Petition Letter
Hello,
My name is Amanda Rego- Lynch. I was enrolled and taking PSYC 100 Principles of Psychology. 6.00
I was taking this course through Distant Studies.
In order to pass this course, you need to pass the final exam. I failed to pass the final exam. Otherwise I had decent marks going throughout this course.
In about November to December my five year old daughter name Serena began to get sick. She was showing signs of a normal urinary track infection. I took her to the doctor, he gave us a prescription and we went home. By January, I really began to have my school studies affected because my daughter was being sent home from school for soiling both her pants and the new set I would send to the school. This is the point where it became semi difficult to start to prepare for my final exam. All February we were in and out of the doctors. Ultra sounds, more prescriptions, more time at home. She would get fever's randomly and start puking.
Having her at home and sick was really hard to organize my notes and spend the time I needed to study. By the time I got her to bed at night, I would look over my notes but it would be later at night and I would already be exhausted from the day.
March and April were a lot more overnight visits to the hospital, a lot more tests, and more and more medication. This made studying for my final near impossible. I had to study mostly from a tablet and my notebook. It is really hard to study at a hospital and even worse at home with a very sick child.
In May we finally had enough, I took her down to the Sick Kid's hospital of Toronto. She was properly diagnosed with constipation (her bowel was 4 cm blocked at this point), overflow diarrhoea, Eczema and Vulvovaginitis.
Since then she is being treated and although the blockage is not completely gone, she is doing much better. She has returned to school without any further problem thus far. We also go for regular check up's every six weeks.
I would like to drop this course so that I could retake this course in Summer 17 if possible, or if Summer 17 is full then I propose that I can retake this course in Winter 17.
If I am granted this opportunity I will make sure to give this course my all and I will pass and be able to continue on to my BA through distance studies.
Thank You for your time and consideration.
