My College problem

A detailed Summary of My College problem

The largest problem that has contributed to my academic difficulties over the past four years here at the University of Maryland, College Park were the majors that I had chosen. Over the years I've switched from biochemistry, to physiology/neurobiology, cell and molecular biology, and nutrition majors. I did this all in the hopes of finding interest in that one particular subject area and choosing a major that would prepare me for medical school. However at the end of my seventh semester I had come to grips with the fact that I really did not want to be a medical doctor down the future. That I had been studying courses to get into medical school just because my parents wanted me to. Becoming a doctor was something my parents wanted more than I did. Even after I had switched majors I still took pre-medical courses just to see if I wasn't making such a drastic switch. I wanted to see if I could still do biology because I still didn't want to disappoint my parents. However I had absolutely no interest in the material and thus failed one course and dropped another course beforehand. This just reinforced my decision to stop taking biology related courses altogether.

Another difficulty that has hindered my performance is time managem

In conclusion upon making a decision, I believe the faculty petition board should take into account the following evidence when judging my case. That I have reconsidered my academic interests at the University of Maryland. That despite the problems I have faced that I have not done so bad in courses for my major. That to date I have seventy-seven credits at this university and dismissing me would just be prolonging the goals I have since I greatly desire to receive a degree from this great institution. I hope that the faculty petition board comes to the same conclusion as I have, that with the help of the summer retention program and the guidance of academic advisors I can do well as a philosophy major at this institution.

However once I made my case about my new found interest and they saw how poorly I had been doing they started to see my point. They are still not so happy that I did not do well in my pre medical studies and that I am not going into medicine but they are more understanding of my decision to switch majors and career choices.

Despite all these problems I would like the faculty petition board to note that my performance in the classes that were required of my major was not so bad. Considering that I had taken three major courses all at the 300 level and considering the difficulty level of the courses
