To give a little back ground of myself, I currently am a senior undergraduate but have had a rough past two year resulting my financial aid suspension. Any help whether it’s of the information or any grammatical error would be tremendous. The letter isn’t the complete letter, the intro and conclusion have been taken out, but what I wanted others or the financial aid faculty to get out of it is that I messed up and I blame no one else but me and these are the steps I’m making to fix it.
I think it’s best if I put just pure facts, so here it is.
Sample:
The issue of regular attendance first arose during spring 2014. The struggle of attending class would ultimately lead me to dropping all of the classes as of far. My lack of regular attendance was sourced by two things: An ongoing issue with my family (due to the occurrence of stroke of my grandmother) and my stubbornness. Stubbornness because I never ask help whether it is from my professors, my friends, or my family. The continuous absence would lead me to having anxiety and anxiety attacks. The problem only grew, as I made no attempt for improvement. Fall 2015, was the tipping point, where I let myself develop an aggressive gambling habit. In result, my attendance came to the point where I would only attend the exam dates. This only grew during my spring semester, where I made no attempts of showing up to most of my classes and in result finally brought my standing to unsatisfactory.
My family has learned of my mistakes and my problems, to which our trust has been severed. With the growing issues, I’ve taken a step to no longer continue these problems. I’ve had therapy to assist with my anxiety and my gambling addiction. I have become an avid user of online helping sites as well, to which I have built a small community where we share our problems and our attempts on a daily basis. Being open about the problems I’m currently facing and having the support of my family has helped immensely of my anxiety and also in result, I have not gambled once throughout the past three months. How I plan to improve more is to build a community of help at my school. Start making positive relations with my Advisor, my professors, classmates, and my councilor. Attendance is of my biggest issue, to which I have also changed my sleeping schedule and have started working more during the summer to improve my time management.
