Gulf Coast State College — Local services in Panama City

First off I would like to say that all the professors or instructors that I had the pleasure of dealing with were phenomenal! To name a few: Chef Ashman, Mr. Butler, Mrs. Barnett, Mrs. Boyd, Mrs. Hobbs, Mrs, Hudson, there was also an art instructor as well as a business instructor, a music instructor, a psychology and a micro computer instructor that deserves recognition but they are no longer on the employee list. I give a standing ovation to each and everyone of you for having the understanding and sympathy for not only for their teaching skills but for my chaotic life as it was back then. Computer class will always stand out because she allowed me to bring in my son when I had to take the final and she gave him crayons and paper so I could succeed in not only the class but in life in general. Again thank you all for the phenomenal hospitality that you gave when you didn’t have too! Back in 2014 my mother passed away unexpectedly and unfortunately I did not have the willpower to stay in school as I should have but we cannot change the past! We can only make the best of the future and with that being said I am doing just that. My Apple ID recovery email was my school email and they have perched my email so I have no access to it. I cannot recover my Apple ID without the access to that email. We are talking around 23 years of having the same Apple ID so everything from documents, tax records, pictures of my children, of my deceased mother, all the school work records etc.... is attached to that Apple ID and to the Gulf Coast State College email! I understand that you must do something with the email but at least have an option where if a problem like this occurs we can get into that email. My entire life is on that Apple ID and I am hoping the gulf coast figures out a way for me to be able to retrieve it. Students please be aware that gulf coast state college emails are not yours! They will block you from accessing the email! Do not use it as a recovery email because I just saw the press of a button your life is gone Do not use it as a recovery email because just by the press of a button your memories are gone. The only thing that I have to remember my mother is her urn with her ashes in it. I wanted my children to know what their grandmother look like and so forth but thanks to gulf coast state college they will...

Hey, what can I say? Ya boy got his degree, can I get a word for the Lord?

I submitted my info to the school for a certification I was interested in getting. I was contacted by a company that GCSC outsources this to called CareerStep. (Don't worry they are getting this same review) The Careerstep employee Eric, was pressuring me to sign a loan without even telling me the amount of the monthly payments. After I had told him I wasn't sure about my financial situation to do that, he basically used my dreams of changing my career against me. He was very forward about things that I didn't feel comfortable with and texted me over 5 times after I had said I was no longer interested to the point I had to block his number and block them via email as well, because I was receiving numerous emails from them. It was ridiculous and this is how people get roped into student loans they can't pay at a young age do to pressure tactics like this. I was really disappointed that GCSC even use these people to help their students. I will be looking elsewhere to further...
