Petition Letter: Good afternoon.


I am Victor Reshetnikov. Im writing to you in regards to a late drop that I want to complete for HIST270. I have problems with completing tasks for courses due to my mental health. I was diagnosed with Anxiety and Depression by Dr. Boryns at LaSalle. I spoke to my therapist Meghan about these issues and she said she can help me out here providing proof of this.

Because I cant complete tasks for some courses, I am having troubles preparing for the exam and its giving me terrible anxiety, as I think I will fail and disappoint my parents. I understand this is super late but I have no other option but to drop it. I took this course as an elective and dont require it, if my mental health was not affecting my work I would obviously still be enrolled in this course but Im afraid I can no longer do that.

Even though I know the material kinda well, I just cant study for it, and my anxiety is really holding me bad. I am learning how to cope with it but so far its not been very helpful. I have this block infront of me and studying for this exam that my anxiety is causing and I really cant help with it.


I really hope you can see it from my perspective and help me out here. Thank you.
