Asperger’s Syndrome: D.L. Hughley Shares Story About His Son

May 1, 2015 by Professor John P. J. Zajaros, Sr. 1 Comment

D.L. Hughley shares his son’s story on “Oprah: Where are they now?”

I love my Asperger’s students!

Like everyone living and everything in life, Asperger’s kids are individuals: unique, wonderful, expressive, sensitive, and human. What a wonderful moment: powerful, touching, and so very honest.

Bravo!

This is inexcusable & must end—now. There is no place for racism and/or scapegoating of any kind. To come to a better understanding, I recommend The Origin of Others by Toni Morrison.Racism is a four-letter word, and there is no room for it in our lexicon.Professor Z440-821-7018 (mobile) ...

A frightening wave of attacks has Asian communities on edge. But I experienced street harassment long before the pandemic.

I often warn my College Admissions Program students about the risks of sharing and posting on social media. My grandfather once told me that I should never say or do anything I wouldn’t do if he were standing right behind me.In this day & age, the same holds true for social media, as social media has become a “wild card” in the college admissions process. I’m sure my grandfather would agree.Here is a portion of the Kaplan study shared below:“The survey results come on the heels of teens increasingly using newer social platforms like TikTok, which recently surpassed Instagram as teenagers’ second favorite social media app; SnapChat remains number one. “Among other survey findings:“The survey found that 36 percent of admissions officers polled visit applicants’ social media profiles like Facebook, TiKTok, and Instagram to learn more about them⁠—holding steady from Kaplan’s 2019 survey, but up significantly from 25 percent in Kaplan’s 2018 survey.“Of admissions officers who have checked out an applicant’s social media footprint, about 17 percent say they do it “often,” about the same as in 2019’s survey, but significantly higher than the 11 percent in Kaplan’s 2015 survey.“Of the admissions officers who say they check social media, 42 percent say that what they found has had a positive impact on prospective students, up from 38 percent in 2019. On the flip side, 58 percent say that what they found had a negative impact, up significantly from 32 percent in 2019.”Imagine the Director of Admissions is following every post, tweet, video, etc. Don’t be paranoid about it, but don’t be careless, either.Professor ZWestside Tutoring & Testing Services440-821-7018 (mobile) ...

How cool is this Rocky River High School? @RRHSPirates’ AP US History teacher Sara Ziemnik—the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History’s 2017 National History Teacher of the Year—is teaching a course to review the first 6 periods of APUSH coursework. This is an online course that is open to anyone. The course was recorded in October & November of 2020 and looks to be a first-rate course taught by one of the country’s best high school history teachers. If you are taking APUSH this year or plan to take it next year, this looks like it will be time well-spent!Check it out at https://www.gilderlehrman.org/programs-and-events/ap-united-states-history-test-prep-1492-1898Professor Z440-821-7018 (mobile) ...

Congratulations to Westside Tutoring & Testing Services ACT Preparation Course student Evan W! When Evan started with WTTS, he had a 22 ACT Composite. Evan wants to attend Georgetown, Boston College, or Northwestern, but he struggled with standardized tests.Evan has a superior GPA(4.4 cumulative), but he felt he needed a higher ACT to be competitive. While many colleges and universities have stated that they are “test optional” this year, Evan knew that with a combination of a 4.4 GPA (or better), a 98-99th percentile ACT Composite, a first-rate essay, excellent letters of recommendation, and a number of extracurricular and co-curricular activities that he would have a real shot at one of his “dream schools.”Well, Evan did it! Evan earned a 35 ACT Composite on the December 12, 2020 ACT.English 36Mathematics 34Critical Reading 34Science Reasoning 36Writing 11 (out of 12)I couldn’t be prouder of Evan and Nicole and Sophia and Will and Sam and Conor and Samantha and Zach and Lindsey and Sylvia and Maya and all of the Westside Tutoring & Testing Services ACT Preparation Course students who have worked through one of the most difficult periods in US history and finished the WTTS ACT Preparation Course with superior scores. Ultimately, every student is a winner, whether his or her scores went up by 2-4-6 points or 8-10-12 (or 13!) points.You are all winners, and I couldn’t be prouder of each and every one of you. If you need anything, just ask. You are all part of The Westside Tutoring & Testing Services Family!Professor Z440-821-7018 (mobile)BTW, Westside Tutoring & Testing Services has a new group currently working their way through the ACT Preparation Course, and I can’t wait to see what their scores on the February (national), February/March (school exams), April (TIR), and June (TIR) ACTs.

The SAT Subject Tests have been fading for some time. Ironically, the Essay section of the SAT was added a few years ago at the insistence of the State of California. California threatened to drop the SAT if the CollegeBoard didn’t add the essay. Interestingly, the CollegeBoard also completely revamped the SAT in 2012 after the ACT moved into first place for the first time.I recommend the ACT to all of my students. The ACT is a fairer, less “ambiguous” exam. Additionally, the WTTS ACT Preparation Course will serve our students over the course of the remainder of their high school years and throughout their college experience. If you are interested in discussing the differences between the ACT & SAT, and why we recommend the ACT, give Professor Z a call at 440-821-7018 (mobile) for a free consultation and assessment. ...
