Academic Plan
Academic Plan
I am currently a major in Philosophy and plan to pursue this degree plan during my upcoming years of study at Queen¿¿s. In order to ensure that I do not face continuing health issues, I have been seeing my family doctor back home in the Caribbean about my tonsils and sinuses. I will have my tonsils removed, in addition to having an Adenoidectomy procedure completed. This will ensure my health does not create a distraction for my academics any longer, and that I will be able to fully apply myself in my courses. Furthermore, living off campus after first year and having access to my own kitchen has made it significantly easier to maintain a healthy diet, which helps me avoid falling into the extremity of illness that has been previously experienced. For my future, I will be more mindful in the courses I choose, enrolling myself in those I know I am stronger in, and am passionate about. This includes History, English and Philosophy. Lastly, instead of facing difficult and stressful times alone, I recognize that going out of my comfort zone and taking advantage of the support provided for me at Queen¿¿s, specifically the Peer Academic Support Team, is extremely important for my mental health as well as my physical health. With all of these aspects in mind, I have, and am, continuing to ensure that I make the changes necessary to lead myself in a more positive direction for my academic success.
