Tomorrow I would be going out to get my transcript of records in order for me to apply for a job or a school. Now... The problem here it, My life has been screwed up because of these transcript of records. Instead of it actually helping me go further in life, the thing is actually holding me back. How did it start? I enrolled in a school, everything went smoothly, the girl made me choose the subjects that are available and they made me pick the best schedule for me. And so I did, but when classes began, s**t happened, one of the class I chose turned out to be a class for girls I could've changed schedules but the problem is, when I tried, the registrar lady won't let me. She said "CLASSES STARTED ALREADY! YOU SHOULD'VE CHANGED EARLIER". I find it unfair... First of all, how am I to know if it was for girls if classes hadn't started, next... they shouldn't have approved my schedule if they knew it was for girls. (the class was swim class by the way). Anyways... Because of this screw up, I ended up having a failed subject and because of that. I'm having a hard time obtaining my transcript of records, giving me a hard time transferring schools or getting a job. This is just a rant. But at the same time... I want to share the failure of a system we have in this country.

Sadly, they really are f*cking it even more. Planning to add two more years to grade school. Very smart decision.

hi there! i think you really had a big misunderstanding with your school registrar. yes, you were right if only they were not too lazy to check that you're a male enrolling for an all-girl subject they shouldn't have accepted you for the class. they should told you to change the subject anyway. but i guess you can't do anything about it now because its all in the past. but in any case that you can still fix the matter, ask your school if they can omit the subject from your transcript since you haven't attended in an obvious reason that you are male. i hope for your luck on finding a good job. happy mylotting!

Thanks, currently trying to fix my papers. We had a job hunt last week but unfortunately the interviewer hated us the moment she started interviewing us. I really hate the system here. Back in Australia I easily got a job. But here in the Philippines... I can't get a job because of their unreasonable requirements. Anyways... Happy mylotting to you as well... :)

OMG!!!! well I think it's a bit lighter than what i have experienced. I got some financial problem a week before our graduation. My mom got sick and she had to have opereation. So my instinct told me to ask the registrar if it's going to be okay if I'm paying my last account a little bit late. They said yes, I was very thankful. However, on the day of graduation I have to get my gate pass for the marching but oh no, they said I have to pay my account or else I couldn't march...and that means no graduation... It was a mess...

Damn! They really screwed you. Was that for college graduation or High School? Its really unfair, graduation is about graduating from your studies not graduation for paying your tuition. Your case is really unfair.
