Hi everyone,
I lived in south america for the majority of my highschool education. After graduating from a small school over there, and attempting college in spanish, I came back to the US to go to college here.
I graduated about 6 years ago, and I've been enrolled in two different colleges here in the US in the last 3 years. I brought my official transcript from south america here with no problem at all. It is stamped and signed by the various notaries required and is from the ministry of education down there.
However, my step father and my mother are going through an ugly divorce and he threatened, over the phone, that he would "contact" someone he knows to "dispose" of all evidence of my education in the school. Then he would anonymously proceed to inform my college here in the US that they should "look into it". He's a vindictive man, and people working in a third world country barely making 300 dollars a month might be tempted to fulfill such a shady proposition.
My question is, if he does this, what can happen to me? I would notify the school, but if its already done I'm terrified. Other than getting my GED and hoping for the best.... I dont know what to do. My education is one of the most important things to me and my step father knows this and is taking advantage of the situation.
Thanks!
Samantha
