Last year I submitted a proposal to my college for credit for previous life experience as a working chef. I had almost 20 years in the business before I left for a new life, much of which revolved around ESC and my completion of my B.A.
It has been made aware to me that the evaluator never sent any of the forms into the college. So I called the evaluator. According to her she sent them three times and then finally on a special form supplied to her by the college itself–all before the holidays.
So where did the form go? Whose in-box did it land in and who deleted it from their file? Who is to blame? Who is lying? Who is guilty of discrimination?
I have to admit that trying to get any credit from the college has been a disappointment. They do not accept credit from “trade schools” like culinary institutes. On the other hand they do automatically give credit to people who have served in the armed forces.
Perhaps I should have learned how to kill rather than cook. Then I would have no problem getting credit.
