Reflection On Ready To AP World History

Michael Jordan once said, “If you 're trying to achieve, there will be roadblocks. I 've had them; everybody has had them. But obstacles don 't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don 't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.” This quote serves as an example to how your learning will be during the next four years you spend in High School.

The only other challenges you will also face are learning to understand the bigger picture (concepts) and learning to write like a master.
