Petition Letter

Petition Letter: To whom it may concern,

My name is Caleb Rodrigo (20162140) I am a 3rd year BIOL major. Recently I have overcome an extremely hard point in my life because of COVID-19. The last couple months in particular have hit me very hard, and mentally I was not doing well. During the summer, I aim to seek professional help to further better myself as I still have a ways to go. This year has been very challenging as my mental health has dwindled. This semester has taken a toll on my motivation and drive to do school. I have spent many long conversations with my family back home and we believe that it is best to reduce how many classes I am taking this semester before exams.

I am writing this appeal for help to drop FILM 236: Media and cultural studies. Balancing mental health and work has become hard, especially recently. I aim to do better and to better myself. Having this class out of my schedule would help relieve stress and be my first step towards bettering myself. I have also enclosed a letter from my mother providing evidence and supporting the dropping of the class.


Thank you for your understanding.

I apologize for any inconvenience this may bring you.

Sincerely,

Caleb Rodrigo
