Academic Plan
My academic plan is something that I¿¿ve had set in stone since I was 6 years old. I was going to major in Life Sciences, and get into medical school, and become a surgeon. However, going through the life impacting events that I have, I¿¿ve learned to rethink my plan. I think one of the major reasons I suffer from depression is because my plan that I¿¿ve had for my entire life is not panning out the way I¿¿ve hoped. As continuous discussions with my parents, I have decided that a lighter course load is what would be best for me. Whether it is 3 courses or 4, doing well in a small course load, rather than being overwhelmed with a full load is more beneficial. I would take 1 or 2 science courses, and the rest courses that I would be interested in learning more about. This way, as my doctor describes it, I would be learning different techniques in education coping. I will continue seeing my doctor here at home, and I have been for the past month and few weeks, as well as when I return to Kingston in the fall. I have already discussed the mental health programs that KGH has to offer with the doctors there, and will be starting them in September as soon as I hopefully return. My dream of being a medical professional, may be a bit blurry at this point, but I still plan to pursue it with all my heart and strength. I have extreme motivation, and heart and I still see myself on Convocation day holding my Degree, in my cap and gown in front of Grant Hall. Queen¿¿s is very near and dear to my heart, and I have never been prouder of something than just the accomplishment of getting the privilege to attend this school. I hope, To Whom It May Concern, that this letter provides you with a better understanding of myself. I am a bright student, and I hope Queen¿¿s will give me a chance to prove myself, and show what I have to offer. This school is a big part of me, and I know the way my brain is capable of working now, and as much as I hate it, I have to approach school is a less abrasive manner and do what works for me, instead of what everyone else is doing, and succeeding in.
