Academic Plan
Future Plan:
Fortunately, the summer after my second year was a time of healing for me. I have re-introduced meditation and exercise into my life, and thankfully I can confidently say I have never been happier. Allowing myself to rest after a time of immense stress allowed me to slowly but surely improve my mental wellness, and I have even stopped taking antidepressant medication (under the recommendation of my physician). I know this section is supposed to be a plan for how I will prevent these circumstances in the future, but I am glad to say I believe I already have. This past year at Queen’s has been the best time of my life, and I have never been, happier, healthier, or more driven! I am taking additional courses this summer, including IDIS 199, ‘The Science of Mental Health’, and I am incredibly excited to start my fourth-year thesis with Dr. John Allingham next year. I had thrown myself into my academics last year and intend to do the same in this year coming. With my effort and lack of mental health issues, I am confident next year I will continue to perform well academically. Thank you for the time and effort and consideration of my academic petition.
All the best,
