Petition Letter
For an extended period during May, June, and July of 2021, I found myself unable to complete schoolwork and participate in classes due to a combination of ongoing physical and psychological issues exacerbated significantly by the COVID-19 pandemic. My usual coping mechanisms and strategies for success were largely inaccessible due to the pandemic. I have taken many steps to deal with these extenuating circumstances. I returned home to Toronto to attend a variety of important medical and psychological appointments. I also worked with my mother and two counsellors to develop a new set of strategies designed to aid me regardless of my social or physical situation.
