Recommended: How mental illness affects school

Dear, members of the Appeals Committee It pains me to have to ask, but I wish to appeal my suspension. This past year has been a very trying year for me both physically and mentally. My fall semester I was sick basically the entire time on and off with strep. I was doing good for the majority of the semester then I got really sick towards the end and I let my grades slip and I was put on academic probation. In December right before spring semester I had to get surgery to remove my tonsils. The recovery from the surgery really took a toll on my body and made starting off the semester quite difficult. It caused my ADD medication to effect me negatively making the side effects much more severe than they usually are. Minor issues with falling asleep became barley being able to sleep at all …show more content…

When at home I would spend hours trying to teach myself the material and when doing homework it took me way longer to finish then it should have. Despite all this I still tried my best to keep up and I was doing okay. Then a little over halfway through the semester I was told that I might have breast cancer. I got tested and I wasn't given a conclusive answer. All I was told was that I had to go back in six months to get tested again. All the sudden I had this weight put on my shoulders. I was mentally wreaked, at that point I felt like my body was just failing me. I managed to get C's in most of my classes but I wasn't able to pull in together for one of them and I got a D+, so I wasn't able to lift my self from academic probation. This summer I thought it was a good idea to retake two classes from my fall semester in attempt to raise my GPA. I also started working at a new job. The combination of worrying about my health and stresses from working all the time made me unfocused. I wasn't able to balance work and school as best as I thought I could especially because I decided to take a break from my ADD medication. (I can provide

    I was trying to be too many things and it all came crashing down at me. Swallowing my grief for my beloved grandmother’s death and trying to get into the mental state for school was hard for me. I never handled grief or even dealt with death, this was new for me. Everyone handles grief a different way, my way was keeping busy not being idle. Because if I was not, then I would be thinking of the loss that I felt in my life. Working after school was different from me as well, I never really worked while I was in high school and that was the first semester I did. I noticed soon that I can’t keep up with both acts. School and working was not mixed well for me, but I couldn’t quit I had to keep the job going, because my little paycheck helped make my mother’s ends meet. I had to remember that she was the reason why I was doing

    The migraines decreased and I slowly started to chip away at my assignments. My straights A’s began slipping to C’s and even F’s. However in order to fix that, I did just what I would do with finding the cutlery: I asked for help. School provided me with aid through a 504 plan and my parents would quiz me on where I could find certain utensils. By the end of the year, I was able to eat my ice cream without fumbling around my drawers and I had a better track record on my transcripts. I finally learned how to find that spoon.

  • What Is Fear Essay

    1175 Words  | 3 Pages

    All of my classes in high school I passed with no struggle. I would cram all the knowledge that I needed for a test the night before, so I thought college would not be any different. A week or two before my first ever college exam the professor announced that if we had not already been study, then we should start to right away. Being a young naive freshmen, I kind of blew the teacher off. Telling myself that I did not need to waste the next few weeks studying for one exam. So I waited until the last day to study. You might have an idea of what happened next. I failed the exam. Failing so bad that it would be nearly impossible for me to still get a C in the course. I could not even look at myself. The thought of disappointing my parents was making my stomach turn. This fear of failing the class was tearing me apart. The only chance at passing this class was if I turned myself into the perfect student. This meant turning things in on time, studying days in advance for exams, and going to my professor’s office hours. And that is exactly what I did. By some seriously hard work, long nights, and over a hundred red bulls, I was able to achieve a passing grade with a

    Dear Office of Student Financial Assistance: I am appealing my financial aid suspension because of me not maintain Satisfactory Academics this past semester. Although there is no reason to ever fail a class or put yourself in a situation were it can jeopardize your GPA, I was not concidering the choices academically I made for myself. As a transfer student, coming to Hampton was a huge change for me. Coming from community college and living at home with my parents but now being away from home and having to do things on my own was a huge shock to me and I couldn’t focus. Along with the environment change, getting my study habits in order was more of a challenge and I didn’t schedule myself for my demanding workload that was given to me.

  • Student Appeal Letter

    528 Words  | 2 Pages

    To the Department of Communication Disorders, I am writing to request an appeal concerning a couple of the department’s policies, which I have already violated prior to my enrollment at the University of Houston. The first policy I am addressing states that a student must earn at least a B- in all pre-COMD courses. The second policy I would like to petition states that a student may earn no more than one grade below a B- in COMD courses. I have violated this policy at my former university (where such policy was not in place) by obtaining a C grade in Anatomy and Speech Science. I hope to be able to have the opportunity to retake these courses at the University of Houston in order to receive a higher grade and be accepted into the COMD program.

    Don’t you think that isolating a student away from school society is a little much? Just seeing all of the people who have been suspended, it just doesn’t seem to work. The student doesn’t get any education when suspended from school and they don’t seem to learn a lesson most of the time. Although, students make mistakes that get them into trouble, the main part of school is to learn and become more sociable. Schools shouldn’t allow suspensions because it risks a higher chance in dropping out, it doesn’t make students any more respectful, and students stay educated.

    In all I believe that Out-Of-School Suspension is not always necessary. In cases where the suspect is a repeat offender it should be reviewed. The schools should look into the suspect’s history such as prior incidents, violence in family, medical problems, etc before deciding on the final disciplinary action. Not all students need to be sent out to learn their lesson. This is why alternatives should be

  • School Suspensions

    1010 Words  | 3 Pages

    Many colleges see your record, and colleges are more inclined to accept a well-behaved, clean student rather than a student with a suspension or two. Evidence shows that a suspension doesn’t necessarily mean that the student’s behavior will improve. Data indicate that the frequent use of suspension has many undesirable and unintended outcomes, including a less healthy school environment, lower academic achievement, higher levels of disruptive or antisocial behavior, and higher school dropout rates. Not only that, when a student gets suspended, he or she misses classes, loses valuable information, and does worse on tests. By ruining the educational climate, suspension harms peers around the misbehaving student.
