The Struggles To Get The Grades!

The family that helped me when I went to college in Bohol before I ventured here to Cebu City begged me to go to the school where he studied master's degree here in Cebu to pay his tuition fee and get his grades printed. Because he was asked for grades from the company HR for evaluation where he works.

I am happy because I now have a chance to return to them the kindness that they gave me before. But it still seems like nothing because they gave me a 500 pesos bribe.

Good thing that there are extra costs like printing the school requirements so that I can get the printed grades. It was expensive But I didn't tell them about the expenses for printing because they might suddenly send a cash again.

When kuya studied for his master's degree, it was still an online class because of the pandemic. Now that he will go to pay his last tuition fee and get his grades and the school requires him to come personally to the physical school, because they don't cater online anymore.

Because it's a hassle for him to come here to Cebu because he has worked and the fare is expensive, they begged me. I am happy to help and the trust, they have in me is priceless.

On January 31, 2023, I went to school to pay his tuition fee, I thought it would be that easy to get his grades after paying but it wasn't.

They needed an authorization letter, so I went home without getting the grades. I just told the teller that I will come back when I have the authorization letter.

I came back on February 2, 2023, with the authorization letter and other requirements they asked for. I wouldn't be able to get the grades again.

The teller said, ma'am, this is for requesting status to window 12, you need to make an appointment online because the priority number we give every day is only for 10 slots and the 10 slots are easily used up. We won't entertain walk-ins. Just scan the QR code there to make an online appointment.

They want me to return and make an online appointment, they said to scan the QR code on the window attached for the online appointment so that I can get the grades.

They should have said those instructions when I first went, right? , so that when I come back, I have an appointment so that I don't waste my time and fare, it's also difficult to travel with a baby.

I said I don't have internet access on my phone now, how can I scan for an online appointment. After that, I just show them a sad and tired face there and later they gave me a form to fill out and submit to window 12 so I could get the grades.

It's good that I still got it, maybe they felt sorry for me because I had a child with me. Besides, I was there last January 31. Mission accomplished!
