MonkeyMan business #2: UNIS (part 2)

Hello part timers! After lugging heavy boxes of books and making photocopies for the teachers at UNIS, I have been working as an assistant for the admissions office.
The race for parents to get their children into private schools in New York City is quite astounding. Some send huge portfolios of every achievement their child has ever done, a portfolio larger than you would have to do when applying for college! I mean your 4 year old can only do so much. Plus, sometimes you have to remember that someone is on the other end and has to read it all. Parents, simplicity goes a long way here.


UNIS has a very particular program and it is definitely not a school for everyone, yet most people fall in love with it because of its peace and sharing philosophy. The most importnat thing to remember is that your children have to be in an envirnoment where they feel comfortable while also challenging them.
My MonkeyMan hands have been typing up labels on a typewriters (old school style) in order place different applications in their respective color folders. Then, I also learned how to manage the school's general computer system in order to enter all of their data so they can be considered as a potential student.
