Petition Letter
I am asking for Credit Standing in one class in the Fall term of 2019 which is: Anatomy 315.
I am still struggling with the traumatic loss of my mother on April 5th, 2019. Due to the nature of her passing I have been diagnosed with severe anxiety and depression.
I chose to return to school as my education and degree means a great deal to me and this upcoming semester is my final one before graduating. The marks I receive are extremely important as I am hoping to continue my education in the medical field. However, I have found that my sleep, memory, and concentration have been affected a great deal. This has impacted my performance in certain assessments, especially ones that are test and memory based.
I do not believe that the mark received in Anatomy 315 is reflective of my capabilities. I have been working with a doctor at CAMH as well as a counsellor here at Queen¿¿s to continue to work through these symptoms and learn how to live with the grief I carry each day.
For my following semester I have chosen classes that don¿¿t depend so much on memory. I am also trying various treatment options with Dr. Strauss at CAMH in hopes that I can make it through my last semester successfully.
