Petition Letter: Dear Committee
My name is Sijun Wang and I am enrolled in ECON320 this semester, but due to some personal mental health issues that I have had since 2020, I often have trouble concentrating on my studies even though I try to focus on the course, and I also have problems with insomnia, emotional breakdowns, drowsiness, and uncontrollable body shaking. The class usually meets on Monday mornings, and my insomnia due to mental health issues prevented me from concentrating in class. Unfortunately, I have been trying to learn the class all semester, but I am still not able to participate well in the class. Now I realized that I should have communicated with the professor and explained my problem, but my mental state during that time made me reluctant to communicate with others and I missed the best time to solve my problem. I am sorry that I apply to drop this class now, but I have already made an appointment with a psychologist for next month online and am willing to take the treatment.I plan to re-enrol this class in a later semester. I am sorry to bother you for my personal reasons, thank you for considering this appeal.
Sincerely,
Sijun
