I am scared to send an email to a professor at the university I'm currently in requesting whether or not I can repeat the year because I don't want to be kicked out.
From as far back as I can remember, I dedicated my life to the goal of studying robotics engineering. This dream has been my North Star, inspiring me to persevere through countless challenges and invest every ounce of effort into achieving it. Through hard work and determination, I was fortunate enough to secure acceptance to a good university.
However, upon my arrival at university, I found myself already grappling with burnout—a result of the intense preparation it took to even reach this point. This exhaustion slowly but surely took its toll on my academic journey, and unfortunately, matters only escalated during the second semester, leading to a distressing decline in my grades. Alongside these challenges, I also faced mental health struggles and imposter syndrome, both of which further eroded my motivation and self-confidence.
I have failed two modules only in the second semester but been given the opportunity to re-sit the modules. However, due to the lack of time I am confident that I won't succeed the re-submission and fear that they might kick me out and my life is over. I am asking for help because I don't know what to do or whether or not I should send an email in regards to my situation.
