Financial Aid Crisis

<p>I am in a VERY deep panic attack and need immediate help. Like i am so depressed i think about killing myself. I dont know what to do. I am smart but something happened that i cant control. I run track for my school. My 1st quarter GPA was a 2.7. second quarter was so bad that my cumul. dropped to a 1.9 and they took my financial aid. What happened was I wanted to drop a class and i went to the athletic department becuase i have to have their consent. I dont know this process but after all that was done i asked the lady is there ANYTHING else i need to do after i had to get consent from my coach and everything and she said no your good. Turns out i myself had to go and drop the class after all that and now im suck with the class which lower my GPA BADLY. So now i tried to make a letter on explaining why I NEED this financial aid. Im VERY stressed and cannot sleep. I know i can easily make up my GPA but i need financial aid.</p>

<p>This is what i wrote
Dear Financial Aid Appeals Committee: </p>

<p>My name is _________ and I am writing to ask you to appeal my suspension of federal aid. I have been a student here at the college since 2013 and I am a rising sophomore. Throughout this time, I have faced a number of challenges in accomplishing my own goals for success as a student. I want to pursue my business career as well as my track career. I run track and field for _________. The reason for which I am writing this letter is due to the fact that my financial aid was suspended from me.</p>

<p>There were two major issues that impacted my ability to be successful here at the college, first is due to the fact that I wanted to drop a class during my spring semester here at ___<strong><em>. I was unable to drop it on my own because I contacted the compliance coordinator or the associate athletic director and went through a short process of confirming it. Shortly after, I asked her if there is anything else I need to do and she said no, I was good. I thought that everything was taken care of and the class had been dropped. Sadly, it wasn’t. Shortly after when I checked to see if the class was dropped it was still there. Since the spring of 2013, I have begun shaping my life and planning out what I was going to do throughout my college life here at _</em></strong>__. However, I received a letter saying that my financial aid was suspended from me and that was the only way I could afford to attend the college.</p>

<p>Getting this GPA and this letter was one of the biggest failures in my entire life. And this really was an eye opener for what my future is going to hold and I am ready to buckle up and achieve success in any way means possible. Steps taken for me to meet the required SAP requirements are for me to use the available resources on campus such as tutors and seeking study groups for assistance. I will work more with my professors in achieving my desired grade. I understand the requirements I need to for fill and I will do everything in my power to make sure the requirements are for filled and if not more. If you were to give me financial aid. I WILL change my habits and crackdown in order to do better. Achieving lower than a 2.0 is unacceptable and cannot be tolerated however, this is in fact the first time in my life I have ever gotten lower than a 2.0 and I will be for a fact, the LAST time I will get lower than a 2.0.</p>

<p>I sincerely hope that this appeal shows that I am dedicated to being a successful student here at the
__<strong><em>. Please do not use only my past as a barometer for my success in the future. There have been many steps done over the last year to ensure my success going forward and I firmly believe that I am truly deserving of the lifting of my financial aid suspension so I fix my GPA, which I am completely certain I can do, and be eligible to complete Plan A to receive my degree from _</em></strong>____. But I can only do this if I can apply for financial aid. I am a hard-working student and a dedicated athlete, and I would like the chance to prove to you that my next semester will not be a disappointment. I am ready to achieve success from many failures.</p>

<p>Sincerely,</p>

<p>Please help me revise this or tell me if this will work. I'm desperate and scared. VERY terrified.</p>

<p>Also my parents are getting a divorse</p>
