Academic Plan
My academic plan is based on preparation support and studying something that actually fits me.
I have applied to switch into the General Economics program because I realised through therapy and self reflection that I was not in the right program before. Economics is something I enjoy and I feel more motivated when I am working on topics that interest me. I am already taking a summer economics course to get ahead and feel ready for the fall term.
I have multiple appointments already booked through Student Wellness Services. These include therapy academic accommodations and follow up support for ADHD. The full assessment I completed this winter confirmed a likely diagnosis and my doctor and I plan to start treatment when I return in the fall. These services have helped me better understand myself and I will continue using them consistently.
I will also keep working with tutors attending office hours and using academic advising. I plan to take a lighter course load and I am using weekly planning tools like Notion and Google Calendar to stay organised. I now check in with support staff earlier when I feel overwhelmed and I have a clear system to track deadlines and prepare for exams.
If I am withdrawn I will lose access to all of this support. I will not be able to return to Canada as my parents cannot justify paying for flights unless I am enrolled. That means no access to therapy ADHD treatment or academic resources. All the progress I have made depends on being able to stay.
This is not just a request for another chance. It is a continuation of the real changes I have already made and the commitment I am showing. I know I can succeed if I am allowed to stay connected to the support and plan I now have in place.
