- You haven't been showing up to your classes recently. You used to be such a hardworking student. What happened? You will not be able to graduate if you get one more absence.
- I know, I sincerely apologize. I recently have been dealing with so many mental health issues. I have no idea what to do. All the assignments are overwhelming. I just needed a little break.
