yes, I would still like to pursue this career, I did not fail because I’m not smart enough or not hard working- otherwise I wouldn’t get in the program in the first place. I have a 2 year old child and it’s honestly been difficult, especially during this whole covid madness. I gave up so much for this degree that I can’t let it go.
I did petition my dismissal, however, their appeal policy is very strict and you can only appeal based on “procedural grounds”, which means you have to prove that the college did not act according to their guideline when dismissing me. I did consult a lawyer who won similar cases last year, but she told me that the college re-worded their guideline since then and there are no legal grounds to win this case. I still appealed, but the college denied my petition… this decision is final and cannot be appealed anymore.
