I would like to take AP English next year because reading and writing are incredibly important skills. No matter what field I chose to study in college, knowing how to read and write are pivotal to success. Beyond that I am honestly tired of letting each and every opportunity pass me by. Prior to my junior year I had basically thought that I wasn’t cut out for AP classes, or they were too much work. In the first semester of my junior year my grades took a huge leap almost gaining a full GPA point, and ending the first semester with an unweighted 4.0.

I wanted to see if I could actually effectively argue for this idea which we had never once talked about in class. When it comes to reading I basically just love to read, and can do so pretty well. I read a pretty good amount outside of school usually related to politics and history. Reading is also generally my favorite part of English class. I just love to pick up and read books I would never had
