Hello everyone,
I started the college life in Spring 2016 at California Community College when I was 17 years old. I came from Burma(Myanmar) where system is totally different from U.S. I will reduce the details as much as possible for the convenience of the reader and also try to make sense of the story at the same time in this post. I really need some advice what I should do because I would say that my case is special and unique. The most crucial part to become academic probation status starts from Fall 2016. I am studying Computer Science and being that major is part of the reason too. My college is semester system and minimum 12 units and maximum 19 units.
Spring 2016
I had 2 bad home stays. 1st one threaten our lives and had to find 2nd one. 2nd one didn't keep its promise even though I have already paid for a whole month and she said to leave the house next day without giving prior notice after 2 weeks stay due to high electricity usage. I was almost homeless for 2 weeks during that time because I was underage and no hotel or anyone would let me stay even I can pay as much as they ask. Because of accommodation problem, I got only 2.8 GPA at that semester for 13.5 units. I have volunteered as a Math tutor at college MRC just in this semester.
Summer 2016
I did took 3 classes in 2 months period and got 3.65 GPA for 10 units. But on the final exam day, I got the serious car accident on Uber just 15 mins before the final exam. Emergency services came, but I called another Uber and went to college to sit the test because I thought I would get F if I don't go even I have serious pain on my whole body, especially head. I went to urgent care as soon as exams finish. The doctor suggest to rest at lease a month to recover my concussion and said that she could write the letter for my college to take medical leave. I refused her suggestion by saying that I have Fall semester in 2 weeks and I cannot miss the classes or the whole semester will go bad and cannot have good grades. In addition, I have to graduated ASAP because I want to show my mom that I graduate before she dies(she might not be alive long enough to see me graduate due to her health condition). My mental ability and capability were so slow like even take 5 sec to calculate what is 6*8 where it is suppose to get instant answer normally.
Fall 2016
I took 23 units by submitting petition form. I thought myself I could manage to get all A until I got the car accident and aim for either B or C. But unexpected condition came up in Discrete Math and Linear Algebra. Discrete Math professor never really explain in class other than telling rude words to students for his happiness and making other student way of solving his way. I got almost no point in every exam because he doesn't agree with or like my method of proofing Math(I know my methods are right because I go through with Chegg tutors). Linear Algebra professor does not good at explaining lessons. But I thought it is easy so I focus more on Discrete because I thought I need more study to get good grades. At result, I accidentally got F in Linear Algebra. Also F in Discrete because the professor have kind of personal issue and not giving points for correct answer. GPA 1.45
Spring 2017
I took 4 classes drop one and total 12 units. Got all F. Because I got the mental issue like kind of depression and this psycho thought that I cannot pass the class no matter how much I try due to last semester professor. My sleep circle was opposite too. And somehow, my concussion effects appear again. I worked as Math Tutor in college Math Resource Center just this semester to get SSN. There is a time in this semester I thought of suicide myself and gave up my life even I have always thought of being mentally super strong person and always disgust suicide people. I think it is because my aim to transfer to one of the U.C in Fall 2017 (including making my mom wishes to see me graduate before she dies) were destroyed by Discrete Math professor, and I felt guilt for my mom.
Summer 2017
Took a holiday brake and travel East Coast to rejuvenate myself to makes good grades again in Fall 2017.
Fall 2017 (Overall GPA at start: 1.89)
I retook Discrete Math with last Fall Linear Algebra professor because there are only 2 professors teaching that class in 3 community colleges and another one is same rude professor like last Fall. This time professor is good at teaching Discrete and I learned a lot. But I don't allow good enough exam time limit because I think he wants to cover lots of topics and doesn't have enough class time. He gave the whole class time to finish the exam and sometimes even wait extra time to finish the exam last Fall. This Fall, he gives only 1 hr and 15 mins to complete the exam while the class time is 2 hours. He teaches lessons in the rest 45 mins. I am supposed to get B but limiting time length makes me get between C and D each exam as I couldn't finish up all questions. For Linear Algebra, there is anther professor at other college and currently get A. For Chemistry at introduction level, the grade is around C too because of time issue. Even though I have learned up to Organic Chemistry level in my high school, I couldn't get at lease B because the professor only gave 2 hrs 30 mins while it is supposed to gives 3 hrs. 3 hours is daily class time and I know why he should give 3 hours. I have taken similar national Chemistry exam in my country and they gave 3 hours limit at this level and this much of questions.
Assuming 3 units A, 4 units C, 5 units C, GPA 2.5, overall GPA after is 2.195
Assuming 3 units A, 4 units D, 5 units C, GPA 2.17, overall GPA after is 2.03
I am just afraid of not getting over 2.0 GPA overall and my F-1 visa will be out of status after this semester if the professor gave me D in that Discrete Math because he is a person who would give D for 69% of total grade for this class I got after semester where he could plus 1% more and make C.
In contrast, only Spring 2017 is problem from my side and all other academic grades were affect by not me. But I have to take responsibility anyway and will get visa revoked and kicked out of U.S. I heard that U.S Embassy never give visa again if something like that happen, a policy just for my country. Even for visa length, they give only 11 months maximum where people from China, India get at lease 5 years to max 10 years. So, basically, people from our country has pretty much disadvantage. What I want to mean is that, I have been a good citizen for 2 years now, obey every laws, have 720+ credit, volunteer, etc... and if my education ends because of unfortunate circumstances, my whole life will end because I won't get admitted as F-1 student again by U.S Embassy.
Please let me know my every possible options to do if I am unfortunate at the end of this semester. Leaving U.S is not an option. I did got admission letter from other university before for this Fall even I have been in academic probation since at the end of Spring 2017, but I did continue at my current college instead of transferring. But I haven't apply any universities for coming semester. I would probably get admission form that private university that offered me admission before but that is my last option.
Thanks,
