am i mad? i just sent this to the reception at my college.
Hello. My name is Katherine Towers and I go to college. Im doing AS levels at the moment. I'm 18 and I have attempted 6th form twice already, and even though i achieved good grades I ended up leaving because of stress. Basically so far this term I have totally screwed up.
I was so focused on trying my hardest to work this time. I was even looking forward to college. As soon as I started so many things started going wrong in my life. My brother contracted cancer, my dad had a serious heart attack, I had huge relationship problems and problems with my mum at home, basically everything and I also had a string of illnesses which made me miss school. I had two ear infections at once, my throat was swolen all the time and then I got the mumps. Now my ear has gone up again, with my throat, which never went down. And I apologise and also know this is quite personal to write to reception but im writing this because I do not want to ruin my chances of getting good grades and I have no idea who to write to about this.
Every time I try to sit down and work I cant. Sometimes I dont even turn up to college because I just cant get out of bed and face the world. I have done hardly any coursework and its all piling up and i dont know what to do. The time has come when I have to admit to myself that I am stressed and I need help, I can't do this on my own. Is there anyone in the school that can try and help me get back on track with my school work. I really dont want to screw up yet again. Please if there is anything you can suggest I would be very grateful as this is my very last chance.
thanks, please reply to my address which is xxxxxx
