The term “rising freshman” refers to a student who is enrolling in one of the NASA/MUSP schools for the first time in the upcoming fall as an undergraduate freshman. Usually, “rising freshmen” submit their applications during the end of their senior year in high school, or shortly after graduation from high school.
Then you wouldn't think me judgmental to be suspicious of ... hyphenated surnames? :-)
Yup, that’s it!
Now every future potential employer will Google this kid’s name when they are looking whether to hire him or not, and they will see this tripe. Not very smart.
Very dumb move...
FYI: Upon further investigation, it has been determined that Addison is (sort of) a female.
The kid only has two or three good points - He or she should have been told, at some point, what they would be earning. Also, if they asked for around 40 hours a week, they should have been given some estimate of actual hours they would be working (one of my friends was promised over 30 hours a week, got an average of 5-6 hours every two weeks, and is quitting that job, and rightfully so I believe) and turned down the job if it was not enough - six is far enough from 40 that either the employer didn’t give enough hours, or that he/she accepted a job with too few hours.
Incidentally, I do agree that it’s hard to find jobs. Out of 10 applications I turned in, one resulted in an interview but then I wasn’t hired, and one resulted in an interview where I was hired on the spot.
No, no, no. It's Viet Cong University, not to be confused with Over-Dose University.
I thought risible is a more accurate term -- "apt to excite laughter."
