Academic Plan
I have used the second semester of this last year to put in place strategies that will help me to meet my academic goals at Queens in the coming years. I have arranged to live with students who are supportive and aware of my mental health needs. They all know my service dog and are know how important he is to my continued improvement. I would like to start with a reduced course load to ensure that I dont try to do too much right away. I have improved so much while working with my doctors and with my dog Cajun, I have a much better grasp of what I have to do to keep myself moving forward. Without Cajun and my doctors I wouldn¿¿t be able to go outside and feel safe. With my service dog, I can finally say I am happy and healthy. I have worked incredibly hard to be where I am right now; I fully regret that my academics suffered so much because of my mental health. I will continue to work with Dr. Motz and Dr. Garcia to further my improvement. I have also worked with one of Queen¿¿s counselors, who I believe is currently on maternity leave, she had said that if I needed to make an appeal she would vouch for my effort in improving and in my current improvement. I would like to and I am willing to retake my first year courses and continue on with the lighter course load.
