Academic Plan
I plan on coming back to do my Bachelor of Arts B.A. and major in Sociology. I will retake SOC 122,I have previously done poorly in this course, I will make use of the resources available on Queen¿¿s such as the Learning Commons and the Writing Centre, to improve and succeed in this course and all other courses that I take. When encountering problems with coursework, I will take advantage of the Learning Strategies Counsellors and consult with Student Academic Success Services, located in the Stauffer Library for access to peer mentors and advice. I will only take three courses per term and will not be working during the academic year.
I did poorly in my previous years at Queen¿¿s due to terrible housing situations and the grief of my grandmother¿¿s passing away. To ensure that these situations will not keep negatively affecting me when I come back, I have made sure that the house I will be living in next year is in good condition. I have also been seeing a personal counselor at the Student Wellness Services Centre since April. There has been a lot of improvement in me after since I began my appointments and I plan to keep meeting with my counselor regularly to cope with my anxiety and grief so that they do affect my academics. The biggest problem that has stood in the way of my success at Queen¿¿s has been my mental health, which has been affecting my academic abilities. My personal counselling sessions have brought me back on track and with that support I believe I am ready to do well at Queen¿¿s.
