Letter Writing
Please help me!
Hi, I am an international student. I would like to write a petition to drop a course I took long time ago. Could anybody please edit, correct my grammar, or make any suggestion??
"Dear Members of the Petition Committee:
I would like to request approval to drop CHEM 1500 Introduction to Chemistry, which I took back in Fall 2007. I took this course in my first year, and I was not able to handle the academic transition from high school to University very well. Especially because I just moved to the new city and started living on my own for the first time, so I struggled transitioning to the new environment as well as balancing between my personal life and academic work.
Also, Because of those circumstances, I was very confused and, was not able to figure out what study I was interested in or I was good at. but by taking this course, it made clear that science was not my strength or interest.
After taking many different courses throughout 2years, I came to realize that I was very interested in Sociology, decided to change my major to Sociology, and I was very happy with my learnings.
As a result of this situation, I would appreciate your approval of my petition.
Thank you for your kind attention to this matter "

I do not think "drop" is the word you want. Normally that applies to classes you are currently taking. There is probably an official term, but you could just say "delete" or "remove" from your record.
