Last year I was academically suspended-- a harsh and serious consequence. Over the past year, I've met with an academic adviser and psychologist to sort out my issues and set realistic, yet challenging goals for myself.
I know that having depression and an unhealthy family are not excuses, but they contributed to why I did so awful academically. I also had health problems (anaphylactic reactions) which affected my academic performance. I have proof regarding that, along with my family problems. I've also made up an academic plan for what I want to do, but I'm worried that the scholastics committee won't accept me. My academic history is somewhat "bipolar"-- there have been times where I do extremely well, and other times where I did awful. I want to be able to convey in my petition that I am very serious about wanting to get back into school and HAVE changed.
Is there anything else I should do to help my case? My academic adv. told me my plan was realistic.

The details you have provided indicate that you do have a serious plan in place and goals. I am sure your advisors will see this and hopefully will allow you to return to school. I don't see why they wouldn't. When students make an effort to review their situation and then set goals to try and make the changes that are necessary, anyone who supports the academia should allow you another chance. They might insist on a probational period, but at least you have a chance to prove yourself. You seem to have all the information they need. Nothing more than your own personal testimony to the committee along with your other documentation and support should be all your need.

this sounds fine to me.. you have a background and history of problems with ur family and urself so they will understand what u went through and were undergoing at the time ... and if you made up an academic plan then they should see that u care enough to want to get back in... i wish u the best of luck.. and theres nothing else u should need to help persuade them =]
