Retroactive Appeal Report

Two days before my senior year, I was involved in a car accident. I was in absolute shock; I couldn’t believe what just happened. A man turned into the wrong lane and hit us head on. I thought about what happened in total disbelief and realized I could have died due to the actions of a negligent driver. I jumped out of the passenger side of the car and screamed. After I calmed down, I asked myself what my name, address and phone number was to make sure I knew who and where I was. My mom got out of the car and I saw her arm covered in glass and blood. I then saw my sister in the backseat screaming and crying. It felt horrible witnessing them going through this traumatic experience.

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.

It was last year around christmas time. My mom was stressed out working overtime trying to pay for christmas gifts for everyone in the family and cooking meals. She basically overworked herself to the max. While she was at work the day before christmas, there had been a leak in her break room where she works. She had been complaining about it and she had asked someone to come in and fix, but they never did. She went on break and well she slipped and fell on the knee she had surgery on in January . She was in excruciating pain and the ambulance had to come and get her. She was out for 2 weeks but she wasn’t sent to therapy. She tried to go on her own and they would treat her but insurance would cover her injury because our primary care physician

I am writing to request an appeal of my current dismissal status at Argosy University. I am enrolled in the Associate of Arts in Psychology degree program and I have failed the course English 101- Composition 1, due to a substance abuse problem that I have addressed by joining a program. Up until my first attempt with English 101- Composition 1, my grade point average was a 4.0. I was proud of myself being that it was my first time to ever make it on the President's List. I had so much satisfaction because not only I am doing something that I loved and enjoyed, but over the first few courses, I was able to recognize the knowledge that I have gained and use it in real life situations.

The night of December 9, 2011 was easily one of the worst of my life. It all started before I woke. At around 2:30 in the morning, my grandfather (Pepaw), who resided in Keyser, West Virginia, had fallen very ill. My step grandmother called my father to let him know that his father needed emergency surgery and asked him to travel to Keyser Hospital as soon as possible. After the first surgery was completed the doctors at the the Hospital determined that he needed an additional emergency surgery that they were not equipped to preform. At 5:30 A.M. he was Medevaced to Morgantown, West Virginia for the next surgery. After he arrived, the Morgantown Physicians assessed his vitals, and in consultation with the Keysers doctors, they determined that Pepaw was not strong enough to undergo the second

On August 27, 2005 it was my dad’s birthday and all he wanted for his birthday was to leave for hurricane Katrina but my mother was persistent on staying for the hurricane because she had a nursing service and she couldn’t leave her patient and she thought the hurricane wasn’t going to be so devastating but of course she was wrong. My dad was always paranoid about natural disaster show he watch the news all day. About midnight my dad had awakens my mom and gave her ultimatum we either ride it out or we go that Sunday morning. Of course my mother was sassy and told him off for waking her up in the middle of the night but she came to her senses and decided to leave. Flash-forward eight hours and I am waking up from my sleep. As soon as I awaken

It was 1992, I had saved $1250, and I decided to take my brother up on an offer to move from California to Arizona and rent a room from him for a few months for a change of pace and location while I thought things throughout my future. During that time I looked at many different career paths, I thought about joining the Air Force, working construction, but eventually came to the conclusion that furthering my education with a degree would be my best option. My parents had offered to let me live at home while I was in school, so I thought I would stay with my brother for another couple months, then head back to California. A couple weeks after coming to this conclusion we received a call from our parents telling us my dad had been diagnosed with a brain

To this date, it was the worst phone call of my life. I was informed my father and stepmother were in a motorcycle accident in Florida where they retired for the winter. My stepmother was expected to have a painful, long recovery, as she suffered from multiple fractures to her face, a dislocated jaw, and pelvis that was broken in 3 places, plus many small cuts and bruises. My father, however, had not awakened after the accident and we should get to the hospital in Florida as soon as possible. My brother, his wife, and I booked flights and we were on our way they next day. It was not how I expected to spend Easter. The next four days were a blur. We met with doctors and nurses and didn’t feel like we had any answers to the real condition of our father. We knew of his injuries but not what they meant to his future. He had bruising between the hemispheres of his brain, on the outside of the brain, bruising on his brainstem, and multiple open fractures on the left side of his body. I couldn’t get any of his doctors to tell me their opinion on his prognosis. They would only say, “we need another 48 hours”. The only thing I could think was, “if you knew my dad, he would hate this. You life flighted him, now he’s hook to machinery to breath, and all he would have wanted was to have the ambulance run him over and put him out of his misery”. We knew my father’s wishes and they didn’t look anything like

I think because of this event, I’ve started to force myself to go to school no matter how awful I feel because I was always told school comes first before anything. My goal was to just survive through the pain. This patterned continued of sleepless nights, complaining of headaches, and a constant dull pain in the side of my head. My teachers and my parents were fed up with my whining about it and my constant crying that just finally, I believe it was 3 days later, but it felt like a week before they took me to the hospital. However, none of the hospitals my father took me to have the equipment to treat me or didn’t take our insurance this was at least 4 different hospitals in the Detroit

A couple years ago I had a brain tumor. In 2014 my whole life changed. I took 5 months off from school. Because I had a speech impediment which means, couldn't speak because my frontal lobe was damaged. Also, I suffered paralysis to my whole right side. I could not talk or walk. The surgery took 14 hours, my parents waited the whole time in the waiting room until I got out.

Everyone has experienced a difficult time in their lives either by making a difficult desition or by experiencing something. My most difficult experience was when my father was having brain procedure done to fix an arteriovenous malformation or is also known by AVM (malformation of arteries and veins). It all started in the summer of 2016 my dad suffer a stroke. He dad was home alone, and knew that something was not right, he was able to dial the first contact on his phone, it so happen to be my sister and, was able to tell her that something was wrong, as she rush over across town to check on my dad she found him on the couch not being able to move his left extremities. She rushed him to the nearest hospital, after running many tests they found he had a hemorrhagic

Hello everyone from the Jeanne E. Shader Endowed Scholarship foundation I just wanted to say thank you so much for investing in my education this means so much me because I am putting myself through school and it is a lot harder than I imagined and I never thought that I would have too. During my senior year of high school my dad left and took a lot of furniture from the house and all the money in the shared bank account that he and my mother shared. A few months after all this happened my mom started to get sick every night to the point I couldn’t sleep because I was so worried about her one night it was storming really bad and my mom walked in my room and asked me to take her to the hospital I was terrified because my mom avoids the doctors usually so I knew something had to be wrong it was also a day after
