Personal Narrative: My Status As A F-1 Student

496 Words2 Pages

To whomever it may concern,
I am writing in regards to reinstate my status as an F-1 student. I am currently attending Brigham Young University-Idaho and perusing a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering. My academic standing at this school is good; and as a full-time student I am working diligently to receive a degree. I previously attended Huston Community College, in which I received my associate’s degree in instrumentation. My F-1 status was terminated without my knowledge. I had done all the necessary and required paperwork for them to forward on my 1-20, however the neglected their obligation, to send on my information. At this point the matter was out of my control; I was misinformed that first they would send it on to my undergraduate school, as I had done everything in my power to transfers my …show more content…

The problem arose when I was preparing to find work on campus, to supplement some of my educational costs. I went to the international office to pick up my I-20 which was not available to me because they didn’t receive it through Sevis. Immediately I was shocked and began to phone the other school because my status was in limbo, or could have already been terminated. I found out that it had been barely terminated by Huston Community College because I was no longer a full-time student there. However, I still fulfilled my requirement of being a full- student through a different Brigham Young University. After hours of back and forth phone calls Huston Community College released my I-20 to Brigham Young University, and the international advisor on their end Mr. Kalackrel admitted that he had not sent the document. I am luckily to go to a school that would work with me to get my I-20 reinstated. I have shown in the past exemplary academic progression, and have never once fallen out of status with my I-20. I have never committed a crime and have been in the United States for approximately five years now. Upholding all the conditions

Not only do I have to prove myself to myself but also to my family, friends, and people at my church who have been supporting me and happy for me that I got into Davis. With this opportunity to go to Davis, I am determined to work my hardest and offer all that I have back to Davis because I simply cannot express how much this opportunity would mean to me. I promise that I will not let my family down, myself down, my church down and most importantly, I would not let the school and the people who gave me a second chance down. I have struggled and cried over this for the longest time and it is hard to express all my emotions in words but I sincerely promise that I will be the best student according to what I am capable of, and I know that I am capable of great things.

Before I enrolled at North Dakota State University, I studied at Normandale Community College where I graduated with a degree in Associates of Liberal Arts. I attended this university from August 2014 to July 2016. The classes that I took at Normandale that transferred for my future major of Construction Management were: Pre-Calc, College Comp II, Applied Calculus, Intro to Statistics, Intro to Psychology, Physical Geology Humanities Elective, Human & Diversity, Wellness, and Fundamentals of Public Speaking. For Fundamentals of Public speaking I got it waived when I transferred to NDSU because I took Interpersonal Communication instead and was officially waived with graduating from Normandale. My time at Normandale Community College was very

Upon graduating high school, I enrolled at the University of Oklahoma with a clear-cut idea of what I wanted to pursue. I declared a major in biology and began my academic career. During this time I was able to continue shadowing, but experienced a slight set back. Like many individuals, it took me some time to adapt to the college lifestyle and my GPA suffered from that. Upon maturation though I was able to get back onto the right path and develop the necessary habits to achieve things like the Dean’s and President’s Honor Rolls for multiple semesters and was able to declare a minor in

To whom it may concern, I am writing this appeal letter with the hope of being reinstated into Texas A&M University. Foremost, it is important for me to acknowledge and understand that this impetuous decision to withdraw should not be taken lightly, and if given the opportunity of reinstatement, would be accompanied by strenuous consequences. With a great deal of determination and self-improvement, I hope to receive a second chance to walk the campus as an Aggie again. When first moving to college station, I had to grasp the concept that missing out on holidays, birthdays, family, and my home in Germany was inevitable. I became aware of how challenging it was to go from being surrounded and loved by your entire family, to moving across the

Growing up as a first-generation Mexican American was a huge advantage for me in that it allowed me to grow up in a culturally diverse community. I learned how to work well with people of all backgrounds and empathize with people from all walks of life. However, while being the first in my family to go to college was a momentous accomplishment, the lack of instruction and guidance lead me to commit many mistakes that could have been easily avoided during my first years at college. My timidity and downright arrogance lead me to believe that I did not need anyone’s assistance and thus I found myself denial that there was a problem in terms of my grades during my first semesters. I have since addressed this issue and have worked diligently to

After this time, I again assumed that I was no longer enrolled in the class and continued to attend all my other classes I was enrolled in during the semester. I did not realize the Chemistry class was not dropped until the last week of classes, and began to explain my situation to both my advisor and the bursar office; both of which explained that there was something to be done and it could be taken care of. That was not the case and the bursar office denied my initial claim. Stating that I needed to drop the class during the deadline and there was nothing to be done, again having dropped the course before the deadline I thought it was all taken care
