Petition Letter

Petition Letter: Hi there,

My name is Youssef Taher, I have a history with this school and I recently just got sanctioned for cheating a small 1%.

This was from Chrstiopher Ward, and I have reasons why I think this is completely unfair.

1. I??m not an average student, the average student is actually able to stay awake during the day without a blinding illness that prevents them from enjoying anything in life.

2. I have lived with this illness for an entire year, with the off chance that maybe just maybe i??ll be able to get better.

3. Me and Mr Ward??s conversation sounded like it was going my way, he looked like he was going to let me off for this action, told me worst case scenario I??d receive a 0 on the exam, I gave him my medical letter, consider i??m not just some random
student who did this and is pleading to get away with it, if I was some random
student who cheated like this who??s actually completely healthy, then I can see how this sort of punishment is worth it, instead I am a
student with an entire history and medical notes that I finally recently got as a miracle because I got to speak to a doctor other than my family doctor and they gave me documentation.

His decision was completely unfair in my opinion, I beg you all to check the cameras even, even if you do, i??m not the average student trying to get away, I??m literally trying to keep my head above water. I??ve yet to even tell my parents about this and I don??t even know how I??m going to do that.

Academic Plan

Academic Plan: I will never cheat again, Mr. Ward knows this, He seemed completely nice on the video chat like ??ok ok i know your going through a rough patch? only for me to get the most grim punishment possible

New Information: I would like to request to receive back 10%. I received a 20/30 on this exam. I just got 20% erased, I am adding on to say I believe that 10/30 is more than fair, this is considering: health, last years sanction was I had even worse health, this being a completely uncalled for sanction, and the fact that I will probably leave the school because of Chris??s decision.
