Emotion

Dear Professor,
As I was looking at my grade on my last test I couldn’t help but think that I didn’t deserve it. You see, the week before the test my dog died, very tragically I must say. She was swimming in the river and drowned. My sweet, precious, very-loved dog was taken from me and she has been on my mind ever since. Every time I picked up my book to study, I thought about picking up my puppy and how much I missed her. It is very upsetting to receive such a low score on my test because I was simply grieving over the loss of a beloved pet. If you could please consider letting me re-take the test when I am in a better state of mind and can concentrate. Thank you so much for your time.

Sincerely,
Railey Hiser
