Recommended: Challenges of college students today

I am writing this letter in regards to my financial aid suspension due to unsatisfactory academic progress and to having taken more than 90 credit hours. I am hoping that you will reconsider this decision in light of extenuating circumstances which interfered with my ability to be a successful college student.
I have always been a great student in school. I got good grades all throughout high school. I maintain to manage and keep that momentum going throughout my college career. Fall 2011 was my first year in college. Though it was a bit challenging, my great point average was outstanding. For my second semester in college, the courses become more challenging. For the most part, I did pass all my classes. Summer of 2012, Mountain State University, …show more content…

I started off well but things got so complicated with exams. I studied for the exams but some parts I just didn’t understand. When the exam comes, I performed badly with answers I should’ve gotten but forgot many of the materials I studied the day before the exam. I did not know much about the exam format in college and that makes it hard for me to study and the lack of knowledge about the subject got me worried a lot. I didn’t ask professor for assistance or get tutored when I needed it but instead I chose to study and figure things out myself. Therefore, I end up with a grade that is not passing. Due to these circumstances listed above, I have been put on financial aid suspension. Without financial aid, I will be unable to continue my education because I need the funds to pay for my supplies, books, fees and personal expenses. If I receive funds from the government I will have enough funds to pay for my education rather working hard for it on a job that would make things more complicated. For example, the number of hours I have for school would decrease because of the hours needed for work has to increase in order to receive good paying. Also, that would put me more back in my education and I don’t want that to happen. I want to be successful in life and make something better for myself. I know how it feels to struggle financially because I’ve been in that situation all my life. Academic is my first priority

    I am completely embarrassed about that. I know I should have forced myself, no matter how tired I was, to finish everything. And not just do it to get it done, which I also did a lot, but to do things and give it my best effort and spend as much time as possible fixing mistakes and making it as best as I can. Something in these past years that has tripped me up the most is forming and withholding a connection with most of my teachers. At times I am not the best at making “friends” with my teachers even though I know that is a very important aspect of my school

  • Personal Narrative: My Transition To College

    244 Words  | 1 Pages

    My transition to college was successful, but it was nonetheless one of the most stressful times in my life. Unlike many of my peers at Saint Louis University, my rural high school experience did not truly prepare me for the academic rigors of college. Despite extensive preparation, I performed rather poorly on the first round of exams. While I didn’t fail any particular exam, my performance was seriously lacking. I knew that getting C’s on exams would not serve me well in the pursuit of my dream of becoming a physician. I remember feeling, for the first time in my life, that I was unintelligent and incompetent. I was also heavily fatigued from the excessive hours of studying, which I felt were necessary to reconcile the problem. I managed to

  • Asking For Help

    1227 Words  | 3 Pages

    After I took the self-assessment and received a low score in the area of interdependence, I began considering options for overcoming my hesitation so that I may become a successful student. The first strategy is to learn that I cannot do everything by myself. Typically, I never ask for assistance in my personal or professional life, and that gives me cause for alarm now that I have enrolled in college full-time. By continuing this behavior, I sometimes resent those that I love because they appear to be getting by with doing hardly anything, when in all fairness, I am the only one to blame. In addition, when I am unsure of how to do something, I am hesitant to ask for help because I feel that makes me seem ignorant or weak. By utilizing the first strategy I have to learn to delegate some responsibilities so that I may concentrate on doing well in all my classes. I also need to start asking for help when I am unsure of something in class so that I will understand the subject matter fully. If I do not, my grades will be affected and that could hinder my chances of being accepted into the nursing program.

  • Barriers And The Pursuit Of Higher Education

    849 Words  | 2 Pages

    The first and probably the biggest barrier that fogs a student’s pathway to post-secondary education is the financial standpoint of it. Attending a college will require financial aid, funding, and/or working while attending classes. Different states attain different approaches to help students receive financial aid from that college. Many students may feel as if they aren’t able to attain college because they aren’t able to budget the money for tuition or do not think they are eligible for financial aid. “Clearly, along with the high stress levels that comes with the realization that in tough times, affording college is no given and there are things that trump fancy windshield stickers from brand-name colleges” (Applebome 7). Another problem with education is that if a student is not personally paying for their tuition they tend to not take their classes as seriously and that could cause their parents to budget more money than they already have had or make their kids liable to pay the tuition in the future in they do not pass their classes. However, a study shows that that students in receipt of financial support report that it has enabled them to stay on course and that they consider withdrawing less than their peers (HEFCE and OFFA by ARC Network).

    I was sometimes slower at completing a written paper or an assignment. In open discussions about material we had just read, things weren’t sticking with me after reading to feel confident to raise my hand and be active with discussions. I would have to search for answers in my memory for some time. Sometimes answers just weren’t retrieved at all. I became frustrated in school often, and eventually developed a negative attitude toward school. I struggled a lot with this because I knew I could do better. Every day I prepared myself for failure because I lacked the tools and strategies that I needed to succeed in school. Granted, I got by, but I could have been a much better student. I earned low B’s and C’s, but should have been A’s.

  • My Academic Journey

    1272 Words  | 3 Pages

    Living up to my resolution, I joined several clubs, both in and out of school and academic and recreational. I also met some of my very best friends in high school. Achieving all of this, friends, memberships to academic clubs and good grades, made up my first successful experience in high school. I was driven by the years in middle school and the promise that I made to myself at the end of eighth grade. Throughout my under classmen years I exceled in all subjects and thoroughly enjoyed the clubs I had joined. I think my downfall for the last two years of school was that I took for granted my good grades and as my classes got more rigorous I didn’t change the way I learned the material, but continued on the same path that I had been following my entire academic career, even when my grades were slipping slightly. Halfway through my senior year, I realized I needed to change the way I was learning the curriculum my instructors were teaching. I’ve always been the type of student to take good notes or listen to a lecture and understand everything the first time around, as was the case in elementary school and middle school. But my more rigorous classes proved to be a challenge for me and I did not know the proper way of learning the material on my own. I started by asking more questions in class and then going to my friends for help on subjects I didn’t understand. After many questions and after school tutor
