Need help on Financial Aid Appeal?

I’m writing this because I got disqualified from receiving financial aid. While, I knew the first year of school would be challenging, I still wasn't ready for the courses that I chose. I have always wanted to go to college and get my degree to reach my educational goal.

In fall 2009 I chose many difficult courses, and I didn’t put much effort into it but I just keep sustaining what I do so I can pass that class. But when midterm was around I tried to do well on midterms but I didn’t do so well and I thought withdrawing it would be the best solution. After getting below 2.0 gpa I started to think what is going on with me with academics. My parents always expect me to do well in school and that motivates me to do well in school. I just don’t try hard and put enough time on school work enough to reach that goal. My parents don’t really support me so I rely on my financial aid and I knew I had to make a change to regain it back.

I started to make plans for next semester so I can get back on track to be a successful student and to regain my financial aid eligibility back.
1. I will balance the course choices better.
2. I will manage my time wisely and put more time on school work.
3. I will get help when I don’t understand the materials in class.
4 Find tutoring if things get complicated.
5. Complete classes C or better.

I understand the expectation better now and I am looking forward to pass all my classes this spring. I been doing well lately in my spring classes, with all passing grades and I think I made a huge improvement and my mindset is to pass the classes at the end of the semester. I am satisfied with what I done so far but to fulfill my education plan I request this committee to give me another chance to prove that I can still accomplish my goals and be successful on upcoming semesters.

Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to explain my financial circumstances. I look forward to hearing about your decision.
