Improved Essays
I request to take AP Chemistry because I want to major in Biomedical Engineering. By taking AP Chemistry, I will be a step closer for preparation of my future profession.

I also have taken AP United States History as a freshman along with seven other courses. Because of this, I understand the demanding nature of these AP courses and the preparation needed to do well. Next year I plan to take three more classes, including two more AP classes, AP Calculus and AP Statistics, one regular English class, and one free period. However, math is a subject I excel in, so I do not believe I will

    “Why I Chose Southwest” As a homeschooled high school senior, I am unable to take Advanced Placement courses, which are college-level classes taken at a high school. Students earn college credits by taking an exam at the end of the year. To remedy this, I decided to register at Southwest Tennessee Community College for dual enrollment classes. I chose Southwest for a multitude of reasons: to complete my high school education, to provide challenging courses in preparation for college, and to grant me college credit. I opted to take Pre Calculus, English Composition, and Anatomy & Physiology this semester.…

    I will be taking general chemistry and biology—both are the foundation of their field. When I master the material taught in those classes, I will be better prepared for my future courses in chemistry and biology. Since I was in elementary school, my father emphasized the importance of understanding the material rather than just knowing and getting the correct answer. I followed his advice, but I did not actually see the difference between knowing and understanding until spring 2014.…

    I'm glad to help you! I probably spent 30 min out of class time on AP Physics and Chem-- I honestly just worked really hard in class and did my HW/reviewed my notes the night before tests. That's totally dependent on how good your teachers are and your own natural ability in the sciences. I did a minimal amount of outside work for Lang, only really for projects because we did all our essays in class. APUSH took like hours each night, because it was a lot of reading and I'm a slow reader.…

    An educational opportunity I have recently taken advantage of is the open access to AP courses my high school provides.

Before choosing my classes I looked up all the courses recommended for people wanting to become a dentist, the career I plan to pursue and chose those. It’s quite a challenge, but I’m glad I’m taking these courses.…

    It was back and forth for a while. My guidance counselor would call me down to his office to discuss the idea that my high school was going to cut the AP chemistry class for the following year and I had to pick a new science class for my junior year. When I asked why he told me that there were only eleven people signed up for the class and that they wanted fifteen to keep it open. To be fair it was understandable that most people would not want to sign up. Many found honors chemistry to be incredibly difficult and would be happy to be rid of it once they finished their final in June.…
