About two and half weeks ago, funding for school had changed by eight hundred and seventy five dollars in the schools favor. When you have twenty-two students that add up, I have become a little irked by that. The thing that irks me the most is by far the fact that the school is going to withhold my original diving certificates until I meet my financial obligations, “per school policy”. When the financial aid officer said that to me, it seemed to galvanize me into taking action, in this case it’s going to be a petition that the whole/majority of the class will agree on. I’m hoping that I left the petition letter open ended enough so that we can negotiate it if necessary. We’ll see. I start the circulation of the petition today. I’m starting to get a little nervous, because, I’ve never done this and it’s actually pretty exciting. Especially since I don’t really expect the school to do anything, however, I expect to raise a stink enough to let them know that the bullshit that they tried to shovel was just that. It’s about principal. Almost kinda personal because I truly believe that the school really underestimates the ability and/or motivation of most the students, plus the director of training is kinda a grade A asshole. Completely arrogant and hypocritical, but in reality, this change in funding has affected a lot of students. And I would like to know that they don’t get fucked. Money is money. I may be taking it a little more personally than I should, however, that can be a eschewed view, it’s passion,
