My Journey

The feeling of accomplishment is overwhelming, but yet I am unsatisfied. This school year I embarked on a journey I never thought would end. I chose to challenge myself with the AP Language course. In the beginning I was a little hesitant about participating in the course, but I overcame my fears. I was afraid of failure; the constant thought of me giving up motivated me to go forward with my decision. I didn’t want to be labeled as someone who gave up. Day by day I was getting adjusted to my new life as an AP student; as I sit in a class full of my peers and an amazing teacher I realized with the combination of the two I could accomplish anything with their help. Throughout the year I figured out that the work was fairly simple, the only problem I faced was time management. I was underestimating my abilities and what I was capable of accomplishing. Whenever I needed assistance my classmates was there to help me understand and learn everything in the areas I was lacking knowledge such as, ethos, pathos, and logos. For future students I recommend you stay focus and organized, everything else will happen naturally. If you are a student that is not dedicated and ambitious to expand your knowledge this is not a course suitable for you, nothing in this course is given you have to really work. Overall, This course has been both stressful and beneficial. I now know the necessities to become a better writer. This up and coming school year I plan to continue to expand my knowledge with the AP Literature course.
