Thank you for getting back to me so quickly.
I did take the mid-term. I'm not sure what my grade was on it, but i did take it. I can still come to the remaining classes. With things clearing up back at home, i will actually be here and i am ready to buckle down and tackle this. If you're willing to work with me, i'm willing to work. Maybe we can set up an appointment for office hours? Thank you so much for your help, i genuinely appreciate it.

Hi Tierionna, I am truly sorry for all the really hard things you've been going through. I, too, hate for you to drop the class. I have a couple thoughts and you let me know your response.
First, I will indeed take your late work. (Did you take the mid-term?)  I would also be willing to give you an Incomplete if need be so you could finish up over the summer. But, if you have not yet been able to read much, I want to be sure you'd have time to read and catch up as the info really is important.  I guess these plans are contingent upon your being able to come to most of the remianing classes. Sometimes students come and get the info but have problems turning assignments in.We can work with that but if you feel you can't come to many classes, that makes it harder. Let me know what you think. I'd be more than happy to work with the book postings too. I know all this isa lot of work. You let me know what you think is best for you Tierionna and meanwhile, take care!  MKE

Hello, This is Tierionna Morris from your 11:00 class. I am going to make this email as straight to the point as i can. I have had a hell of a semester. Much better than last one, if that's possible. I have been working my butt off because last semester i went through a rape trial and got far behind in my classes, had all types of things going on, and basically i ended up hurting my gpa and dropping myself back to graduating a semester late. This semester was much better but i have had horrible family problems. My mom got married over break and then their relationship started to turn abusive and it blew all up this past couple of weeks and my mom got arrested and she had two court dates. On top of the fact that i work 2 jobs to stay here. So basically im struggling in my classes this semester, like hell. In your class especially. I tried to do the book circle postings, but maybe i don't know how to do them, because they don't work. Then i did the work for this semester, but since i had this stuff going on and was sick, etc. I didnt think you'd accept them late. I just don't know if i could still pass the class. Tomorrow is the drop date and i really don't want to drop it, i would like to maybe find out a way to make this class work the rest of the semester. I just don't know if that's even feasible or not. Just checking in to get some advice and direction. Sorry to have to put all of my life out like that, i just had to, so that you can understand what's been going on. I'm really not a slacker. :-)
Hope you had a wonderful rest during break!

Thank You,
Tierionna
