wcc 50 years ago today, august 26, 1974 threw won students eyeballs...

 

KDEN FOA 

da instructors… 

wat maid windward windward was dat da main ingredients dat 99% of the instructors and admin had was heart and compassion...they truly cared for the students and wanted them to learn and succeed vs. failing them to put um in their place...they’d hold ur hand til they thought u was ready tu fly and then they’d send u off too the wolves and most of us survived and thrived at uhm, chaminade, byu, hawaii pacific and for me, i survived uhm and THE ohio state university...classes was same same hardness at wcc at uhm at osu undergrad (grad summa cum laude, phi kappa phi) and at osu grad school...all eva needed to know, learned at wcc---how take notes, speed reed, write essays, how for study fore and take essay testses or multiple choice testsess (moa like learn how foa cram um), time management (no work so good if go student activity center especially afta you stay prokrasteenait 14 weeks), how study with sq3r method, and many other people skills that got me thru an aa, bs in ed, 200+ page masta thesis, and ma in ed...okage sama de – I am what i am now because of all the help i received from all the caring and compassionate instructors and staff and admin at wcc...mahalos big time... 

norma higa - she da main reason i got better at school...she called me into office after first econ test and was won writing kine test…so now wat u tinking cuz u won local kid who liked and still likes sitting in the back of the class, neva did and still no like ask questions in groups, and never went to the teacher for help cuz they only stay for rip u won knew won…anyways, ended up good ting went cuz she said u stay get good ideas but no can write for jack...she bin call writing lab right den and there and sent me to jean akagi for help...still neva wrote good way for rest of her class testses but got an a cuz she understood um or mayb gave a for effort?...

LESSON #1: A few kind words and taking a few minutes to help can make a big difference for won nobody. 

ron loo was hea but knew him more for his music and teaching hper tennis then philosophy so took lecturer gaylin williamson for phil 100 and only remember when i leave da room, is it still there, the end justifies the means, keep your friends close and your enemies closer...and den took her for logic phil 210 tu and da bestest line of questioning – try answer yes or no, is dis da first time you bin pregnant? or bin steal? or bin smoke? etc....

kent robertson, rel 150 world’s major religions...learned about christians, muslims, buddhist...remember jewish the mostest cuz had to give a group presentation on jewish bar mitzvah and for my part had to memorize “baruch atah adonai, eloheinu melech ha-olam”...blew people away at ohio state and to this day say wen by jewish and they look at me all surprised...yup, who said only learn for test – wcc rel 150 still going strong 50 years later... 

pau and tu b continued anada time bumbye…
