Petition Letter
Dear Associate Dean to Studies,
I am appealing the Faculty¿¿s decision that I must withdraw from Queen¿¿s for one year.
I have to admit that everything leading to today¿¿s situation is self blame, while I do have some reasons that sounds excusable to express. First of all, there was heavily increasing conflicts between my roommate and me. At the beginning of the year, we got along well with each other. In the Autumn term, I saw her rarely in the room so there was no problems to be seen. In the Winter term, she brought her boyfriend into the room and slept with him at any time which offended my personal privacy. I talked to her about this thing several times and she promised to change, while she still slept with her boyfriend. Thus, I went to knock the don¿¿s room for seeking help but it seemed that the don was not there every time I went to there. I was thinking about change my room, but I was concerning that if I meet the one who would be worse than my roommate the room change would be meaningless and all my friends were living in the same building with me. The second reason was the weather. I was doing fine in the Autumn term but my grades were poor in the Winter term. I was an International student and in the past time I was living in the warm place. Even I prepared well for the weather but my body cannot handle this. Therefore I was sick every time when my period came, like having a cold, fever, diarrhea. Moreover, this was the first time that I left my home for 8 months. My homesickness resulted in that I was debilitated than any other time. And so, I heavily fell behind the study schedule and it rose difficulty in catching up because of the sickness.
In this academic year, there would be no problems for I have solved all my problems. For the residence, I will live with my friend who I met in the frosh week. For the weather, my body has experienced the weather in Kingston, it make my body unbreakable. I state that I am not that kind of who have sensitive and weak body for I am merely ill no more than two times in the past three years and these two times only happened when I was traveling to different places.
For the person who is reading my appeal, I respectfully and genuinely expect that my appeal is granted.
All the best.
Sincerely,
XiaoyanLiu
