Academic Plan
Academic Plan
I have given this plan great contemplation as my future academic success is solely based on what I do next. I was very tempted to state that I¿¿m now ready for the challenge and will take on a full load, but I¿¿m convinced this would not be the right action to take. I know that if I am focused, I can do this, but why try something that could be setting myself up for failure.
I¿¿ve sought advice from my family, a Queen¿¿s academic advisor and former tutors. Together we have come to the conclusion that starting back slowly would be the best course of action. Instead of letting my ego guide me, I should be guided by a true sense of what I am capable of right now. I am very steadfast in the belief that I have chosen the right degree path and I do not waver from that. My reason for an unsuccessful year was not that I couldn¿¿t handle the course load, but rather, personal problems would not let me focus on my work. To test myself and to stay on track, I am taking three Queen¿¿s online courses (Chemistry, Biology and Calculus) this summer and I am confident I will be completing these successfully. Being able to complete these courses on my own lays the groundwork for me to return to Queens and set myself back on course.
If I were allowed to return, I would take on a lighter course load, taking only three classes in the first term. This would ensure that I don¿¿t overwhelm myself. In addition to a lighter course load, receiving extra help from tutors would be very beneficial. I have contacted several individuals who offer university tutor at Queens and will be seeing them on a regular basis for as long as there is a need for extra help. In addition to the tutoring I will also seek out counseling from family and/or professionals. I am fully confident that by utilizing this plan, I can be successful in my studies. My family is planning to visit very regularly, and that support system will go a long way in keeping me on path.
Thank you for your consideration.
