i'll be graduating from Rockledge High

Post Reply New Topic

Hi,

My name is Hunter. I'll be graduating from Rockledge high school. Rockledge is located right by KSC or kennedy space center. I want to say the following:

I'm one of 3 As kids to graduate from Rockledge in 5yrs.

I have a hard time finding AS kids in brevard county.

I'll be attending BCC in the fall for my AS in Business Admin


I currently work for Publix. They have been real patient w/ me and my disability. If you live in Florida, Georgia, Alabama, South Carolina, or Tennessee, check Publix for open positions. I bag grocerys and NO MANAGER has discrimated against me. Any tips for college are most appreciated.

Hunter,

First, if you are already set up for classes at BCC, I would suggest taking the classes, getting an associates degree, and then transfer to a 4 year school. It will be quite a bit cheaper. I did the same thing. Started at Erie Community College and then transferred to Rochester Institute of Technology (both in New York).

One word of advice, when having issues with AS and the classroom, work with the teacher first rather than the disabilites office. The disabilities office is so understaffed that they really create more problems than solutions and in college, the instructors (or professors) are more likely to come up with workable solutions than the disability office (I have seen this in Real Life).

Also, try to find solutions to you own problems before asking assistance from others. Many people will be more apt to assist you if you are willing to assist yourself.

thanks,

I will.

Well, my disabilities office isn't too bad. I meet with the head of the office every week and she's really involved. They're also good to lord over somewhat uncooperative professors, if the occasion arises.

But I think most professors would be fine to just go to directly. If they give you problems, then work through the disabilities office as well as get any accomodations you might need.

Thanks for replies. I will work w/ the disabilities office, and the teachers. If any of you guys have a Myspace, check out mine.
