Appeal deadline questions after an unemployment denial - any advice?

I got a denial letter last week saying I left my job voluntarily, but I was let go as a nurse's aide. I would rather hear the honest version than the polite one. My employer's version of events does not match mine, and I have emails that show it. Did you bring documents or only talk?

Stay calm and stick to facts. Mine lasted about thirty minutes and felt more like a conversation than a trial.

I printed my emails in order and wrote a one-page timeline. The hearing officer kept going back to it.
