Petition Letter

Petition Letter: To whom it may concern:
Hope this letter finds you well.
I am Lingjie Kong with student number 20260304, I am writing this letter because I want to drop these classes that I listed on the pervious step. The reason for me to do this is that since March this year, I have been unable to complete my work well, but at that time I don't know what should I do to solve this problem until April 28th, which was the first time that I met Mrs. Allison, I tried to tell her about the emotions that made me down, she always kept patient to me and gave me some suggestions. After that talk, I tried to pull myself back on track but unfortunately I failed. So on the 26th of May, we met again, this time we talked about my emotions again while also talked about dropping class for the first time. She suggested me to contact QSAS as well, so on the 15th of June, I met with the QSAS advisor Mrs. Caroline and register with QSAS. After, I told my professors for the winter term that I want extensions for all the work that I haven't finished, they agreed. But after that, my emotion problems started getting worse and worse. Whenever I want to start working, I feel very anxious. Especially when I start thinking about how much work I have left, my heart starts racing, and there's an inexplicable pressure that makes it hard to breathe. I started to become confused, sometimes I can sleep for a long time, but sometimes I can not sleep all night. As a result, I didn't finish any course well. This mood has continued on and off until now, including this summer term and the recent term. I saw Mrs. Caroline and Allison several times during this long time and discussed about dropping classes and finishing work with them. But I haven't dared to submit one form about dropping classes just like this one, as I even don't have courage to check my mailbox for a long time. I really don't know how to explain to my professors or the school why I haven't been able to do even one course well for almost a year. I don't know how to describe it, until several days ago I finally chose to talk about this whole thing with my family. After the talk, I realized that maybe the problem is I am not fit to pursue the major that I am in right now anymore. I may need to reboot my studies by choosing a major that I'm more interested in and better at, so that I won't become too anxious and then result in can't study any course because I can't really understand the knowledge that I am not good at. So I called the academic advisor several days ago to find out what I want to major in, and right now I have made a decision on that.That's why I have this term's classes listed on the pervious page. I want to beg you about helping me drop these classes, because if these courses kept remain on the report card will make me feel like I have something left, and that will make me feel anxious again. I don't want to be affected by this kind of emotion again during the next winter term. I want to start my new field of study with a new and relaxed emotion. Please help me... All in all, this is my request, thank you for the patience and help.
Best,
Lingjie
