—REALLY LONG BUT PLEASE READ---- I went through a few hardships at the beginning of my second semester of college. During my second semester of college I went through very unbearable mental health problems.
Even though I exceeded during my first semester I could not managed to keep my grades up due to my symptoms. As to many people have a choice to moving back with their parents, mine was quite different due to the fact that I live in a very abusive home with my stepdad who would’ve kicked me out of the house if I came back. In other words, I was homeless and did not know where to go so I decided to try to ignore my symptoms try to do the material.
Boy was I wrong. I failed each in every class which cost me my scholarship and financial aid. 8 months later after many life style changes like diet, doing yoga, and making healthy choicesI, and getting treatment, my symptoms went completely into remission which I am very lucky to say that today.
The only problems is my last 2 semesters. The 2nd semester of my freshmen year was a complete disaster which I take blame for, but hey I was very sick. Even though I completely failed my 2nd semester of my freshman year, I was granted permission to keep going with my classes after writing a letter of appeal to the dean of academics.
My 1st semester of freshmen year went really well except for one thing… My stupid professor. Since I did bad my 2nd semester of my freshmen year I couldn’t sign up or attend any classes since I was in the process of getting my academic appeal approved.
When my appeal was approved I was two weeks late into the semester and every single professor accepted me into their classrooms except… one. That is when everything started even going more downhill. Since that professor did not wanted to take me in even after talking to him and explaining everything I had to go through he said no… which really makes me think how many professors do not even care.
I was supposed to take 4 classes but since he denied me I was only taking 3. This put my GPA on jeopardy since the whole point of probation was to get your grades up to a 2.0 or higher, taking 3 classes was not going to bring it to that level due to the fact that I did so bad during my 2nd semester of freshmen year.
Even though I aced my 3 classes my GPA was 1.90 so my financial aid advisor said did I not met the academic standards to be able to receive financial and advised me to take an alternative loan which I am totally not doing and now I am so stressed because I feel that my dreams of changing and making an impact in this world are gone.
My questions are… what are my options? (If I have any) and how can a professor do that to a student? Would’t that violate school policies? I honestly do not know what to do at this point, Anything will really help.
Thank you so much,
