Throughout my senior year in high school, I was in AP Literature and Composition. It was a difficult class, to say the least. I wrote papers almost every week, as the goal of the class, as I was told, was to prepare us for the AP National Literature and Composition exam.

Although I spent much more time on it, this is likely due to the research I had to put in, as well as the word limit. There are some times where I will admit I should have done more work ahead of time, and this would have been one of those
