<p>Towards the end autumn quarter 2013 I got into minor trouble with the law which affected me financially and mentally. I needed to pay off some legal fees which resulted in me working more than I wanted to in order to make ends meet. As a full time student and working to pay off legal fees really limited the time I had to devote into studying. I also had to complete a program in order to maintain my eligibility to work. Throughout the whole legal process I was severely stressing and was unable to focus on my academics. My financial status did not get any better during winter quarter 2014 as I still had to finish paying off legal fees. Being financially unstable really intervened with my academic performance during the end of autumn quarter and winter quarter as a whole.</p>
<p>However, during spring quarter I was able to complete the program and clear all of my legal fees which alleviated a lot of financial problems and mental stress. I was able to work less and shift my focus towards my academics. Spring quarter 2014 is a good indicator of my academic progress. With no further financial stress I am extremely motivated and confident in my ability to continue my coursework and ultimately finishing my degree this academic school year. I will not let any further situations intervene with my academics. To ensure I stay on track, i have quit my job so I can focus completely on school. I have also met with my advisors and have planned out every course I will have to complete in order to finish my degree.</p>
<p>Attached is documentation verifying the completion of the program. </p>
