They all regretted paying the unemployment benefits.
Miss Xu, a student, said that most of the more than 2 Chinese students are new immigrants from Chinese mainland, some of whom have no status yet, and some are still applying for status. ? Many students can't get a driver's license because they have no identity, so they either take a bus or take someone else's car to class every day. I didn't know what it means to have no car is to have no legs until I came to Los Angeles. ?
why do so many Chinese students get together? Mr. Chu, a student, explained that most of these new immigrants are not good at English. The same identity and situation make them feel dependent on each other. They like to hold groups and inform each other and share everything. Because the conditions are similar, what a person can do will be followed by everyone, and people will gather more and more.
call yourself? Are you sorry for your intestines? Mr. Cai said that he used to be a bank loan officer in China, which was a fat job. But I don't know what's wrong with me. I watched others rush to the United States, and I followed in a daze. ? At the beginning, I really thought that the moon in the United States was rounder than that in China. After I came, I discovered that my American dream turned out to be a fast food delivery, a moving company carrying a big one and a hotel serving dishes. It's a little better now, but massage is still a hard work. ?
Ms. Huang, who paid her tuition with unemployment benefits, said: Many students are worse off than me, and their tuition fees are borrowed. ? In China, she went to the massage parlor every week to enjoy herself. She didn't expect that it would be her turn to serve others today. Sad! ? However, what is even sadder is that she is afraid to tell her family and friends at home. Let them know that I'm doing a massage in America now, so why don't everyone spit and drown me? ?
The curse of the massage industry: Earn money only for children
Why are there so many Chinese people in the massage industry? What kind of curse has fascinated hundreds of new Chinese immigrants? In this regard, the student Miss Liu's answer is: If we don't choose the massage industry, what can we do without identity? With the economic downturn, even American citizens can't find jobs. How can we be picky with such conditions? Massage is better than clothing factories and restaurants, plus fluent English is not required in this industry, and schools don't check their identities. If you can get a massage license, you don't need to work as a black worker. ?
? In Los Angeles, where the unemployment rate is as high as 12%, we can still get a monthly income of 5, yuan. What are we not satisfied with? Although massage is tiring, China people can bear hardships. ? Student Miss Zhang said.
Mr. Liu, a student, said helplessly: People like us who throw 4 to 5, English is not good, and there is no major. It is too late to go to college, and we can't afford the tuition of 1, yuan. What else can we do without this? If it weren't for the children, what would we do in America? ?
was the college miserable? Lahei? Chinese? Sweet dreams? Facing disillusionment
However, the American dream of massage clan is not easy to do. In mid-July, some students found out from the Internet that their Americana Massage Institute was approved by the California Massage Council (CAMTC)? Lahei? (blacklisted), the college immediately fried the pot. Many students burst into tears, because they spent 16 yuan, spent several months, and exchanged it with fatigue and sweat? American dream? Will be shattered again. Due to different learning conditions, students are right? Lahei? The students who have just paid their tuition fees and haven't attended classes are worried that the school hacking will affect their ability to get a massage license after graduation, and they all ask for a full refund. However, the school said that the registration fee of 25 yuan would be deducted, and students were required to fill out an application form. The college will return the balance one month after receiving the application form.
Students who have taken half of the courses are suffering and don't know whether to enter or retreat. Return it, I am worried that the school will not give a full refund; Come in, and worry that the college will go bankrupt at any time, and people will go to the house empty, making a bamboo basket draw water with a sieve; Even if you get lucky enough to graduate, are you worried? Lahei? The door prevents you from getting a massage license.
The graduating students have a clear attitude: they are advancing and retreating with the school, and the muzzle is aimed at the massage committee. The students shouted? The massage Committee's decision is unreasonable, and we must fight to the end! ?
The most troublesome thing is the students who have graduated but can't get their licenses. Many of them also rushed to school to ask for an explanation. Student Mr. Yang complained:? We attend class on time every day, finger-print four times a day, take notes and take exams. Everything meets the requirements of the massage committee. Why not give us a license? Why can white students get licenses while Chinese students can't? This is obviously racist! ?
? Lahei? Door sequela
Entrusted by some students, Liu Longzhu, a Chinese lawyer in Los Angeles, came to Americana Massage College on July 27th. Lahei? The door incident negotiated with the principal, Robert Gabai, and asked the school to refund the students in full. Under the pressure of lawyers, although the school said it would consider a full refund, it put forward new requirements: 1. Refund students should apply for a refund in writing to the school. 2. The school will reply whether to refund the application one month after receiving it.
massage college? Hacked? After that, the number of students suddenly dropped, and more than 2 students were reduced to more than a dozen. Many Chinese students who originally asked for a full refund gave up the idea of going to court and left one after another, considering that the lawyer's fees might be more expensive than the tuition fees, the lawsuit would be a protracted war, and the school might declare bankruptcy at any time.
Miss Xu, a student, is worried. At the end of July, I submitted my application for refund. In early August, the school sent me a letter saying that after deducting the registration fee and tuition fees for several classes, the tuition fee of 1,6 yuan could only be returned to me, 1 yuan. I think it over and over, and I don't think it's cost-effective. Finally, I decided not to pay for it and finished the rest of the course. I heard that the college is working for? Lahei? If I win the case, my diploma may still be useful. ?
