Petition Letter
Ever since the end of high school, I have been fighting an addictive personality trait. More specifically it got me into an addictive behaviour to video games. I would not finish my work on time, I wouldn't sleep or eat properly and my academics decreased significantly I couldn't help myself, I was so lost and it almost felt like I had just given up on my academic path and career. I was at an all time low in my life and my university plan was suffering because of it. The courses I didn't want to enjoy I completely neglected. The only one I did enjoy was PSYC100 and I at least got enough work done in that course to finish with a C, all my other courses were either D's or an F in the case of MATH 121. I didn't seek professional help on this issue until being at risk of failing BCHM 218 in my second year. I have provided a note from my therapist to confirm when I started to seek aid to fix my problem. I am extremely grateful that I did and have been able to try and get my academic career back on track. I have been proud of myself to get where I am now from where I was a year ago. After many sessions with my therapist I was able to counter my addictive tendencies and focus on what I needed to in my, even outside of my courses. This way I could lead a much healthier and enjoyable life.
