Academic Plan
Academic Plan
I have spoken with an academic advisor, Cindy Butts, who helped me come up with a plan to ensure my success. Firstly, I would like to retake some of the courses that I have failed, for example Gender 125. In light of everything that has happened, I would like to pursue some courses in gender studies to learn more about women¿¿s rights. I am very interested in DEVS and aim to major in it, so talking courses surrounding that specialty will not only keep me interested in the material, but also motivated. As I previously stated, I had no support system throughout the year. I now realize how unhealthy it is to keep me feelings bottled up, so making monthly appointments with my academic advisor to keep me on track will help my success. My mother has since found out about my difficulties at school and my depression, therefore she has decided to take me to a psychologist to get some professional help, and to prepare me for the upcoming school year. Finally, I am pleased to say that my father¿¿s trial is set for July 7th 2017 where this matter will finally be resolved. My depression and anxiety issues have already diminished significantly knowing that this traumatic family event will soon be behind me and that I can return in the fall and be the hardworking student I know I am.
Please understand that my very low GPA which lead to my dismissal does not indicate that I am a bad student, just a student who happened to have a very, very bad year. If I am granted this second chance I will prove to myself and to the faculty that I am a talented and hardworking student who aims to finish her undergraduate years with excellent marks.
Thank you so much for considering this appeal, I greatly appreciate it.
Sincerely,
Sofie Shetinina
