Ask Amy: Addiction is a family disease
He made it clear that he would not work with me. I left feeling that I would never escape the failures of my past.
I later approached College B and was accepted on a probationary basis.
One year later, not only did I graduate the teacher licensing program with flying colors, but I returned to that school for my master’s degree and graduated with a 3.9 GPA.
I have worked as a highly qualified teacher for almost a decade now, working with low-income students.
I have helped to improve our school’s science scores on state standardized tests, and families frequently tell me their students are excited about science.
As a teacher, I cannot imagine putting my students through the type of degrading experience like the one I had with the department head at College A.

I feel strongly that this man should know how his words and actions could affect an aspiring student.
Should I write to him (or the college) and let them know of this experience?
