Academic Plan
My plan moving forward has multiple elements. Firstly, I am planning to appeal to have the courses I¿¿ve failed over the years dropped. If those courses are removed from my transcript then my GPA will rise. Secondly, I am now planning to pursue a general degree in Global Development studies. This means that I have less courses to complete and I no longer need to fulfill the requirements of a history medial, making the completion of my studies much more manageable and realistic. As it stands, after my summer semester, I will only have 9.0 credits to complete which puts me well on track to graduate in Spring 2019. In addition to this, I will be asking my professors if it is possible for me to now finish the work of DEVS 240 and HIST 252 of Winter 2018 as I did do some of the coursework already. If this is granted, I would only have 3.0 credits to complete in the fall. Thirdly, I am now living at home where I can have regular help from family in managing my depression and consistent therapy and medication. This will provide me with stability so that I can focus on my studies and manage my time more effectively. It is really important to my ability to plan for my future that I do not have to wait an entire year to finish 1-3 courses in order to complete my general BA degree.
