Dear Jen Day Shaw, Associate Vice-President & Dean of Students,
I ask desperately that you please hear me out. All I could think of as the Student Conduct Committee, wrote my letter of failure,. Yes, letter of failure not acceptance. In reality, I am projected to be a statistic that could never graduate from a four-year accredited College or University. Eventually leading the next generation of my family into poverty and a lack of education along with myself. After four years at the University of Florida I had two options, accept the possible sanction of expulsion which will be made official in a couple weeks after you, Jen Day Shaw, the Associate Vice-President & Dean of Students finalizes and stamps it. Or, I could fight for myself being

Including loosing my grandparents who were my last bit of familial support in 2014, being sexually assaulted causing me to have to withdraw from several classes, being rushed to UF Health/Shands emergency room, and being admitted to Meridian, a psychiatric Behavioral Institute, for a period of time. After a few visits to the Counseling and Wellness Center, I learned that everyone goes through something but your reaction to your circumstances is what is the determinative factor of your strength and future success. I could easily use these negative situations as an excuse for my actions, which would only make my situation even worse. Or I could accept my wrong doings and keep fighting for the opportunity that was given to me in 2012 when I was admitted to the University of Florida. Attending the University of Florida is not a want of my it is a necessity, words cannot explain the endless opportunities I have been awarded while being a student here. As a child it seemed like a goal that will never be achieved considering my severe circumstances of poverty. The reason I continue to stress the importance of opportunity is because without the University of Florida I do not know if the doors will open again or where I will end. But I know right here and right now I have to fight for the last hope I have in me, …show more content…
I also want to apologize for the disgrace I may have placed upon myself as a University of Florida student, your hardworking and dedicated employees and staff, as well as the legacy of the University of Florida our past ancestors have fought so hard to uphold. I am a strong believer that an individual can change for the better in any situation. The individual, being myself, am aware of my actions and wrong doings, despite the outcome, out of respect I will acknowledge every single individual that I have negatively impacted along the way. I have created a plan to ensure that I never find myself in this situation or any other similar again. Once again, please consider this letter as a token of complete honesty as I hope this alters the sanction of expulsion that has been placed upon me. I am willing to fight, dedicate, and rebuild the opportunity that is being stripped from my hands. I need with every bone in my body to graduate from the University of Florida and continue on to become more educated, eventually fulfilling my ultimate aspiration of becoming a doctor. I want to be student that will make the University of Florida proud to say I served my undergraduate term here. I want to expand and continue on the legacy everywhere I go. I sincerely apologize to you directly as well as my professors, the dean of students office, and my peers. I know I must pay for my actions
I am writing to appeal my academic dismissal from NOVA Southeastern University. I was not surprised, but very upset to receive a notice of my dismissal. I sat out for a year and would like to be accepted for the upcoming semester. I admit, I had a very difficult time during my last semester and as a result my grades suffered. I don't mean to make excuses for my poor academic performance and I understand it’s my fault, but I would like to explain the circumstances as well as my great interest in the program.
These problems felt crippling, but after working a retail job with a friend, I was able to slowly overcome my personal problems and gained confidence in myself. I later transferred to Oklahoma State University and majored in microbiology. While I was attending OSU, I should have been more selfish. Putting others ahead of myself contributed to the poor reflection of my true potential found within my transcripts. I lost sight of my future goals while time was split between work, school, and taking care my girlfriend at the time and her daughter. Through the difficulties of those years, I emerged as an infinitely better person and after our separation I gained a sense of self-realization. Life is full of tough choices and I feel confident in making decisions quickly and effectively. I returned to Tulsa from Stillwater with a renewed sense of self and a clear view of the future I
After reading your letter I was in a state of shock for a period of time because it is actually a matter of our school's reputation and I really want to look at it in detail to rectify the actual issue so that best possible outcomes can be generated.
I am writing to you in the hopes to appeal the decision of my academic suspension. When I received the news of my suspension I was deeply saddened, but understood completely the circumstances under which the decision was made. My low GPA failed to meet the requirements of the University to remain an active student on campus, which as a result led to my temporary dismissal. In the beginning of my freshman year, I was very excited about coming to Howard University because I had fell in love with the school. Into my first year I took on 18 credit hours convinced that college would be similar to high school. My first semester felt extremely overwhelming, I thought that I could handle my classes, and I convinced myself that I did not need help but I had only proved by the end of that semester that I was wrong. I did not know how to study well, and I could rely on my “smarts” to get me through classes that were rigorous. I enrolled myself without counseling into Spanish 2, calculus 1, and Freshman composition and I struggled the entire way, my pride just would not let me admitted that I needed help. So I lied to myself, I told myself that it would get better or maybe just go away. It did not and after failing my final exams I would be faced with the damage I had done to my, academic career.
In reflection of my application, I believe I know where I went wrong above all: my GPA. With a GPA of 2.750 for Microbiology, I see reason as to why UW-Madison would question it. The university seeks unique individuals out of thousands in hopes of ensuring a vibrant and prestigious community for knowledge. Even though the campus has stated that it has been historically low to reverse an appeal, I feel the ultimate obligation to write this letter and submit it.
Whiting was questioned about the disappearance of Payne, which had taken place about 8 km (5 miles) from Whiting's place of residence. Whiting was routinely questioned as he had been placed on the Sex Offenders Register. The officers left Whiting, but were suspicious of his lack of concern for Payne, something that some of the worst offenders had shown when questioned in connection with Payne's disappearance.[citation needed] When Whiting re-appeared soon after he attempted to drive away in his van, he was stopped by the police and arrested.[citation needed] Whiting spent two days in custody, but a lack of police evidence led to Whiting's release on bail. Although police had found a receipt for fuel from Buck Barn garage near Pulborough,
1. After graduating from high school I decided to move back home with my mother from growing up and living with my grandmother. The main reasons for my decision was to go to a college back home, well long story short I ended up missing what could have been two semesters of college I had missed several deadlines trying my hardest to collect the documents the college needed I had no support and I just came crashing down after missing the deadline for the first semester. I felt like a complete failure and that everything else I was going to try to help myself would result in failure, I did not believe in myself anymore I did not have the confidence that I came with I just gave up. This feeling of failure did not last very long for me after a few days, three at the most I began to say to myself this will give me time to gather all the documents they need and this will give others time to provide me with them, and from there by the time the next semester for colleges came around I was enrolled and ready to go.
I am writing to appeal the decision to dismiss me from Columbia Southern University following Code of Conduct violation. As explained in my apology, I highly regret my conduct of sharing study content on the website. I am deeply saddened and upset by the decision to dismiss me from the university. While I have taken the responsibility of violating the University Code of Conduct, it stresses me that I have to stop my education prematurely.
There are several circumstances that have affected my life significantly, but the one that affected the most was getting rejected from Posse Foundation. This scholarship is a full- ride scholarship, all tuition paid. It consisted of three interviews. Depending on how you do in your first interview you go to the second interview and so on.
The Berman sisters essentially used their expertise to garner influence in the media regarding women’s sexual health. Instead of focusing on the actual biological science used to understand women’s health, the Bermans lean towards a more profit-driven approach. On Jennifer Berman’s website, her Rodeo Drive health center is described as “a boutique practice, outside of academia.” It’s made clear that these women have the perspective of someone who is trying to make as much money as possible from women who are suffering with their sexual health and desires. Like many other issues that are attempted to be fixed through medicalization, low sex drive in women has been projected to be ‘cured’ with random gels and pills, rather than fixing the societal
I decided that I was going to go to Craven Community College and work on finishing the classes I needed to get my high school diploma. Unfortunately, that did not happen either. When I was seventeen, my mother unexpectedly passed away. My mother was my best friend and it was a huge loss to me and the rest of my family. I went through a period of grieving which lasted for almost a year. The subject of school was brought up again and I decided to get my GED from Craven. The fall after I received my GED, I started my first semester. I had to deal with anxiety and this feeling I had that I was a failure. I had to remind myself that I suffered in school because of my mental illness, not because I was stupid. I have recently started my third semester at Craven and I have a 4.0 GPA. I still have to deal with anxiety, mood swings, and stepping up as a mother figure to my little sister, but I have never let any of this bring me down. I have not given up and I never will. I use my past experiences as a way of reminding myself have far I have come, and that I am strong enough to take on anything I want to do in the future. That is why I feel like I would be a good candidate for
As a 2017 graduate of Polo Community High School, it is my pleasure to write a letter of recommendation for my principal Mr. Faivre. Our relationship stretches back to when I was just a sixth grader, as he was my principal for two years at the junior high before transferring to the high school. I remember entering his office when I was in seventh grade for a disciplinary reason. Mr. Faivre gave me an in-school suspension. At first I was upset with him and felt that I was being punished unfairly. He talked me through the reasoning and that this is a learning experience for myself. Now that I look back at it, that punishment was one of the best things that happened to me. After that day, I was never back in his office for a discipline, but
The situation concerning my academic progress was brought about by a combination of multiple decisions I made. During my time on academic probation and the previous summer I reflected on the events that lead to this point in my academic career. In the simplest of terms I over exerted myself as a student. I attempted to remain a working man while taking courses and still attempting to remain involved in the Stephen F. Austin Student community. Through this period of reflection I have created a plan involving the advisorship of a TCC advisor and in the future my stephen F. Austin Advisor.
I will start this letter off by explaining my past actions to fully understand where I came from, where I have gone, and what I have accomplished; since I left the university on an academic dismissal. First, my success has always and will always be dependent on me. The world is tough place and being able to be successful in this world is extremely difficult. When I first went to Colorado State University I had no direction, goals or ideas of what I wanted for myself. I was working a lot as a minor professional Ice hockey referee to pay for something that I was not truly ready to commit to. I learned from a young age no one will support you and success is only dependent on you. As I had no direction and no real understanding of myself to pursue
I am writing this letter to express to you my truly and most humble apologies for what happened on April 5th. I also am going to explain to you how it was wrong and what i will do in the future to meet you expectations of your classroom.
