^^^bur there’d be zero purpose to doing that.

Another thing. Community College credits count just as much as “regular” college credits.

Most famous American people didn’t graduate Harvard or Yale.

Did you go there to have a college experience or to get a degree? Getting a degree seems to be missing from ASS-P's collage aspirations.


I was aiming for a degree but I had also wanted the social experiences and opportunities.

ASS-P wants to study film if I recall. He also wants a normal college experience. That is understandable. It's ok to want things.

I think it's okay to want things within limits.

...I lost a first draft of this post :cry: .
I am going to discuss just one aspect of my desire to go to CC and to uni from there right now - My past attempts to get help in finding my high school records, which are weirdly lost, and which any CC it uni will demand for any full-edged admission. They are oddly lost, and I believe that the so-called normal approach, if sending in your college application with information about your HS, will not work in my case. The records will likely come out incomplete to the applied-to college.
However, I am, essentially. resigned that I will not find any such help. There may we be no one here reading this who would be able and is williing to do this, and, besides which, much if the conversation here is dominated by screaming hatred for me,, often combined with claims that that person filled out a college application and got into college as a result of that with absolutely no help whatsoever in applying, and therefore I must do so.
I believe that that latter group is lying. They did have help in applying. I will discuss why later, as well as discussing the first group. Both the screamng-haters and the alone-liars.

...Now. The people who claim " I applied and got into college with NO HELP WHATSOEVER! therefore, you must do the same :x ! " are often the screaming haters as well. And, the alone-liars are lying :evil: . They had a while college preparation office in.HS, likely, to ask questions of and help from and, even then they knew they could call on them if they wanted. They likely had a functional system behind that would send their grades to anyone they applied to. They knew this, likely, and felt secure from it. They had the status of a HS student, and even places rejecting them would write them a rejection. :(

...No, actually, Ezra, I think I am outlining this in more detail -and what I intend to say following this - than usual. This is meant to be something of a summing up. It is intended to go for more, uninterrupted in the main statement, length than usual.
To continue ---------

...As I said, I have, basically concluded that any help in finding my records will not come from anyone here. There could be no one reading my posts who would be able, even if they were Willi g, to do it, to try and help me clean up the confusion of my school records - And, the conversation here about slake would appear to be rather affected by people who dire t utter have at me for asking for help sigh this - I doubt that most, if any, of these vitrol dispensers could help with it, I suppose, even were they that way inside, but they do not only not wish to do that, they spew. complete hatred at me for having done so. My question is WHY :( ?
Why do you think that me asking for help with lost recordsj, paperwork whose absense has prevented me from trying to use my a idiot to follow a dream of mine. paperwork which I need... Why do you feel that asking for help with that makes me worse than Adolph Hitler and Pol Pot combined? :( It's not, again, like I think you were going to help me much anyway, you who dispense that :| .
I just do not see what was so horrible about for asking for help with the lost records. Such help would not have have involved financial or material or personal intrusion. I was't asking for money or gifts or to sleep on your couch or to duck your underage sister. What it might have involved, had it happened, was me and " you " contacting by phoneOM/E-mail and you, once armed with family to in this, making some calls and writing some letters to the holders of my records, perhaps explaining that you are acting for so.eo e who is a bit ill and lost his records and has had some bad experiences with records personnel in the last and even that he is a bit behind on communicating with modern technology.
Quite frankly, another task. I might want help with finding the records is that I realize that someone talking reasonably might be more likely to get favorable results. Anything else aside, dealing with records personnel I might be likely to cry hysterically at them and ask " WHY? " :cry: they did what they did to me :cry: - It, curse and hate them angrily :( I grant that this might not get much results. As far as tech goes, too, even now, with an improved financial picture... I only have cheap phones, no other method of communication to I own - which might out me at a disadvantage when dealing with records people. All of this above is essentially 100% " if it had ", again, I have basically completely given up on seeking help with the records confusion from anyone here. I asked, no one could/would help :(, it's essentially over. I still think/hooe some that I could get help from other corner/s, perhaps professional ones q- Maybe finding my records is too complex for an amateur to do - If only I could pose the request for help right, to someone who is receptive. Someone in the records business might be offended if I asked to put down profession too much - And of course, I would have to find someone who was.reaso ably friendly inclined towards me and helping me in the first place :) .

What high school records that the community college you're applying to asking for?

The only thing my college is asking for is that I graduated from high school or got a GED. Which they will verify on their own. All I have to do is tell them the name of the school I graduated from or what school issued me a GED.

Did I crave it? Maybe sort of.

I went the "adult" route. I started at 36, graduated at 45.


You get treated so much better at college as an adult than as a teenager.

...One of the purposes of this thread - Which, remember, is a touch tucked away in the School forum, not in a - I assume - more posted-within, mire traversed forum is to detail my backstory. To detail my sad :( past attempts to go back to college in my 2os and 30s and how they blew up in my face - how the College-Industrial Complex spat in my face in contempt when I tried. And how, in fact, these attempts were conducted in just, or close to, the manner that the alone-liars demand that I carry out any college attempt - Assuming that they, if they had the chance, would let make such an attempt at all :( . I did them with little or no help from anyone. And they were disasters :( .
Perhaps this might convince someone that I really did try, and I really might deserve help :cry: . Oh, though I suppose KK might not have been directing his
comment in that direction at me - I was never trying to go to Harvard or Yale. You will see that the carried-out attempts were generally for state universities. In't that - " You " meaning anyone - humble enough for you? Or is that asking for too much :) ?

I reminded you of this before - a member here DID contact your old high school for you. The school just needs your mailing address and will send a copy of your record. They are not lost. I’m not going to go back through your old threads to find the posts for you, but the information is there.

What I'm wondering is what the college ASS-P is applying to is asking for beyond him having graduated from high school or having gotten a GED.

That’s all he needs—aside from his personal identification.

I was saying that credits from a community college count the same as credits from Yale or Harvard. Ezra may be under the mistaken impression that community college is at the “bottom of the barrel” as far as colleges go.

It's okay to want them boundlessly.
