To whom this may concern, Hello my name Vanesa Mattress, I am twenty-two years old, I have a eleven month old lovely son and I am studying to be an Medical assistant at Forrest Junior College. On behalf of this I am requesting to be reinstated to Forrest Junior College for this coming semester. I am currently on academic suspension for not meeting the maximum time frame for completion. There have been semesters that I haven’t tried my hardest to complete my courses as I should’ve been prepared. At Forrest Junior College, I have learned and experienced many roles as a student attending there and with this suspension on my hands, makes me feel that I didn’t do all I was liable to do for my success. This letter is to provide the reasons why I failed to do what was needed resulting me to be put on academic suspension and allowing me to tell what can be expected from me, so this matter won’t happen again. First of all, the semester of Winter 2011, I was withdrawn from all my classes, because I was expecting my son in February 2011. When the semester was starting, I was asked to take a leave for the semester, because of my pregnancy. Instead, I went ahead and started the semester anyway; however, not thinking that I was going in …show more content…
the hospital then I ended up not being able to go to my classes as expected. Because of this decision I made to stay in school before I had my son, caused me to be withdrawn from all my classes for the semester. Second, the semester of Summer 2011, I had failed all my classes by not attending them.
After having my son, my body was still trying cope itself to having to care for a “c-section” and a newborn even though it was like at least a month or two after being at the hospital. I just really wasn’t applying myself like I should’ve been for the semester. I wasn’t ready to come back to school, but I didn’t want to get behind anymore than I was already. Also, in April, after my recovery weeks, I started a new job at Target and I would get off, go home, and take care of my son and just would be too exhausted to attend class the next day. Therefore, for that being done I was buried even more for being on the edge of academic
action.
Lastly, the semester of Fall 2011, I had to opportunity to take CNA classes at NHC just to better myself. So, I had to make a decision to take the classes and withdraw from my mid- term classes or don’t take the offer. Therefore, I spoke to my advisor and another professor and they both agreed if I drop my mid-term classes then I would be able to take the classes. The reason why I wanted to take the CNA classes is that around October 2011 I had lost my job and had a job opportunity at NHC but I had to take classes in order to be hired. After taking the classes you weren’t guaranteed a job there.
In conclusion, I’m not in school just for the fun of it; however, I do want to be successful and to be able to say “I did it.” I am holding myself liable to do whatever it takes to be reinstated back into school for myself and my son. I love learning a lot of information that will help me get to where I want to be in life and I want to be able to graduate and have the ability to put my knowledge to good use in my field of study. Thank you for your time and consideration and I hope you will choose to allow me to have another opportunity to finish school.
Sincerely,
Vanesa Mattress
