Petition Letter
Hello,
My name is Molly Prentice. When I was 12 years old I was diagnosed with Bladder Cancer. I went through 16 rounds of chemotherapy which luckily worked. I have been cancer free for almost 2 years. With that being said, I am immunocompromised. With the numbers of positive COVID- 19 cases here at Queen's University, I have begun to worry a lot more about being exposed. Last year when I was in grade 12 I did most of my courses online since there were a lot of positive cases in my classes and within my school. The reason why I did not request this change earlier is because I recently found out that there have been positive cases at both Victoria Hall and West Campus residence. I understand that these requests are not just given out. I cannot stress this enough that I truly believe putting psychology 100 online will eliminate the anxiety I have over possibly getting sick. I am also taking biology, chemistry, and calculus. The reason why I am not putting those courses online is because I do not feel as strong of an understanding in those courses as I do in psychology. My biology, chemistry, and calculus lectures are all livestreamed as well. I can watch them wherever I feel safe and comfortable to do so. I find psychology very interesting and I will continue to give psychology and all of my other courses as much of my attention and time needed to give in order to thrive in those courses.
Thank you,
Molly Prentice.
