Petition Letter
Dear Petitions Committee,
I am writing to respectfully petition for an exemption from the Required to Withdraw period and request the opportunity to continue my studies.
The reason I would like to be exempt is that I experienced a severe psychological challenge that had a significant and direct impact on my academic performance. During the year I was really struggling with persistent feelings of hopelessness, inability to concentrate(partially due to my adhd), overwhelming fatigue, and a complete loss of motivation. I almost never did anything when I got out of bed past 6pm. I frequently had suicidal thoughts it was extremely difficult to function normally or meet the academic expectations of my courses.
These circumstances affected every aspect of my studies. I didn't have the strength to attend classes consistently and especially prepare for exams, and retain information while studying. My academic performance declined substantially and no longer reflected my abilities or my genuine commitment to my education.
I couldnt recognize the severity of what I was experiencing and refused to seek help. I understand that i made serious mistakes. I am committed to doing better at queens and seeking appropriate support, and taking the necessary steps to ensure that I can succeed academically moving forward.
I respectfully ask the Committee to consider my circumstances and the impact they had on my academic performance when reviewing my petition. I promise to remain committed to my education and I will do significantly better than I did last year and achieve a gpa worthy of attending queens University. I love this school and want to truly be apart of it.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
