Petition Letter
Dear Associate Dean,
I'm Juhan Kim, 10016949, and I'm writing this appeal so my deadline to drop courses may be waived for terms Fall 2015 and Winter 2016.
I wasn't aware of my disorder until Fall of 2015. I was having some minor health issues since 2013 but I just waved it away as I thought it was temporary. However it built up for 2 years and I realized I needed some treatment. For whole academic year from Fall of 2015 to Winter 2016, I couldn't concentrate on anything as the symptoms got severe and lost a lot of weight and caused more health problems. After the term of Winter 2016, I thought taking a break during summer would allow me to recover but it got worse and I couldn't return to Queen's for Fall 2016. That's when I went to the doctors and set up appointments for treatment. I got diagnosed with major depression and have been taking medication since then for almost an year. And due to major depression, my liver, stomach, and skin had been severely damaged and had to take medications for those as well.
I'm very sorry for the inconvenience. I should have taken care of my academics and have written this letter earlier but past two years have been really rough for me and now I'm finally getting chance to contact with school as I'm recovering. Thank you very much for your consideration.
Thank you,
Juhan Kim
