Academic Plan
Academic Plan
My goal at Queen¿¿s University is to achieve a degree in Environmental Science. I know it has been a slow process but I am determined to achieve this degree. This may mean not achieving an honors degree which I know is a risk. In order to achieve my goals I will continue taking the required courses, however, at a reduced course load. I understand that this will take time but I know it will be worth it. This year I am going to take the remaining second and third year courses that I need so in my fifth year I will be better prepared. In addition, I will begin taking advantage of the resources that Queens has to offer, like the Writing Center. If required, I plan on getting a tutor so that I can get help with any subjects I am struggling with. I will also take advantage of the TA¿¿s for my courses and contact them the second that I need help. Whenever I have a flare up with my anxiety I will go in and speak to Health Services as I now know that I do need help and I cannot just try harder. I need to figure out what services can help me and use them to my advantage. I also plan on speaking to the Undergraduate Office to see what I can do in my academic program. I am afraid of losing all of the courses I have completed by switching programs, but I believe they will be able to guide me in the right direction. When I first got the email it was a reality check. I was stressed upset and confused, but now reflecting I know that I can do this. I feel motivated and know that if I get the help and use the resources offered, I will be able to successfully complete my degree at Queen¿¿s. Queen¿¿s has become a part of me and I know that I am now, after years of struggling, in the right frame of mind to complete my degree and successfully graduate Queen¿¿s. Using my academic plan will be the start of what I believe will be a successful fourth year.
Thank you,
