But Baodi? Baodi taught -- not just lectured. His teaching style actually made the concepts click in my brain like Tetris pieces. He broke things down in a way that made even the most intimidating material (I'm looking at you, Earned Value formulas) feel like common sense. But more than that, Baodi cared. When I was overwhelmed and freaking out over the test, he stayed behind after class just to encourage me, calmly talk me through it, and give me solid pointers. That's the kind of human he is. What really stuck with me during the exam (besides Baodi's voice in my head saying "READ. THE. QUESTION.") was when he told me: Remember your why. That moment hit me hard. My why? My husband. My kids. The people I love and the reason I push through the hard stuff. Thanks to Baodi, I passed the exam -- but more importantly, I've become a better project manager in real life. I'm not just applying what I learned to hypothetical case studies anymore. I'm making real decisions with confidence, clarity, and a little voice in the back of my head whispering, "What would Baodi do?" Thank you, Baodi. You didn't just help me pass a test -- you helped me grow. And that's the kind of impact that lasts. Ps. I'm sorry it took me so long to write this review!

I've been researching online and in-person foreign language learning for the past few months with…read morethe intention of starting by June this year. The first time I sent an inquiry, I got a brief response and an attached enrollment form. I sent a "reply all" follow-up email with a few more questions about the classes and so far, weeks later, out of all the recipients on that email, NO ONE has replied. Nobody. Here I am, wanting to learn, willing to pay (SEFLA is not cheap) and no one wants to answer or take my money! So, although I haven't actually attended any classes there, I don't see this behavior as being very professional, and I can't imagine them being any better if I were to hire them to teach me. In the meantime, I've found another language school in another state that gets great reviews for teaching languages virtually AND is cheaper.

While I already held several certifications, I was there to update and exceed my prior knowledge and abilities. I was offered the opportunity to update the very entry level certifications as I began my tenure. I was already preparing the mock-lecture I would need to submit as a teaching candidate. Then this opportunity was snatched away with the send-off that I was unqualified. When I inquired further, I was summarily dismissed and told to come back when I had completed the qualification. I later discovered, by speaking directly to the hire, that the job was given to a white student. I cordially asked him to share his experience. He detailed the exact certifications I was told I needed, and had held for years. Finally, I asked this man, fresh into the industry and confronting the certifications for the 1st time, if he already had his certifications. To which he replied that he was allowed to complete them after taking the job. Naturally I saved every record of this interaction. This company is a bullshit organization, which, in addition to apparently being populated by racists, has no problem failing its promises in supporting a student, contrary to what was stated as their supporting role in my education. Calls and emails that went unanswered for weeks, repeated inquiries left unresolved with no follow-up, people who support you leaving the company with no announcement or handoff of the students they support, and their issues, to other staff .... But if half of what's claimed in the self-congratulatory jerk-circle on LinkedIn is true, then one bad review shouldn't matter anyway. Clearly the possibility of a bad report was not of importance when I needed aid.

Sometimes I like to take a break from restaurant reviews and focus instead on lesser-discussed…read morebusinesses, landmarks, and organizations. For this review, I will not be documenting my experiences with the paranormal (yes, I talk to dead people) but instead reviewing my alma mater, Health Careers High School (HCHS), a magnet NISD school with an emphasis on the medical profession. The mission of HCHS is to prepare students for an occupation in the healthcare field as well as to strive for career and educational excellence. In addition to standard curriculum (math, social studies, etc.), students attend courses focused on medical topics such as medical surgical technology and dentistry. I say "standard" curriculum, but the courses are significantly more rigorous than ones offered at regular public schools; the staff treats students like mature, career-minded adults. The classes are also small (about twenty students per teacher), allowing for personalized, hands-on instruction and classroom discussions. I developed my passion for writing due in part to two English instructors. My sophomore English teacher allowed me to write a thirty-page biography of David Bowie, my all-time favorite performer. It was less a biography and more a discussion of the covert (and sometimes not-so-covert) Occult symbolism prevalent in Bowie's oeuvre, but my instructor considered it a "masterpiece" (her word) and shared it with the entire class. That same year, my creative writing instructor was enthusiastic about a story I wrote called "Don of the Dead," a droll, tongue-in-cheek pastiche of "The Godfather" and zombie movies. I cite these examples because I doubt most public school teachers would be receptive to such outre topics. The medical-focused courses are especially interesting. As a junior, I spent part of my day scrubbing soiled medical instruments in the decontamination unit of a nearby hospital. Picking off bits of bloody human sinew from scalpels and surgical drills might sound off-putting to some (well, most), but it was educational and appealed to my morbid curiosity. In my senior year, I qualified to assist in an open-heart surgery at the Audie Murphy VA Hospital. I was extremely nervous (and felt like Doogie Howser, M.D.), but it was an experience unique to HCHS and one I will never forget. Unfortunately, the acceptance policy has shifted from one based on merit (i.e, exemplary attendance and grades) to one based on a lottery. My concern is that the most qualified applicants might be overlooked, hence my four-star rating. Regardless, if your child has expressed an interest in the healthcare field, then encourage him or her to apply here. Even if your child ends up pursuing a career other than medicine (like I did), he or she will still benefit from a superior education.
