I seemed to go by daily routines, but I couldn't help myself noticing that I was in free fall. All these years that my body was at York U, my mind was elsewhere. I was unable to focus the professor's or TA's explanations on materials he/she was presenting. The only time I had little bit of clarity, I got the highest grade ever during my years in York University. The reason behind my academic failure is personal one. I feel guilty talking about it. I used to take of my mother. That is, I cooked, cleaned, took her to doctor to get chemo treatment and made sure that she took her medicine. Furthermore, I kept her company so that she did not feel lonely in that empty apartment. Knowing she was lonely made me uneasy and worrisome. She was going through a lot. When my day was over or i had spare time during lectures, I used to rush home. After long battle with cancer, she passed on better place last year.
Between my mother's health problem and required school activities (assignment, tutorial participation etc.) I end up developing my own health problem. I became diabetic, extremely overweight and developed high blood pressure. Also, I have chronic hepatitis c.
I spent long time grieving. Today, I am at peace with myself. I am taking care of health concern I am not worried, anxious or restless.
As result, I started thinking about my future. My dream has been always to earn a university degree. I hired a retired international studies professor. We explored problems facing developing countries. I did several essays and read few books. For the last two years, I have volunteered a community center where some of their programs targets refugee camps. I will going Nairobi, Kenya to explore progress have achieved.
One of the best thing ever happened to was getting accepted to XX University. Please give me a chance to finish my degree (International Developing Studies).
