<p>Hi I have to do a Sap appeal in order to keep financial aid. Everything in my appeal is true. Can you critique my appeal and make sure it is good. I really appreciate it.</p>
<pre><code> I am writing to ask you to appeal my suspension of federal financial aid because of the unfortunate circumstances that have occurred in the past years. I am in this situation because I failed to meet SAP my first semester here at clayton state (Spring11) because at the time my mother was on dialysis and stayed very sick, so I went home a lot to be with her and it caused me to fail because I missed a lot of classes. Near the end of that semester I was able to focus on school more because my mother received a kidney transplant, but it was too late because my grades were already too low. I was able to appeal that and stay in school. Since then I have been working my hardest and doing the best I can in school in order to get off of probation. I have yet to fail any other courses. This summer I took 2 courses in which I started 2 weeks late because my payments to the bursars office werenÂ’t showing up yet and they kept dropping my classes. I was really stressed, I stayed sick, and I was very depressed during this time. I moved in with my boyfriend in order to save money because during the summer I didnÂ’t receive federal aid and had to pay for school out of pocket. While staying with him I could not focus due to arguing and physical abuse. I never reported the abuse to the police. I just simply left the situation. They only person I told was my Boss and one of my co-workers. I also went to counseling before the situation happened but I did not continue to go because I didnÂ’t have time during the day due to work. I also missed a lot of work due to illness. I have an ulcer and my stomach tends to hurt a lot. I also have a low immune system and tend to get sick very easily. I have been told that stress will cause my ulcer to get worse. I have been to the school clinic due to illness and they gave me promethazine for nausea and a paper telling me how to deal with stomach ulcers. During this time I didnÂ’t do any work for 3 days because I still didnÂ’t feel well.
I can do better in school because I have changed most of the situations that caused me to fail to meet my SAP. I canÂ’t really fix when I get sick but I will do my best to still get my work done for any course I may miss due to illness. I have moved out of my ex-boyfriendÂ’s apartment and is now staying with a relative until school starts in the fall, so I can focus on school entirely with a major stressor. I have decided to continue to go to the school counselor because the counselor was a lot of help to me at the time of the situation and it helped me relieve some of the stress I had. I have started taking my medication for my ulcer to keep me from getting sick and have pains in my stomach. I have also changed my diet like the nurse suggested in order to stay healthy. I am a hard working student and I do my best. While I have been in school I have managed to complete more courses to the best of my ability. I will do my hardest to maintain my SAP GPA while in school and I will also go to a tutor for any course I may feel like I wonÂ’t be successful in. I am very dedicated because this is my future and school is the only thing keeping me motivated. Thank you for your time.
