Petition Letter: I am looking to drop socy 235 due to mental health challenges i have been dealing with. covid-19 has changed the way we learn and live and has been a very hard time for us all. in dealing with this my mental health has been slipping and i feel i am falling into a sate of depression. i feel it is in my best intrest to be removed from socy 235 as it is an extra stress i cant bring myself to work on. geting up, going outside and enjoying life have been a strugle and this is an added weight. i have three other course i feel i can manage to continue with and i feel that if i invest in my mental health now i can continue to work on my academic career now and in the future. i feel that with the year we have all gone through these events are expected and it is better to drop one class now to help me then for a future me to break down further and drop out of university all together. i hope you allow me to drop this class so i can lose some weight on my shoulders and improve my academic standing in the long run.
