I feel extremely unwelcomed in my tax class.
Because I have Multiple Sclerosis and had a major attack while attending college, I had to take a tax course through another place outside of college to get my licence in time.
In the class I am doing rather well but I often find myself behind because it appears to me that I am not encouraged to ask for help or even feel welcome in the class. It's not just me but I have talked to two others and they feel the same in the class. When I do find the courage and ask I am told it's extremely off basis and has nothing to do with the class even knowing I was reading that very chapter later and my answer was right there.
There are a few that get alone with this teacher, one is a close friend of her daughter I think and a few others but I am clearly not on this list. I stopped being myself even and have fallen behind because I could really use the help and help isn't easily there.
I am easily the youngest in this mostly older adult class except for the teacher's friend and I must be one of the only few that actually gives a damn about taxes and knowing how to do them right.
-------------------
My absolute biggest problem is that I am breaking my old image of myself to be in this class and I am finding it harder and harder to not speak my mind. I have become timid instead of assertive and I leave feeling like a coward or weak.
This saddens me to the point of both anger and desperation as I truly don't like going to class and I have started to hate the work because I don't quite get it but I'm desperate as this class will help me get a job with the company if I pass it well, I just need to pass.
I could really use some advice, even if its inapropriate so I can at least laugh. However, I will cut you off from having sex with the teacher as her goats probably does that for her. (Sorry, I had to laugh after leaving class today and being chewed out over being sick and still coming to class.)
