Academic Plan
The most impactful step I have taken is forming a proper support system. I have seen my family doctor and have attached a note confirming the extent of my circumstance. I have found a licensed therapist to see on a weekly basis as part of my effort to avoid last year's crisis. I am meeting with my psychiatrist, Dr. Nosheen, on July 5th 2022 to adjust my medication. In addition to my doctor, therapist, and my psychiatrist, I have scheduled a meeting with an academic advisor to further strengthen my plan to return to studies.
My professors have been understanding of my situation and have allowed me to turn in missing assignments to be re-graded. By accepting these late assignments, my professors have given me a chance to improve my GPA and meet the standards for returning to Queen's. They will confirm that when I hand in my work, I do a good job. I am taking this initiative regardless of the outcome of my appeal in order to demonstrate my dedication and respect for the faculty. Their compassion has motivated me and shown me that I can do this.
My family has become a tremendous support. I am stronger and better equipped to handle the challenges of university. I have developed new skills to ensure a successful school year. I have greatly improved my communication skills through regular check-ins with my support team and reaching out the moment I feel overwhelmed.
I have developed a passion for Art History at Queen's. I plan to pursue a degree in Art History upon my return with a renewed focus and positive outlook on my future. Coming back to Queen's this fall is critical to my wellness, a sentiment that is supported by my doctor, my family, and myself.
Since receiving the treatment I needed, my mental health has drastically improved. It is a journey and will no doubt have ups and downs, but what is different this time is that I have the resources and support team to help me push through and thrive. I am a successful student. I have always remained an intelligent and high achieving student - I was very sick. Please trust that I will succeed this year, I will not let you down. Thank you for your time and consideration.
