Academic Plan
I have put much thought into the steps I would like to take to succeed and be able to continue my studies. As explained in the letter above, I have been in close contact and will continue to communicate with my primary care physician to help monitor and adjust medicinal solutions to my diagnosed learning/mental disorders. I have also started to see a psychotherapist once a week to aid me in coping with and keeping my anxiety under control. The medication along with weekly therapy appointments have been helping a great deal so far, as I have been able to work productively and feel a steady increase in my ability to do so. I am optimistic that the mixture of these treatments will allow me to perform in school the way I know I can.
I also now have the support and understanding of my parents which allowed me to open up a line of communication with them regarding my situation. I was always pushed by them to major in economics which was not the right path for me. I did not perform well in my classes and was unable to keep up with the math component which is one of the causes of my mental health spiral in the first place. I have decided to change my stream and I am very grateful and appreciative to now have the full support of my parents. I believe this change will allow me to thrive in classes that I am passionate about, allowing my academic performance to drastically improve. I wish to remain as a full time student and I plan to be in communication with academic advisors if I have any further questions to help me along the right path. I have already spoken to an advisor regarding this appeal, which I found very beneficial and I plan to speak to advisors more often in the future. I am also planning to use Queen¿¿s resources, such as applying for academic accommodation due to my ADD to hopefully amplify success in future classes.
My hope is that with all the measures I explained above, that I will be able to thrive and overcome the hardships I faced in the past. I am ready to take responsibility for my previous shortcomings and I would be extremely thankful for the opportunity to do so.
