Petition Letter
I am appealing to change STAT 351 (Fall ,2018) STAT462 (Fall, 2018) to Credit Standing and to drop STAT 269 (Winter, 2019) STAT 353 (Winter, 2019) MATH281 (Winter, 2019).
This is student Youxi Qian. My physical health condition became bad and I realized it in 2018 November, I went to hospital for times and then took a surgery at Kingston general hospital on 2018 December 4th. After the surgery it took me really long time to recover, I lost weight to 40kg with terrible stomachache all the time. Afterward what cause me crazy was the depressive disorder, I suffered from the mental illness for a year since the surgery have done. At first, I didn't notice how my mental and physical illness will going to affect the school works. With the time pass by, the depression causing me had difficulty to remember stuff and to read and focus. I cried every day for months because of the guilt inside my heart after what is happened on me and cause my two eyes got dermatitis. My mood was too down at that time to care of any of things around me. The first time I tried to find help from student wellness center was in 2018 December, I worked on the problem with Dr. Arunima. But afterward because I was full of guilt and anger inside my heart, I stop to meet with Arunima after January 2019. The intrigue from myself to finally have courage to find help was I got terrible kidney infection with hematuria in 2019 September. I started to meet Arunima and the mental doctor after that and started to take periodic mental medicine.
I tried to defer the exam from 2019 winter term but professor didn't notice how bad my situation was and didn't give me enough time to recover from both mental and physical way. Meanwhile I feel too afraid to find help from no matter the art and science department or from student wellness center. And I didn't notice for international student I can take lighter courses for full time study, I thought we are required to take at least three courses. I went through a really hard semester last winter, and I was too depressed to either focus on school works or to return to normal life, that is the reason why I need to appeal for these courses. I will finish one course math281 this semester, and I will try all the best to work hard. I will finish another two courses stat269 and stat 353 in 2020 winter term. For the two courses I would like to change to credit standing was the semester while my physical health became worse and I really didn't have much energy to finish the school works. This situation won't happened again.
My circumstances are now being managed in a proper way that I am able to study well again. Now I have better control of myself which I study hard and go to see Dr. Arunima every week and mental doctor every month. Professor can tell from my transcript from previous semester that I try hard to make my life back to normal and recovery from the crisis happened in my life. For the future, I am going to take a lighter course load and to change program from Medial Arts in Economics and Statistics to Medial Arts in Economics and Mathematics, so that I can success in my future studies. I really need the chance to prove myself and I really need this opportunity.
It is really important for me and I won't make the same mistake in my future studies.
