Petition Letter: Hi Officer,
This is Jiahui Zhu (Josephine), student number 20223936. I have an approval from LOP this summer for taking my three other courses at Athabasca University. Two of them (COMP210 and CLST 201) were open to learning before August, and HRMT208 was the last course that opened in August. I got good grades from the first two courses but failed on the last HRMT208 course. I would like to explain the reason and circumstance that cause the low mark of this course because I already spend money on this course and I do not want to waste that much of money since here is some circumstance. I had some bad nightmares and sleep paralysis during the end of July. Everyday I try to sleep, but almost every time I end up with paralysis, and that caused me a poor mental state and a loss of appetite in the beginning. After a few days, I broke up with my ex-bf since I disappointingly found that he has cheated on me several times when I think that was the best time of my life. This has doubted both myself and how I see people. Those two things that came up together have had a big affect on my physical and psychological health. My parents and friends took me out for fun, and I did not enjoy or feel happy. They also took me to the chaplain and psychiatric clinic to solve the problems. I appreciate what my parents and friends have done to make me happy, but in that period of time, I just don't feel anything. I felt sad or angry all the time and I do not like to talk or meet people, even its to talking eith my parents. I felt so unsure and not confident of myself when I go out, so I stay at home mainly. I eat less because I don't even feel hungry every day. I lost 8 kg that time, but now I am way better than that. I went through all that kind of negativity and have a course studying in August. I tried my best to complete every assignment that they handed and read the book that they sent me, but I did not get that much of a high grade. I asked two of my classmates, and they just passed the passing line of 40. This has shocked me because I never knew that these could affect my academic goals, and these psychological changes have affected me a lot, not even my study. After I received my grade for the final course, I felt so guilty that I did not sleep well or meet a person well and ended up having to pay the tuition and wasted the time. I was the problem, but my parents are still paying it for me. I realized that there must be something that our school can help with, so I contacted the Athabasca University and Queen's University to see if there is any help. I am petitioning our university to give me another chance to apply for an lop or ilop for this class or another course because my academic plan was planned well before this year and I wish there was no problem with it. I appreciate all the officers and staff from this faculty who have helped me, consider my request and understand my situation in this case.
Thank you again.

Academic Plan
Academic Plan: I am now in my 4th year of undergrad study at Queen's. I wrote my petition letter above, and here is my academic plan:
In my fourth year of study, I already aimed to focus on myself and be a good compliant of my fourth year courses. I calculated my needed courses and planned to take 4 courses each term, especially the last term since I am applying for a Master's degree at Smith School of Business at Queen's; Hokong University; York University; and Western University. During these times, I am also on the road of my internship and professional experiences to fulfill my goal and fill out my resume more perfectly. So the courses are set and well arranged ahead of the last term of the year. So I decided to take 3 courses at LOP this summer and taking a lighter course load this last year because I am giving space to my master's application and internship experiences. This plan is well concerned and well organized, and I already put the courses I need in the next school term. To achieve my goals. I need this petition to be done and be serious about any course I meet, even if it is from summer school. Also, the most important thing is to be in a good mental health state before doing and getting anything. Get help, ASK FOR HELP (don't be that quiet), and help others.
About my health concerns, I am better than this summer, and I am so glad that I got a dog to be company with me, and friends are giving me the support. My parents have contacted my chaplain to give me support every time I need it, and I have assistance at a psychiatric clinic. I thank them for giving me all the support to get me better and better.
I wish you consider or reconsider my petition letter and my academic plan. Thank you so much for your help and understanding!!
