To Whom It May Concern

I am writing to appeal my academic dismissal from UAE University. I was not surprised, but very upset to receive a letter earlier this week informing me of my dismissal. I would like to urge you to reinstate me for next semester.

I admit, I had a very difficult time last semester, and my grades suffered as a result. I don't mean to make excuses for my poor academic performance, but I would like to explain the circumstances. I knew that registering for 9 credit hours in the fall would require a lot of me, specially that I registered for physics I, calculus II, and chemistry II which I needed to earn so that I was on track to graduate on time. I thought I could handle the work load, and I still think I could have, except that my father became very ill in January. While he was sick at home and unable to work, I had to drive home every weekend and some week nights to help out with household duties and to care for my two brothers whom they still studying at school. Needless to say, the hour-long drive each way cut into my study time, as did the chores I had to do at home. Even when I was at school, I was very distracted with the home situation and was unable to focus on my schoolwork. I understand now that I should have communicated with my professors (instead of avoiding them), or even taken a leave of absence. I thought I could handle all of these burdens, and I tried my best, but I was wrong.

I love UAE University, and it would mean so much to me to graduate with a degree from this school, which would make me the first person in my family to complete a college degree. If I am reinstated, I will focus much better on my schoolwork, take fewer hours, and manage my time more wisely. Fortunately, my father is recovering and has returned to work, so I should not need to travel home nearly

    Throughout my years of high school I have always strived for the best grades that I could attain, and they didn’t come easy. There were plenty of distractions that had driven me off course. Whether it was long hours at practice, volunteering for my community, or having a part-time job, I couldn’t let these activities hinder my grades. This purpose had sprung in me, to not only strive in my extracurricular activities, but also my schoolwork. Balancing both school and additional activities wasn’t a simple task. This led me to many sleepless nights, in which I had to tutor myself on certain topics I was struggling on. This ranged from my hardest subject, to studying extra hours on my hardest class, and even simple topics that I needed extra work…

    In 1787, Thomas Jefferson wrote “Above all things, I hope the education of the common people will be attended to; convinced that on their good sense we may rely with the most security for the preservation of a due degree of liberty” (Tanner & Tanner, 1995, p. 4). Jefferson theorized that indifference to education puts liberty and self-governance in peril. Education could provide each individual the opportunity to gain knowledge in order to promote self-governing and freedom (Tanner & Tanner, 1995).…

    After the release of Friedan’s novel, there was an overwhelming response from the readers. Many responded with utter happiness, claiming that Feminine Mystique had changed their lives, while many responded negatively. Friedan’s success led her to co-fund the National Organization for Women (NOW) in 1966, to work towards increasing women’s rights. By being a part of this organization she influenced the change “outdated laws that were disadvantageous to women, such as sex-segregated help-wanted ads and hiring practices, unequal pay, and firing a woman who was pregnant instead of providing her with maternity leave” (NWHM). However, many African Americans felt that NOW was “too white and middle class” to address the problems poor women and racial…

    "Hard Lives" in College

    “Hard lives” do not justify excessive absences simply because they will get too far behind and miss an excessive amount of notes. Along with Mr. Culpepper, “I have also found students who manage to complete a full load of classes successfully while working three jobs, caring for elderly, and coping with chronic illness…” (330). As in most universities or colleges, these students are already given a certain amount of days for absences. In most cases, six absences are allowed for the semester which is two and half weeks of class. If the students save these absences for emergencies, six absences are more than enough for one semester.…

    Another reason why my academic performance got so bad was the fact that I didn’t get Financial Aid during the Fall 2008 semester, so I was not able to obtain my books as soon as I would have liked. As a result, I found myself having to catch up to the rest of the class. This obviously put me at a bit of a disadvantage. If I am given another chance, I would not foresee this as being an issue in the future.…

    Ever since high school, I have struggled with school. After graduating high school, I graduated with a 1.7 GPA. I always knew I was an average student, so I accepted my GPA proudly. However after entering college, everything changed. I knew everything was going to be more difficult and demanding. Beyond all the hardships of academics, I was also going to have to pay for all of education by myself, because my parents could not afford it. This adversity made it extremely difficult for me to decide if I wanted to continue my education and enter college. However, despite my finical struggle I decide to continue my education and apply for college. I applied to Rockland Community College, where I wanted to work on increasing my GPA.…

    Even though I had the potential to pass this class there was a certain situation that holed me back. A lot of stressful things were happening in my life while I was doing my first quarter. On my first quarter, I did make myself ready to give my entire time for school. But right after I started my nursing school my relative who used to live with me moved out; without saying anything. I didn’t even know he moved out until I got his text after a week. This killed me a lot, not knowing why he moved out was a lot of stress and since I was the older relative his families were counting on me .Even if he is a big boy to live by himself, it was not our tradition to move out to live by yourself unless you're married or moved far from school or work. I was so worried about him, plus I was so scared to hear how the family reacts to it. Therefore I had to keep it to myself while trying to reach him but weeks passed and I couldn’t get him to talk to me. The fact that he is avoiding me makes me hate myself and blame myself for his actions. Even if I was struggling with myself, I was trying my best to be focused on my school. I was able to…

    In winter term 2013 I received three B-‘s and one D- . I know I am capable of doing better but I simply did not put the effort into my academics because I was dealing with negative emotions. I did not take advantage of the opportunities given to me to raise my grades which could have helped with receiving a higher GPA. I did poorly on exams because I did not set aside time to study and do homework. I also made conscious decisions to miss my classes because I felt so depressed. In that moment being happy was more important than going to class. I lost a significantly good amount of friends and my parents were the only support system I had. I just could not find a balance between my academics and dealing with my emotions. I felt depressed and all the negative emotions I was feeling consumed me entirely. I was so involved with undesirable thoughts and emotions – I lost sight to my goals.…

    I started my first year of college with my life prearranged. I had a ridiculous notion that everything was going to be a piece of cake. I was going to join different clubs, do lots of research, make the dean’s list, make my parents proud and attend as many parties as I could. However, now when I look back, I realized that I was too comfortable in my life. I thought I was ready to overcome every obstacle that was thrust upon me but I was sadly mistaken. College was a culture shock. I concluded that college is an entirely different universe, then high school. My GPA dropped for the first time in my life from a 3.7 in high school to a 2.8. The decline in my GPA made me realize that my journey to becoming a doctor is not always going to be easy. It made me hunger to go to medical school even more, to overcome the academic and emotional hurdles, and…

    I lost my little sister. I can’t begin to express the pain and the emptiness this makes me feel. She was my best friend; she looked up to me and wanted to be just like me. We were more than sisters, I was like her mother. Our bond was inseparable and now I am trying my best to accept what has happened and try and live life without the person who was my purpose for living. My entire life has changed. While grieving the loss of my sister, I was called on an emergency mission. I’m a part of the Army National Guard and I was selected to travel to Germany on a Security Mission. Of course this was a very tough time for me but I had to sacrifice what I was going through to protect and serve my country. Due to all of these extenuating circumstances it was difficult to perform as strongly as planned this semester, but to make my sister proud I still put forth as much effort as I could being the circumstances. I successfully completed and passed all of the classes this semester when sometimes giving up felt like the easiest thing to do. Unfortunately, it wasn’t enough to increase my cumulative GPA to…

    This affected me not only academically but socially and athletically. The stress of the work isolated me from my peers and this caused them to complain to me in which I was pressured to work extra hard to complete my studies to make time for them. In addition to the weight of trying to pass and maintain a social life, I had to go to extensive hours of after school practices for my school’s water polo team. As part of the team, they relied on me to play my part and it made me feel burdened to practice harder to make up for my lack of good grades. Because of my naivety on how to balance a high school life, my anxiety was beginning to build. The next semester the pace got faster and the workload doubled. I was horrified with myself that I couldn’t catch up. I found all my classmates around me struggling as well but it felt like I got the brunt of it. It came to a point—my tipping point—when I was depressed and at that moment, I gave up. I thought, “If I can’t even pick up my grade then there’s no point in trying.” By then, it was rounding the end of the school year. My parents were breathing down my neck and treated me harshly to get my grades up but I…

    I have been seeking a college degree since I left high school in 2002. It has been a long road for me since there were some obstacles and challenges that hindered me from finishing college in a timely manner. When I first entered college I wasn’t really ready, therefore I skipped classes here and there and eventually stopped going all together; a part of me wished that I would have taken a small break after high school before starting college since I barely passed my senior year of school. I was just not ready to start going back to school again, but I did to please my parents, that’s the first and biggest mistake I have made since I first started college.…
