Miss Xu, a student, said that most of the more than 200 international students from China are new immigrants from China, some of whom have no identity yet, and some are still applying for identity. ? Many students can't get a driver's license because they have no identity, so they either take the bus or take someone else's car to class every day. I didn't know that no car means no legs until I came to Los Angeles. ?
Why do so many China students get together? Student Zhu explained that most of these new immigrants are not good at English. The same identity and circumstances make them feel interdependent. They like to group, inform each other and share everything. Because the conditions are similar, what a person can do will be imitated by everyone, and the more people gather, the more people will gather.
Claiming that you are sorry for your intestines? Mr Cai said that he once worked as a bank loan officer in China, which was a very fat job. But I don't know what happened to me. I watched others rush to America, and I followed in a daze. ? I really thought that the moon in the United States was rounder than that in China. Only after I arrived did I find out that my American dream turned out to be a fast food delivery, a big moving company and a hotel with dishes. It's better now, but massage is still hard work. ?
Ms. Huang, who paid the tuition with unemployment benefits, said: Many students are worse than me, and the tuition fees are borrowed. ? In China, she goes to the massage parlor every week to enjoy it. She didn't expect it would be her turn to serve others today. Sad! ? However, what is more sad is that she dare not tell her family and friends at home. Let them know that I am doing massage in America now, why don't everyone spit and drown me? ?
The curse of massage industry: endure hardships and make money only for children.
Why do so many people in China get together to do massage? What is the curse that fascinates hundreds of new immigrants from China? In this regard, the student Miss Liu's answer is: If you don't choose the massage industry, what can you do without identity? The economy is so depressed that even American citizens can't find jobs. How can such conditions be picky? Massage is better than clothing factories and restaurants, and this industry does not require fluency in English, and schools do not check their identities. If you can get a massage license, you don't need to do illegal work. ?
? In Los Angeles, where the unemployment rate is as high as 12%, we can still earn 5000 yuan a month. What are we dissatisfied with? Massage is tiring, but people in China can bear hardships. ? Student Miss Zhang said.
Student Mr. Liu said helplessly: For those of us who throw away forty or fifty, English is not good and there is no major. It's too late to go to college, and I can't afford the tuition of 65,438+10,000. What else can we do if we don't do this? What would we do in America if it weren't for the children? ?
College is miserable? Lahei? China? Sweet dreams? Face disillusionment
However, the American dream of massaging people is not easy to do. In mid-July, some students found out from the Internet that their Americana massage parlor was approved by the California Massage Association (CAMTC)? Lahei? (blacklisted), the college immediately fried the pot. Many students were in tears, because they spent 1600 yuan, spent several months, and got it with fatigue and sweat? American dream? Will be shattered again. Because of different learning conditions, students are right? Lahei? The response of the door is different:
Students who have just paid their tuition fees and haven't attended class are worried that their school will be hacked, and they will not get a massage license after graduation, and they all demand a full refund. However, the school said that 250 yuan's registration fee will be deducted and students must fill out an application form. The college will refund the balance one month after receiving the application form.
Students who have studied for half are suffering, and they don't know whether to enter or leave. Return it, I am worried that the school will not give a full refund; When I came in, I was worried that the college would go bankrupt at any time, and people would go to the building and draw water with a sieve; Even if you are lucky enough to graduate, are you worried? Lahei? The door prevents you from getting a massage license.
The attitude of the graduating students is clear: advance and retreat with the school, aiming at the massage Committee. The students shouted? The decision of the massage Committee is unreasonable, and we must fight to the end! ?
The most tangled thing is the students who have graduated but can't get a license. Many of them also rushed to the school to ask for explanations. Student Mr. Yang complained:? We attend class on time every day, fingerprint four times a day, take notes and take exams. Everything meets the requirements of the massage Committee. Why don't you give us a permit? Why can white students get licenses, but China students can't? This is obviously racial discrimination! ?
? Lahei? Sequela of the door
Entrusted by some students, Liu Longzhu, a lawyer from China in Los Angeles, came to the American Massage College on July 27th. Lahei? The door incident negotiated with the principal, Robert Gabai, and asked the school to fully refund the students. Under the pressure of lawyers, although the school said it would consider a full refund, it put forward a new requirement: 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 Academy? Hacked? After that, the number of students suddenly dropped, and more than 200 students were reduced to more than a dozen. Many foreign students from China who originally asked for a full refund, considering that the lawyer's fee may be more expensive than the tuition fee, and the lawsuit will be a protracted war, the school may declare bankruptcy at any time, give up the idea of going to court and leave one after another.
Miss Xu, a student, is worried. At the end of July, I submitted a refund application. At the beginning of August, the school sent me a letter saying that after deducting the registration fees and tuition fees for several classes, 1600 yuan's tuition fees could only be refunded to me. I thought about it and thought about it, but I didn't think it was cost-effective. Finally, I decided not to pay and finished the rest of the course. I heard that the college is working for? Lahei? If I win the lawsuit, my diploma may still be useful. ?
