Gaps in Education & Additional Academic Comments
Gaps in Education: View Personal Statement
Y - I had gap in my education because I was only working. during various periods in my life I found going to
school to be extremely challenging. However, with age and maturity I am able to handle work and stress load
better.
Additional Academic History Comments:
In the past my grades suffered because issues hindering my concentration and ability to focus. With a
renewed commitment and the use of counselling and medication I have found a new sense of hope because I
am able to cope with my adversities better and I have found a new way to approach my studies and learning.
I believe my grades reflect a more committed and confident student better able to handle a more challenging
schedule. The grades at Philander are inaccurate I withdrew shortly after I enrolled. In process of changing to
