I'm no longer a student at Full Sail University. It was not what I was expecting. I was not prepared to be treated the way I was. My recruiter did not tell me anything about having to speak in front of people. I ended up withdrawing from the school. I felt defeated and angry because I should have been told that I was expected to speak in front of people and that the entertainment industry was very different from novel writing and since I wanted to do that then maybe this was not the school for me.
it was painful to hear that from a TA. I made the right decision but was more angry that the recruiter was not honest with me about what was expected of me. I am not a strong speaker and I would have ended up flunking out of the school. I would have save time and money by not attending the school.
after many twists and turns, I am now paying for Straford career institute's course on creative writing. My student loans were forgiven, so I have decided no more schools that do not have what I need. I'm working with the elderly now and I still write . I am trying to be more consistent with my writing and building my skills has been a struggle but I refuse to quit.
