I know a lot of people have posted their personal issues in hopes to find advice, so I'd really like to share mine and would appreciate any feedback. I have recently just transferred to a university as a biology major. This is my second semester here and it's going horrible. I had some serious personal family hardships this semester which included my sister dealing with a drug addiction, my best friend passed away, I found out my aunt has lung cancer, and I also discovered that my dad who I thought was passed away isn't actually my dad and my biological father is alive and we've been in contact. It has been anything but easy to concentrate on school and I'm on the fence with passing my classes. My finals are this week and I have to make ridiculously good grades on them in order to pass the classes with low grades(B's and C's). However, I explained my situation to my math teacher and he informed about the option to request a hardship withdraw which is basically the school withdrawing you from your classes without penalty. This withdraw will not show up on my transcript, but I hate to lose all my progress this semester and feel like it was all for nothing. Is it better to have lost a whole semester or explain to dental schools why my grades suffered?
ANY AND ALL ADVICE IS APPRECIATED!
