Academic Plan
Future plan
Before coming to Canada, I was determined to study hard and not disappoint my family. However, due to the influence of special circumstances, I was unable to focus on my studies. Nevertheless, now that everything has unfolded and I cannot change past events, I can still decide and work hard for my future. Therefore, I will not give up on myself. Starting from the end of April, I made efforts to adjust my state and have seen some improvements.
My plan consists of three parts: psychological treatment, study plan, and others. The failure and low grades in the courses are caused by special events. Therefore, I need to have professional psychological treatment to help me. Firstly, I sought online psychological treatment in China and have been involved in some particular courses and accepted therapy from a psychologist. After one month of treatment, my mental state has improved. In addition, part-time, I read through some psychological books and practiced meditation for mind training. Recently, I took an online depression test, and the depression is gone. The below screenshot shows result of online depression test : the minimal depression. Therefore, with a stable mental state, I can focus on my studies and have a better performance.
Secondly, I enrolled in the summer session and have three particular courses, namely Ecology and the Environment, Disease in the 21st Century, and Principles of Psychology. I attend all classes on time and work hard for each course. For instance, in the Principles of Psychology, the theories I learned from the course can be applied to day-to-day life. I spend an extra three hours per day on extra reading and self-study. In addition to completing assignments, attending class, and meeting the basic requirements of the courses, I also dedicate over 20 hours per week to studying. Since May, I have been studying very hard. For the course that I failed, I will retake it the following semester. If I have any difficulties in my studies, I will try all ways, such as inquiring from professionals, attending study groups, or seeking support from Learning Commons to solve these difficulties. I believe that I will be able to have better performance in my studies in the future.
Additionally, to maintain my physical health, I also exercise regularly. Furthermore, I spend time with friends and attend parties and activities. I feel that my life has become much more fulfilling because of both my studies and various activities. As a full-time student, I will put all my effort into studying and making my life meaningful. For the other issues, my family provides financial support for me, and I do not need to worry too much about financial issues. My main motivation for studying is firstly to have a better future for myself. Secondly, it's about exploring the world scientifically. And finally, it's about giving back to my family for their support.
I clearly understand that studying hard is the most important thing for me at the moment. While focusing on my studies, I also realize the importance of balancing my physical and psychological health. I aim to make myself happy and lead a meaningful life alongside my academic pursuits. For my current studies, my short-term goal is to achieve better grades in my three current courses. My long-term goal is to attain a higher GPA to compensate for the regrets brought by the special circumstances. In addition, for future special events, because I have studied psychology and attended therapy, my ability to cope with stress has been improved to some extent. If unexpected situations arise, I will immediately seek solutions, such as addressing special events or finding methods to maintain my mental balance. I will continue with my psychological therapy to stabilize my physical and mental condition. Therefore, for the current stage, the impact of the special circumstances has been decreasing significantly.
