Academic Plan
As outlined in the final paragraph of the appeal letter, I plan to contact a therapist or counselor through Student Wellness Services to talk through my emotions and find a strategy to better manage my studies and cope with my family's situation and my mental health. I also believe a learning strategist or an advisor from SWS would be greatly beneficial in this case as I want to return to the same mental state prior to my second year and perform to my greatest capability. I understand I cannot single-handedly repair my family but if I want to develop a more positive outlook on life which will carry over to my classes, I need help from professionals. If I can reduce my over-thinking and eliminate some of this distraction, hopefully it will make managing my mental health easier and thus my classes.
