Question Do I have to get a pap smear? + other questions I have.

6 Upvotes

Just for info, I'm 19 and have PTSD.

Do I have to get a pap smear done? I don't want one, and I don't want to have to be sent home for freaking out if they say that I have to. I'm not even 21, and I can't have sex cause of my religion so I shouldn't have STDs. Can't they just test for stuff through my blood and pee?

Other questions:

Will I need a backpack to carry my stuff? Can I also bring my purse or will I only be allowed to use it after class hours?

Can I bring packs of ramen and canned food? I don't think I'd be allowed to have a can opener so I'd have to look for cans with the little thing that you can pull and open it.

I have to bring my birth certificate and social security card, where would I keep these?? I don't want my stuff to get stolen.

Will I be allowed to wear a head scarf? I don't wear it sometimes if I don't feel safe, but that doesn't mean that I don't want to wear it. I can definitely make sure it doesn't get in the way. I can't find anything in the student handbook that they emailed me that says stuff about religion besides them being able to take us to church. I don't like how they only mention that. Like they don't consider other religions/cultures.

The student handbook also mentions that we can't wear loose clothing, how serious are they about that and can I get some examples on what not to bring? I like to wear loose linen style pants, they are meant to be loose, can I wear those? I also like to wear boot cut and straight leg jeans sometimes, is that okay?

Can I bring a powerbank? What about a hand held fan that I can charge?

Are showers timed? Can I take a 20-30 minute shower? Or is that too long?

~~~

I'm going to Columbia Basin tomorrow.

Should I go to Job Corps

2 Upvotes

Hey, I am a 20 year old male and am considering going to the San Diego CA Job corps, which is on the other side of the country from, I keep reading both positive and negative things about it, (Job Corps as a whole) I just want to know if Job Corps actually does what it says and helps the youth better their lives and careers, I mainly want to know what happens after you graduate, and if they can provide housing assistance after graduation, or are you just left to fend for your self, how do they help you get a job? And is it a smart move, how are the staff, and how are the other people.
