Submit an Academic Petition or Appeal

Petition Letter: Dear Associate Dean.

My name is Ziming Shan, I am currently a student of queen¿¿s Art and Science faculty Computing Program. My student number is 10026465. The reason I am writing this letter is about appealing for I had been asked to withdraw for a minimum of three years.

I was informed that I could go to school under academic probation for the past school year. However, due to multiple reasons ,my performance at school is simply not good enough.so the reason I am writing this letter to explain my situations to you .

First, I want to confess that I had a terrible relationship which it lasts for a year and half. During this time I was seriously influenced. It has been a nightmare since then and I don¿¿t want to look back. The boy was enrolled in Queen¿¿s university Engineering program 2 years ago. That is the time when we started our relationship. Later, I was known that his infatuated obsession with computer games. He usually sleeps at 3-4 am and wake up around 2 pm. This sort of lifestyle gives me great amount of stress, my health, my academic marks all suffered drastically. It was really bad experience during this relationship but I don¿¿t want to talk too much about them in this letter. I sincerely hope you understand. Because of this, I found myself no longer handle the pressure, that I compelled myself to see a psychology therapy to seek professional assistance.
I broke up with him during 2014 summer, and I was planning to get myself back on track on 2014 fall. During the first semester which was the fall semester of 2014, I received a phone call from my mom that my dad¿¿s sickness had become worse. Everytime I think that I only have a few years with my beloved father, then I won¿¿t be able to control my feelings. My dad was diagnosed a tumor in his intestine a year ago, soon after it becomes cancer. My mom was planning to hide his sickness from me and continuously telling me he becomes better and better, but she cannot do this anymore because it has spread to his other organs. It was a shock to me; it feels like I have lost everything. I never thought about I may lose my beloved father during my 20¿¿s of age. I even blame to God for this unfair to me. After the break up with my ex-boyfriend I realized that I need to stand up on my feet and try to take responsibility of myself.
The house I rent during last fall semester was rented under the name of my ex-boyfriend. At first it did not come to my attention However later I found the place was a completely disaster. The place was extremely messy and some roommates I found very irritating and harassing. Which indirectly influence my study hours.
