<p>Financial Aid Suspension Committee</p>
<p>RE: Financial Aid Suspension</p>
<p>Dear Appeals Committee:</p>
<p>My name is ______________________ and I am writing you in hopes that the decision to Financial Aid Suspension could be reconsidered. I have received notification that I was put on FINANCIAL AID SUSPENSION for the summer 2011 semester. It was due to my academic failure during the fall 2011 & spring 2012 semester. Although my grades were poor the last few semesters, my GPA does not reflect my capability and determination to succeed and reach my academic goals.</p>
<p>The Fall of 2011 begin with great job and great expectation, even though it had been move then 20 years that I had been in school and I would looking forward to getting my degree. I did not realize how overwhelming this would be with working and planning my school studies, making sure I dont leave any of my church and my any of my other life responsibilities undone. Even though I tried, In the Fall 2011, I still fall behind in my work. I was helping take care of my mother who was dealing with breast cancer and the possibility of her losing her breast. Once the doctor said that they had to remove it, I really had a hard time forcing on my school work and dealing with this issue my mother had to face and I found myself falling behind in my school work. Once I got my mother through this I knew that I had to have plan in place. I ask my best friend to call me on Mondays, Wednesdays , Fridays and Sundays to make sure that I had not fallen behind in class assignments. I asked her to pray with me to keep my focus and on schedule. So, when Spring 2012, begin and I put a new plan in place to bring my grades up. I was going to use 30 minutes out of my hour lunch to read my class assignments for the week and do some of my work so I would not fall behind in my class work, but in the middle of the term my wife begin being ill. We had no idea what it was. The doctor was trying to find out what it was and for little while we thought that we had a lick on what it was. But on February 28, 2012, I just came in from being on the road driving my truck from Seattle, WA. I was in the family room at home getting ready to work on some school work and my wife became very ill, so much so that I had to call 911.
They admitted her into the hospital February 28th. It was very difficult for me to concentrate and do well in my classes when I had no idea what was going on with my wife. She end up having she needed to have surgery on her bile duct and she suffering from really bad infection in my colon, small and large-mouthed diverticula in her sigmoid colon. So had to put my family ahead of what I wanted for myself. I had trouble eating, sleeping, I trying to work a fulltime job to keep my house going, I felt like nothing was working out for me after I decided to go back to school. I thought that maybe I made the wrong chose, I was feeling very overwhelm. I found myself only thinking about my mom and my wife, and I begin to lose hope in school because so much was coming at me all at once. But I reached out to my Pastor he set sometime on the side to counsel me about what I was going through and he felt that I was going through depression. After spending a few days talking with him I can to a place where I begin to get my joy for school back. So he advise me to contact my professors of what going on with me to see if they could give me some extra time to catch up on my assignments and to bring my gpa up. But they could not give me any extra time. </p>
<p>I am aware of the mistakes I have made and am asking for another chance to show Liberty University that I can succeed academically.</p>
<p>My new academic plan is a follows:</p>
<p>When I begin classes this summer 2012 please know that school is of great importances to me and I have come up with a new plan for the following semester to manage my time and school work. (1.) My pastor has agreed to contact me twice a week to make sure that I dont fall behind. (2.) I will work toward being a week ahead just in case something comes and I want fall behind. (3.) I will continue to keep my professor informed of what is going on. (4.) I will reach each class syllabus carefully to familiarize myself with each instructors expectations and grading scale and refer to it when in doubt. (5) If am having trouble with my coursework in any of my classes, I will be sure to contact a tutor immediately.</p>
<p>I am appreciative of the fact that while I am on Financial Aid Suspension I will not be able to receive grants or loans to help with my tuition and fees. I am asking this committee to reconsider the denial for summer aid. Without student loans, I will not be able complete my education goal. Please know that I am extremely focused on my future and my dedication to my education is paramount. I plan to let this be my only request due to the fact that I am extremely determined to rise above the minimum requirements for Financial Aid acceptance and good standing at Liberty University. Please allow me a second chance to prove that I can be a model student and achieve academic excellence.</p>
