Voting Question: Is this financial aid appeal letter convincing?

I am requesting financial aid appeal from my university and have to write a letter with supporting documents. It's easy to get the documents but I need help with my letter. In addition I'm meeting with my dean and major advisor to attach a schooling plan to my letter. Any help is appreciated, thanks. :) --- My name is X and I am an undergraduate requesting for appeal for financial aid. I was informed that it was suspended because I have not met the Satisfactory Academic Progress for the past two years. In the fall quarter of 2008, I was hospitalized and diagnosed with Crohn’s disease, which caused me to withdraw from school early on in the quarter, leaving me a GPA of 0.0. This medical problem of mine easily has serious flares when I am under stress, and I have to receive medicine every six weeks to keep my condition stable. In the fall quarter of 2009, I received a 1.92 GPA due to poor decision=making. I originally wanted to change my major to Biological Sciences, but by the middle of the quarter, I could not handle the classes and my fluctuating health began to flare under the stress. By the end of winter quarter of 2010, I had to be hospitalized again from a Crohn’s flare, which forced me to withdraw again, this time from spring quarter of 2010. During the time of my withdrawal, I decided to take some classes at X College over the summer to see what major I should pursue. After further contemplation, I took French 1 and Cultural Anthropology and received As in both classes: this shows that I do have a strength in linguistics, which is also a major that I became interested in. My goal is to graduate with a degree in linguistics as soon as possible so I can graduate on time, but I need financial aid to help me since I cannot easily afford to attend school. I understand that financial aid is a privilege, but I am serious about my education. Thank you for considering my appeal. If I can be of any further help on the appealing process, please do not hesitate to contact me as soon as possible. I sincerely apologize for any inconveniences.Edit: after people have told me stress problems might not make the letter appealing, I decided to edit it. Please do honestly tell me what you think. :) New paragraph edit: In the fall quarter of 2009, I received a 1.92 GPA due to poor decision-making. I was still in the process of wanting to change my major and took classes that I thought would interest me. When I decided to take science-related courses, I ended up getting low scores. By the end of winter quarter of 2010, I had to be hospitalized again from a Crohn’s flare, which forced me to withdraw again, this time from spring quarter of 2010. During the time of my withdrawal, I decided to take some classes at the Santa Rosa Junior College over the summer to see what major I should pursue.

Resolved Question: Black people voted for obama because?

I know this is old news but I'm doing it for a blog and I want opinions. The argument is "Black people voted based off skin and ethnicity". I'm a 19 year old male and I'm black/Mexican (aka black). I know for a fact that my mom voted for Obama based off his ethnicity because she has always voted republican until Barack came along and she all of sudden turns democrat, liberal, "praise Obama". She denies that but it's obvious to me. I'm very young and i'm not very "school smart" but I do try my best to take note of my surroundings and I'm very interested in how people work, as far as ethnicity and culture is concerned. America is kinda like a competition (capitalism), why can that same concept not be used for cultural and ethnic reasons. Traditionally, White men have always been on top of the "ethnic hierarchy" (this is true and there is nothing wrong with that). The way I see things, America has this competition between ethnic minorities, sexual orientation, religion etc. The competition is viewed by other countries who are influenced by the American way of life, who are not as financially blessed (Tis y we have many immigrants). This competition is "who can get closes to the white man's status" and so far we as African Americans or Mexicans are kinda lacking behind when compared to our European American and Asian American brothers and sisters. I've come to the conclusion that YES Obama got the majority African American vote because of his ethnicity but in "black defense", if he was Asian, Gay, Hispanic,a women, Muslim, whatever, he would've gotten the majority vote of those citizens who identified with him. No one wants to admit this because they don't want to be seen as racist. However most people don't even know what the word racist means, you are racist if you see your group as superior and others as inferior. Your are NOT racist if you voted for McCain, are a conservative, didn't put a minority in your movie, etc. In conclusion, America is dog eat dog place based on scales. For example, we are all Americans and we compete with other countries who are equal with our financial success. On a lower scale, we are Americans who compete with other Americans based on financial success and on a even lower scale, we are Americans who are divided into certain ethnic groups, gender and religion who compete with other Americans who do not identify with our same ethnic group, gender, religion etc. I wanna study anthropology when i get to college so I'm very interested in our big "melting pot" feel free to disagree but please don't insult.Jack m, I said that already, please read more

Resolved Question: Questions about Jobs, College, and Future.?

Hey to all those college goers who is just trying to find what they want to do, well here's my issue. I am a person who changes her mind constantly, and that stresses me out so much, because I know I have to chose something. I am at the last year of college, I have majored in Anthropology, I love Anthropology, but I am depressed, because I don't know what to do with it. What I have never changed my mind on, are these interests: Photography, Archaelogy, Film, Culture. I recently found out two years ago about Anthropology, so I switched from Journalism (because I didn't feel for Journalism) to that, and now almost graduating, like others I don't know what to do, those up above are my four interests, so what to do to find a job. I have thought, that Cultural Anthropology could work for advertising, so maybe I could work for an magazine shooting pictures of archaeology and culture, maybe that's my solution. I just want something that will make me happy, and keep me financially stable. I'm also not sure to go to Grad School, because of money, if I will get in, or this GRE exam I heard you might have to take. more

I want to declare a major in cultural anthropology, but I'm not sure what sorts of career possibilities this would open up for me. I'd ask the advisors at my college, but, of course, it's summer, so I can't do that. I'd go the Bachelor of Arts tract, so it wouldn't be a science degree, if that matters.Thanks for the responses so far. I'm pretty much hearing exactly what I expected, haha. I'm mostly studying anthropology because I find it fascinating and I want to learn as much as possible. I'm not going to school with the purpose of graduating directly into a field. I'm going to school because I want to spend the time until I get a job learning something I consider worth learning. I'm also going to either minor or double major with Statistics, because I feel that a stats degree WILL help me get a job, in virtually any field. But, like my anthropology degree, it will be an AB, rather than a science degree. more
