Pros And Cons Of Being An Ap Class

Decent Essays
In everyday life one is faced with challenges, for students have a constant battle because they are going through the same occurrences week after week. This year being junior year the most challenging would have to be AP language. This is the case because being in an ap class was not an aspect I was accustomed to. I would do most of what was asked I believe the reason for there to be more struggle in comparison to the rest of my classes was because I would not do high quality work. When I dedicate time and remember how important a class really is I know I can improve. A weakness that has various times made me do more work than needed is procrastination. An essay i am most proud of would have to be an argumentative essay that was timed as a

    During my junior year at Stephen Decatur High School, I was enrolled in American Literature with Mrs. Moore. At first I thought she was a hard teacher because she made us write a lot. I enjoyed writing creative pieces, but in her class she gave us a prompt or we had to analyze a text and prove how the author believed in the American Dream or not. The first essay we wrote I scored a 29 out of 30 and was proud of myself because English has not always been my strongest subject. Our next assignment was on The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald.…

    The work created as a group has taken so many hours of hard work and dedication to complete, mostly because literary analyses have many different factors. From the thesis, to literature approaches, and going into the details of the literary devices used. The theme of our essay was failure, and it seems pretty ironic, because the main motivation to write it was to pass the class. At times, it seemed that none of us knew what to do, or how to write. What kept us motivated most of all had to be the perseverance of meeting deadlines.…

    My major weakness is that I am a poor editor. I am very redundant and wordy, which was why I turned a simple introduction into two drawn-out paragraphs. Throughout the entire paper, I act as though the reader has forgotten everything in the last paragraph, so I summarize make sure to define glasnost and perestroika over and over again. When it comes to writing essays, I always end up with writing too much, but saying too little and sometimes not getting the point…

    Taking Ap and honors classes I had challenge myself to be the best that I can rather than taking the easy route in life. Nothing is easy because you have to work hard in order to get what you want. At a young age I wanted to prove to my teachers and friends who doubted me that I was more than the words they use on me. As much as it hurts, you can’t always let the words people use on you change the goals you want in life. When I was younger I always had this high image of myself happy and buying all the dogs from the animal shelters and giving money to all the homeless people.…

    Survey Questions: Adjectives Creative- For an example from APULL, I try to avoid essays based off of clichés or other people’s ideas, instead creating essays by thinking about what I got out of the book and the parts that I personally believed were deserving of deeper analysis. Outside of school and writing, I use my creativity in my extracurriculars; I am an excellent French Horn player and have achieved the rank of Honor Thespian for my commitment and contributions to the theatre program here at Edina, bringing my love of dance and experience on the Hip Hop Dance Team to help choreograph many of the dance numbers seen this year in In The Heights.

    Throughout this year I have been your student nearly all of it, during which you gave us multiple assignments to complete. Three of the documents that are especially prominent in my mind are: the Advertisement Analysis, the Movie Review, and the Personal Narrative. The Advertisement Analysis is the assignment where we chose similar advertisements and compared them to find similarities and differences between them. The Movie Review is the review where we watched the movie Macbeth and criticized it using sources from outside sources. Then the Personal Narrative is the paper where we chose a significant moment of our life and wrote an in-depth synopsis about that duration of time.…
