[nagdu] I was not excepted

[Pickrell, Rebecca M (TASC)]

Jenny,
It's their loss, not yours. Remember that.
Try other schools. There are many out there.
The school that rejected you isn't the only game in town.

Subject: [nagdu] I was not excepted

My application was not excepted for the following reasons, which I found rediculous at best.

they brought a dog with them without telling me about it.  Then expected me to work that dog, who I have never worked with before, in snowy conditions.  they said that I did not put trust in said dog so they wer concerned about that.  Even though I did the Juno walks with her just fine.

also, they wanted me to have twenty minutes of a routes, three or more, that I walk to get things done.  I explained that the sidewalks in Rockford are treturous, and that between walking to the bus stop, getting to the correct gate at the terminal, and then walking from the bus stop to wherever I'm going constitutes that twenty minutes, it's just not a streight non-stop twenty minutes.

That didn't satisfy them.

They also said that I had said that I didn't walk as much in the winter.  That didn't mean I don't walk at all.  Most people unless they live in cities that take care of their sidewalks in general, and make sure that things are shoveled properly generally don't walk as much in the winter time.

Anyway, I think it's a bunch of bull, and I have no idea what to do now.

Thanks for listening.

Jenny
