This isn't a legal or court case. I am turning this letter into my advisor/instructor with the required assignments with hopes of something better than a D for a grade.
I understand that I do not need to spell out that it was menatl health issues, but at the same time I do because of past history.
I think now that it has had some time to sit I might look at it agian and try to revise it some.
I understand peoples concern about my health affecting my "work," but that is what really angers me right now. I told my advisor a week before my termination that I was seeking help, but getting no response from the dr, and then when issues forced me to miss agian I was terminatted. (this wasn't the fist tiems I had missed) The part that really angered me was that I told them that I was going to be seeing a dr the next day about the issues and if he felt that I should not continue or that it was not safe that I would let them know, but they refused to listen. The things is like I said in the letter, the kids were keeping me positive! I was happy when I was at the center with the kids.
I didn't let my feelings get in the way of my work.
I have always been a "stuffer" so it is easy for me to not allow my feelings to get out of hand when with the kids because I don't want them to know that I am upset. Only once in my life have kids ever seen me upset to the point that I couldn't "stuff-it in" that was the day after I found out that my littel brother had been arrested for METH. I was shocked, scared and upset. I really didn't know what to do so I cried, ALOT. I wasn't able to take time off because I was working at a summer camp. Luckily I was an office person, so I hid alot in my office, but when I had to go out it was hard and the kids could tell that something was wrong. That was elementary kids....I work with pre-schoolers who have a keener sence of when things are wrong, and they never seemed to catch on that something was wrong.
I guess what i am trying to say is that I know when to stay away, when I would be dangerous to the kids.

I went thru alot of denial during my intership as I was warned several times, but wasn't ready to listen/accept.

Let me know if there are any other sugestions.
