Petition Letter
I must admit I have had a very tumultuous time over the last year, and my grades have suffered because of it, I'd like to be transparent and explain my circumstances in hopes of shedding some light on how they have affected my overall academic performance and life in general.
Over the last two years I have experienced drastic mental health and family issues. I have been diagnosed with social anxiety and depression and have been put on several antidepressants that have not seemed to work. My suicidal ideation spiked over the year, I have responded vigilantly by visiting KGH but would instead be stuck in the waiting room for hours. I developed an eating disorder during my first year, which I have since taken care of however, In 2016 I received a liver transplant which makes visiting clinics and hospitals difficult because I end up having to stay longer for testing and having to come for follow ups often. Despite this, I have tried to remain on top of my work and deadlines but have had difficulty over the year.
My first year of studies was very stressful and difficult to manage on top of trying to deal with my overall health. I believe I can do better in these classes in the future if given the opportunity.
