I started Rma in nov of 93, transferred to HillTop in may of 95 and graduated CEDU in june of 96. I was there for the firing of many staff for many different reasons, and was at RMA for the suicide of a student. As to the rest of the Gossip that is being said.... Why are you searching for dirt that wasn't your own? I read this site, and it amazes me at how many of you prey on other people's misery.
Yes, there are many unfortunate things that happen in life. Yes, there are some really messed up people in this world. Yes, some of them worked as staff. But that isn't any different then the real world.... there are some that work in the public schools, in your place of work, who knows... maybe even in your house. It is what it is.
For myself, and my experience (which is my only aspect I should be speaking on, since that is the only experience that really is any of my business) is the experience that I created for myself. I wasn't well liked at RMA, because I was young, and did not always know how to handle people trying to be in my face, and had many issues, that I had never worked on... which were but not limited to everything from over exagerrating, to my temper, to my mother dying when I was a child in a tragic car accident on top of me.
None of this really matters now, because there is nothing that I can do to recreate that experience, and do over, even if I wanted to. The only thing that can be done now, is to create a new experience, and work towards having something more, then I did 10 years ago. It does amaze me some days that 10 years has gone by, and people are still complaining about the things they were complaining about then...
put yourself on a booth, do some writing asignments... hell, if you need direction, i am sure i have my 24 notebooks somewhere and can help... ok, that was a joke.... don't take it literal... but seriously... move on, be happy, and life your life.... you should be reconnecting with people that mean things to you, instead of bringing up the bad things that happenned, and bringing out the worst in people.
Life is about creation... Why don't we work on creating something different, and bringing happiness to each other.
