me.

My son chose not to remain at his school, because it wasn’t the right fit for him. How many of you kept the same major when you went to college? How many of you have accepted a job only to know you didn’t belong? I am proud that he didn’t want to take on more loans. I supported him and loved him as my parents did when I switched schools and divorced my first husband. So, he went to the unifieds again and the rest is history. He will attend DePaul and is on the waiting list for Rutgers.

We did go to CCPA last year as about 75 other admitted students. If that lady wasn’t invited to go to Vivid, tour the school, meet with teachers and do financial aid; why would anyone lie about something so easily verifiable?. My son told me that we met someone with the username Olivia and her son at that event. Don’t believe me… ask Olivia.

I helped my son by not hovering over him and that is all that I was saying. So, I’m not too sure why this discussion was closed. I paid for applications, made sure he was clothed, loved and fed but in the end, he was the one who walked into that audition not me.

Obviously, being polite and being politically correct aren’t the same thing. I try to be polite and kind at all times. I noticed that someone said that this group mentioned that there have been threads on helicopter parents and that you’ve also witnessed these people. I think that you would have paid it forward and done them a lot more good by telling them the truth, in a kind way instead of mimicking and laughing at them.

Veracity is with a “c”.

Seriously? let me correct that for you… bad speller or liar? I’m okay with that. At least this time you didn’t call me a liar.

Okay, look, I think I know who you met in the elevator. It’s not Olivia, but close enough. If I’m right, her kid is not at CCPA but elsewhere,but she might have gone to Vivid with him. So you’re telling the truth, but you are still not being very nice to a bunch of people who have really struggled with this god-awful process and done their best and tried not to get in the way while also supporting their kids. I would not tell anyone how to do this, especially not on my first post ever, and I certainly wouldn’t make fun of the schools they’ve chosen.

Bravo @Jkellynh17!

From a student perspective, and for what it’s worth, I could’ve used a little more “parental hand-holding” through this process. And I am a characteristically independent young woman. Just saying that it isn’t typically constructive to prescribe a one size fits all “fix” to any community, but especially not to a community so committed to supporting their children and one another as best as they can.
