Ad Hoc Ad Litem: CHAPTER 1 Conscious/ness is a product of decisive reasoning; a sound mind, and based on scientific averages, a standard knowledge of what is right and, what is wrong. 1] As a preteen from the California Bay Area for my high school years at our alma mater in Hawaii, five minutes into the first period, I'm called to the principal's office, where in so many words I'm told my high school experience ends now--there's more ... Unconscious/ness fundamentally is its raw elements, nonproductive, indecisive, and unreasonable; an unsound mind, and based on psychological averages, limited and below-limited knowledge of right and wrong, with a high propensity rate of changing, choosing the other being the better of the two. (NOTE: The preceding line is absent from the word 'between' right and wrong, which is the reason for the concluding line). 2] I'm told that the University and Community College have an open enrollment and these forms that we provided for you need to be filled out. Copies be made for Mom & Dad for their signature--ah, I almost forgot how old I am--hehe! When it tethers 'bias', conceptional perspectives of an entity that possesses sensing capabilities, a formulation of character based on individual preferences/perks. Conceptional bias expounds perspectives enabling the embellishment of individualities to entertain their preferences and act upon their perks. 3] I asked the principal for his phone to call my parents in California and he told me that I could make it direct, I thanked him and stated that it would be private. Unconscious bias alters perspectives and reverses its raw elements making it a product of decisive reasoning. It had awakened a dormant interest and merely accommodated its biased nature. A sleeper has awakened. 4] My friend does office errands at our school in California and she took a peek at my records saying they are quite high and that my parents claim it is the basis of your decision I am the 'sleeper' ... and the school failed to persuade me as my parents and I chose to stay and graduate a year later. If this is not acceptable by the Hawaii School System and nothing accommodating can be done, my parents want me back in California to finish my schooling. What accommodating? Ah, a suggestion by my father, who is the brainchild of my parents, and Mom is the master of that brainchild. CHAPTER 2 FOLLOWS
