Chapter 195 Entering the School
Good luck? Of course he was lucky. Being able to be reborn and have a family that loved him was already extremely lucky.
York watched the taxi go away and glanced at the watch on his wrist.
After all the busy work today, it’s already past four in the afternoon without me realizing it.
It seems that he can't pick up Tifa.
Thinking of this, Yorks looked at the decent-sized Shekeka College, took out his cell phone and sent a message to Tifa saying that he couldn't pick her up today, then picked up his backpack and walked towards this typical community college in the Free Country.
Community College is an important part of the education system in the United States, providing two-year primary higher education.
In essence, it looks similar to the junior colleges in China in the previous life, but in fact it is not the same, and is even far from it.
Both the courses and teaching objectives are different.
The most obvious difference is here. In the past, in China, upgrading from a junior college to a bachelor's degree required a strict examination, which was quite difficult.
But in free countries, students do not need to take exams when transferring from a two-year community college based on credits. Students can apply for transfer based on the credits they have earned at a two-year university. The credits they have earned from basic courses in the community college in the first two years of university (freshman and sophomore year) are recognized by four-year universities.
Not only that, after students from two-year community colleges transfer to four-year universities after their freshman and sophomore years, the diplomas they receive upon graduation are no different from those of graduates who directly attend four-year universities.
This gives students in the Free State a buffer period, allowing high school students with average academic performance to have the opportunity to enter prestigious universities through two years of hard work.
So in the free state, many students use two-year community colleges as a stepping stone to enter prestigious universities.
Many public figures and celebrities have transferred to higher education institutions through community colleges.
This is different from the associate degree to bachelor's degree program in China in the past.
Therefore, the scale of Xiekaika College in front of us is quite large. If you really want to compare it, it should be not much different from a high school.
York's gaze penetrated the fence of the academy and looked inside. The environment inside this Shekeka Academy was quite good.
Some students were walking in it, not conspicuous, and there were also students playing ball on the court outside.
Based on this alone, York can imagine the atmosphere of working here.
Looking ahead, I saw the entrance of Shekaika College about ten meters away. Some students were going in and out, but there were school police guarding it, so it looked pretty good.
In fact, these school police are also part of the police.
Here comes the point. Community colleges in free countries are mainly public. Simply put, they are funded by state or local governments.
So Shekeka College is a public college, so how can he get in and find Yonatan's office?
This naturally depends on one's own family connections and relationships. It's just a matter of a phone call. After all, the Sheffield family itself is a big spider, and its network of relationships extends beyond the Los Angeles Police Department, and the city government also has many connections.
Yorks knew that the Sheffield family played a role in the current mayor's appointment.
Arriving at the entrance of Shekaika College, under the scrutiny of the school police, Yorks took out his cell phone and made a call that someone had given him.
"Hello? Who is it?"
"Hello, are you Mr. Oliver? I'm Juses, introduced by Gnaji." York said.
"Ah, is it Jusis? Mr. Gnaggi has already told me where you are now?"
The voice on the phone revealed a hint of enthusiasm, which was a far cry from the indifference of the first sentence.
York smiled and said, "I'm at the door now."
"OK, wait for me."
After hearing the reply, York hung up the phone. Actually, you can walk in. As long as you don't do anything strange, the campus police will not restrict you. After all, the age range of students in community colleges is quite diverse, from teenagers to over sixty years old.
But instead of going in to look for it yourself, it’s better to have someone take you in.
So after Yorks finished the call, he stood at the entrance and waited. Not long after, a middle-aged white man with a big belly appeared on the school road in front of him.
Looking at him wearing glasses and the imposing manner as he walked over, it was obvious that he was Oliver who had just called.
Oliver is the vice-president of Shekeka College, and he was an applicant for teaching who was introduced by someone.
Genaghi is a director in the education administration department of the city of Los Angeles.
Responsible for the formulation and implementation of overall education policies, including the management and supervision of community colleges, ensuring that community colleges comply with state and federal education laws and regulations, while promoting the rational allocation of educational resources and quality improvement.
He happens to be in charge of this field.
He had been busy for two hours, all of which were spent on this kind of thing. Originally, he was just preparing some ultra-high-definition hidden camera equipment at home, ready to follow Jonathan, but after a call from Chris, he changed the plan.
"Hello, is this Eusis?" Oliver walked over and stopped in front of Yorks, showing a friendly smile and extending his hand.
York nodded, smiled politely, and reached out to hold Oliver's big hand.
"Yes, Mr. Oliver."
"Come with me." Oliver said with a smile and pointed inside.
"Okay." Yorks followed obediently.
"I heard you have a degree in psychology?" Oliver asked.
"Yes." York nodded.
Oliver expressed his satisfaction: "Yes, Mr. Genaji's introduction is really timely. Our Shekeka College is looking to recruit teachers who can teach educational psychology.
How about this, we can sign the contract now and you can come to work tomorrow."
Oliver's decisive decision to skip the interview made York feel a little embarrassed, after all, he was just a fake.
"Aren't we interviewing anymore, Mr. Oliver?"
Oliver said enthusiastically: "I believe Mr. Genaji. Since he said you are good, I believe you must be a capable person. I can't let such a talent go."
York shook his head and looked around Shekaika College: "Can you show me around first, Mr. Oliver?"
Oliver instinctively felt something strange, but he still nodded enthusiastically: "Okay."
Yorks looked indifferent. In the end, all he had to do was let Tifa find a colleague or friend who wanted to teach students.
So, under the guidance of the vice-president of Shekaika College, Yorks began to visit this college of considerable size.
Until Oliver led him to the academic affairs area and faced a large sign hanging in the corridor.
York looked at Jonathan, who was smiling on the sign, and said with a smile, "Mr. Oliver, I seem to see someone I know."
This is much better than going to find Jonathan's office by yourself.
