New Information: It was suggested that I include why I did not drop ANAT 315 by the 2019 Fall drop deadline.

This is my final year here at Queen's. If I wasn't so close to graduating I wouldn't be here. I am doing my best to get by considering the nature of my mother's passing. Should you have questions about that, I would be happy to speak about what my family has been through and the toll suicide takes on a family.

ANAT 315 is a class I need to graduate therefore, the last thing I wanted to do was drop it. I don't give up easily and I thought that I could be successful. Unfortunately, my mental health has made that very complicated for me. Our first assessment for ANAT 315 did not take place until October 29th meaning that we were well passed the drop deadline by the time marks were received. Once I began to receive marks, I spoke to my counsellor here at Queen's and we decided together that the best plan would be to keep trying. This would prevent me from having to take an extra semester and allow me to return home to my dad without having anything additional on my plate.

Should you take a look at my transcript you will see that in the rest of my classes I did very well as they were assignment based and did not rely on memorization. If you need confirmation of this I would be very happy to reach out to my professors in my other classes.

Thank you again for your time.
