Submit an Academic Petition or Appeal

Petition Letter: Dear Sir/Madam,

My name is Youssef Taher, a first-year student at Queens University. I am writing to you as regards my current and past medical condition which constrained me markedly during the last couple of years. I just came out of the hospital (KGH) after being admitted for a period of about 4 weeks struggling with my medical condition and was discharged with a close follow up for the seriousness of my medical condition. I am also on a strong continuous medical treatment which may continue long term or for the rest of my life. I have received a letter from the KGH explaining my medical condition and I can bring any other documents for my case if you want me to bring that too.

I wanted to share my reflections on the past two years of my academic journey. Despite my best efforts to keep up with my peers and establish good study habits, I've faced challenges in fully tapping into my potential. Staying focused and disciplined has been a struggle. Looking back, I see these two years as a time of growth. I've learned from setbacks and transformed them into opportunities. This has ignited a genuine desire to return to my studies, focusing on subjects that truly captivate my interest.

Admittingly, I used to pick courses on a whim, just to say I did. Now, my intention is to approach education differently. I'm aiming for a path that aligns with my professional goals and brings fulfillment. By doing this, I believe I'll shed stress and the weight of past choices. Choosing a career deserves careful consideration. Impulsive decisions can lead to long-term dissatisfaction and stress. I'm committed to a more thoughtful approach, steering clear of last-minute choices and embracing a deliberate journey toward a rewarding future.

I apologize for not living up to my potential in the past and am eager to show how I've evolved. This appeal is a plea for a chance to demonstrate my growth. I'm confident that with this opportunity, I can become a confident student, ready to tackle challenges and contribute positively. Education is a cornerstone of progress, shaping a fulfilling life. I see this fresh start as a turning point. With determination, I believe I can channel newfound discipline into meaningful change.

In closing, I humbly ask for a reevaluation of my academic status and hope for a chance to showcase my renewed commitment. Your favorable response would mean a lot, paving the way for a thoughtful and well-deserved future.

Thank you for your time
