Dear ______
My name is Keith. I’m a transfer student here at X It has been a great honor being accepted and having a fresh and new start to my life. I had a very difficult adjustment period and struggled to keep up my grades as I began dealing with culture shock, mutual breakdown, anxiety, and depression. I lose my way and focus. It affected my performance greatly as I was lost in my word with no one to understand, I’m a long way from New York but that where the problems are coming from. I thought I had a handle on it. I am willing to do whatever it takes to get myself back on track academically and mentally, I’m writing with the hope that you will reinstate me
After high school, my parents decided not to pay for my college or support me as they believed community college was not a real thing, always discourage me and constantly abused me for not doing better. I got a job and worked hard to earn money and pay my tuition with no financial aid help. I went to class early morning and working till late at night. I did this to stay away from my parents and have a better chance off getting accepted to out off state college where I could be on my own and have complete focus. My hard work over the years had paid off I was accepted to western.
I deeply apologize for my failing grades, this not the way I want to represent myself or the school. I take full responsibility for not communicating better and letting my mental illness get the best of me. I felt ashamed, no one could understand me. During school days I was waking up with my mom crying on the phone after my dad found out I was on academic probation. I was threatened with hash toward me and my mom if I continue to fail. I started having a break down every week in the bathroom. His worlds were hurting me every single chance he got.I’m not good enough, all your friends have jobs, business and getting married while I’m still in taking summer classes school. My father put all his pain and anger about me on my mom, every morning I call to check on my mom, some days she crying she had not to words. Her pain is transferred to me I start to cry and have a breakdown.
I’ve made major progress to have a success straight A’s spring 2020. I have a great academic advisor who has helped me create an execution plan for the upcoming semester. I decided to stay on campus as I receive treatment to get better and prepare myself. I can’t go home as my Mental Health will only get worse again.
- I will be retaking the 3 class, math, creative writing, and communication. I didn’t do so in all 3 but I went to class every time till the end of the semester, I kept every note, Powerpoint, and lectures for all class. I have an advantage, I was fighting every day but that not an excuse not to attend class.
- I will 100% fully participate in BEP, Learning Strategies was very helpful to attend every class
- I will schedule touring hours for all three classes
- I will record more them 8 hours a week in both study halls and library
- Join a study group, a weekly visit to office hours, be in constant communication with advisors and resources to help, including being part of ISEC. I have no excuses.
I am humbly asking that you would please consider reinstating me for the spring 2020 semester. I am striving to continue to perform well in my work through to my graduation in 2023. I extend my deepest thanks to you for your consideration of this matter.
