<p>I am about to start my second year at the University of Florida this fall and I just found out that my father has developed cancer. I have four much younger brothers and I know that staying with my mother in South Florida would greatly help her with them so I am very much considering this. I just want to know if anyone knows if I would be able to miss the upcoming semester or year while my father gets chemotherapy and then continue the following summer? If so, what would the process be? Would it be possible to take some classes at a local university so I don't fall behind too much? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.</p>
