Just this afternoon, while in my class, our college's guidance counselor came and asked me to see him at the Guidance Office. I was wondering what it was. The latest violation I had was September of 2008 when I went to school without my ID card.
I met with him later and asked about the 4 absences I had in one of my subjects. 5 is the maximum number of absences one is allowed for this term. I said, in my defense, and in a good manner that I only have 3. My professor in that boring, blasted subject, who I may add teaches like high school, miscounted my absences as 4. I told that professor that it was only 3 and I showed proof---the activity that professor gave us that day.
Now this Guidance Counselor of ours asked me what do I want in life. I replied, "We all crave for success." This GC of ours has been acting as if he is better than me since the first term.. I have respect for authority but there are just certain times when you want to contradict them---that's called rebellion. They have to do their job, I understand that, but I think his approach in dealing with me is a little bit out-of-line.
For the record, I am aware, I understand and I know the repercussions of having excessive absences. I need not be reminded. It is my responsibility to go to class. I am not one of those students who go to school to just to fail their subjects, chat with friends and don't care about learning. I study smart. And yes, I will graduate college and be a successful person in my field.
It will take time, but I will get there.
