As stated by the policy, I failed to maintain a B- in two of my classes as reflected on my transcripts. There were personal and family commitments that I inadvertently allowed to take priority over this class last semester. I am truly sorry and hope that I can prove to you that I am student worthy of another chance.
With the last semester over, I feel that my life has come to a better balance with stability and order. I am almost half way through the current semester and I am taking steps to make sure that I can be the most successful in this program. My goal for graduation is as follows:
• Taking better initiative by completing assignments

    In the BIO 14 Lab, we attempted to design a oviposition experiment that would tell us something about the relative behavior of two variants of a beetle species Callosobruchus maculatus (SI – originating from South India & BF – originating from Burkina Faso). The specific question being asked in our experiment is: How does the availability of the preferred bean type affect the oviposition strategy (measured by the number of eggs on each bean) of female SI and BF beetles? Most of our group members actually arrived this question at first independently and upon further discussion found that we all were looking to answer the same question. I arrived at this question as when looking that preferred seed of the two beetle types were so vastly energetically…

    To whom it may concern: This letter is to request my reinstatement to University of Maryland University College. My poor academic performance was not just a bad reflection of myself but also of what knowledge I should have been able to show I learned from taking intriguing classes. I have never been a person to give up and usually go full force with anything I would like to pursue. This may not be the best description; however, I believe I may have hit my own version of a mid-life crisis.…

    As I am writing this letter, I recognize my chance of successfully appealing is statistically against my favor. Like many students who received the same letter, I did feel disappointed. With a beautiful campus situated a few miles from the beach, with world-class professors and a learning environment capable of inspiring students to be greater, I can understand why there is high demand to attend such a remarkable institution. From visiting the school, I see how this campus can be any student's dream school and this is why I cannot squander the opportunity to write this candid letter. I have to give this one more shot.…

Most people don’t, so it comes as a shock to one day have something that you’ve been blessed with your until life taken from you. No longer is the simple, thoughtless act of walking so insignificant.

    Texas A & M Reflection

    The change from a life completely dependent upon my parents to a life where I am solely responsible for myself and all my actions was perhaps the most challenging aspect of this semester. I have come to realize how much my experiences inside and outside of my classes will shape me throughout my time at Texas A&M. Since my 4-year plan has been shortened to a 2-year plan due to my determination to graduate early, I have come to the realization that I need to mature at a much faster pace. During my first two months at Texas A&M, I began to have second thoughts about wanting to graduate early, because i was unsure if I would be able to keep up academically and socially. I realized the vast amount of maturity and responsibility I would need to approach my decisions with and many times I felt quite overwhelmed. My personal feelings in the beginning of the semester really engendered self-doubt, but were all part of the drastic change I was not accustomed to.…

    I could not agree more with contemporary blogger Teal Swan’s quote that “We do not fear the unknown; we fear what we think we know about the unknown”. Although I would not describe myself as particularly timorous, as I left my family in the Heathrow departure lounge I admit I had a few reservations: How am I going to live in another country? Will I fit into the Babson campus? Will I make friends? What am I going to do with my family 3,000 miles away?…

    In my first semester of college, I have been exposed to so much and I have learned so much. Learning Basic Medical Science has allowed me to learn a variety of new things that I had never even heard of before or done before like immunohistochemistry, solving case studies, and T1/T2 translational research. Immunohistochemistry was really interesting and complex. At first, I overlooked it because I thought it was my over my head and not applicable to me at the moment. Then, over time I noticed that we talked about it several class periods, so clearly it had some significance to us currently.…
