AP Computer Science Exam

The reason why I took this course was because I felt like technology has definitely influenced this world on a larger scale than previously imagined. If you look in our ordinary lives, you will see products of technology and computing. Everyday objects like iPhones, calculators, even cars are being born out of programming and computing. The scale of this mass technological improvement is also a reason why I am taking AP computer science. If you think about it, just a century ago computing was just an idea, having machines complete everyday tasks. Now if you fast forward to our time, right now, once massive computers have shrunk down

I attended all training sessions and spent a great amount of time playing basketball since the thrill of winning games, of becoming better pushes me forward. I believed my efforts are worthy, since I had the advantage over other players in speed and keen awareness, and I trained harder than others every day. Basketball was the only thing on my mind. Then the time came to assemble the official school team to participate in formal basketball games. I thought for all my efforts

It is my junior year of high school and basketball season is right around the corner. I am on the verge of either making varsity or junior varsity this year depending upon my skills. Went through the tryouts and was able to make the junior varsity again for my second year with coach Maloney. I was all excited to play there again seeing I was one out of the three kids that made it back there again. From there it was Cam, Anthony, and I who thought would lead the team because we were the only ones who knew how to run Maloney’s offense and defense well that’s what I had thought was gonna be the case but in reality it wasn't. I thought I would be a starter for the team, but in reality I ended up being a bench player or how I thought of it as a

In the beginning of my junior year, I had signed up for one of the most intimidating classes in my high school, AP chemistry. While I took chemistry honors, I heard rumors about the AP course and seen homework packets that overwhelmed me to the point of removing the class from next year’s schedule. However, out of impulsiveness, I decided it was time for a challenge and put the course back on my schedule. When I received my summer assignment for the course, I felt confused and regretful about the decision I had made. My commitment to not fail the class the first week back from break forced me to focus on the time-consuming homework. From my struggle, I managed to finish the packet on time. The school year began, and one of the first lessons

The past few years since I have began High School I have realized how important school really is for my future. My freshman year was the year I slacked because I really just had no care but as an 11th grader and an incoming 12th grader for the 2018-2019 school year, I have realized it was a very big mistake because it is now affecting my GPA which I know could be higher. I am hoping that by taking this class it could increase my GPA although by the time I will be taking this class my college applications will have already been submitted. Taking an AP course will be the biggest step I have taken in my high school career. I may not have been ready for this step up in my education during the 2017-2018 school year but I believe I am fully prepared

My explore pt is GPS, gps is now very useful in our daily life, it is used to navigate, and in our modern life there are several types of GPS that be applied in many different ways like meteorological satellite, and of cause navigation satellite and so on

On Wednesday morning, I wondered if I will do well on my AP Lang test. For one, the thought of not knowing if the essays provided on the exam would be harder or easier was uncomfortable. However, I know everyone else is in the same situation as me. Mrs. bandelier instructed us with care, but the moment she said we may open out packet and answer sheets, the pressure and the stress all come pounding down on me. “This is it. I either pass or fail” is what I tell myself. The fact that I read slower and answer slower doesn’t assure me. What surprises me was on the exam this year, 5 essays were included instead of four. This means I have to read one essay than what we have practiced in class. However, the essays were interesting, and I

It’s my freshmen year and I’m the 6’4 center on JV now playing for varsity. The whole season I started and played almost the whole game. I was the leading rebounder and shot blocker on the team and I was the greatest defensive player on the team. I was averaging about four to eight points a game and about six or seven rebounds with three or four blocks a game. I can usually outrun the other team, and depending on the team can read all their plays after about the second or third time of them running it. I am kind of different physically from the rest of the team which is where I like to run sprints, even though I hate suicides because if the opposing varsity team outrebounded us on offense we have to do that many suicides which I hate doing every other day, but other than that I don’t mind a bunch of down and backs.I think that everyone in the basketball program at East Wake Academy has a lot of room to improve all

Last year, in seventh grade I decided to try out for basketball after the first day of tryouts I was not confident that I was going to make the team because I could not make a shot. The next day we had another try out I was ready to play. I came out and played well which made me feel better about the tryout. After the third day of tryouts I was not to confident that I would make the team. When I got the email that I made the team I was juiced I jumped all over my room. The first practice I was ready to play. I knew that coach Faust didn't mess around when it came to basketball. Practice was miserable I was so tired from doing “suicides” and running around the track. Our team couldn't do any of the drills successfully so we ended up running extra. On the second day of practice we started doing much better and making some shots.

My freshman year flew by as I stood on the sideline game after game, not even caring that I wasn't playing. I was so intimidated by other better players on the team that I did not even want to try and get playing time. Just like that, my freshman year of football went to waste, and I wanted change. I started sophomore year with a new plan. I was going to work harder than everyone no matter who they were. The off-season started and I was introduced to our new JV coach, Coach Mike. The intensity of his practices left me to question every day if that practice was more exhausting than the last. Despite the difficulty, I worked as hard as possible every day, and it paid off. I did not know it at the time but I was not just growing physically, but also mentally. Football taught me leadership, sacrifice, discipline, bravery, selflessness, and most importantly, it taught me resilience. Playing football was and still is one of the most difficult things I've experienced, but football brings out one's true character, and for that very reason, I am glad that I was influenced that day into

In order to prepare myself for the AP Literature exam, on May 04, 2016, I must acknowledge each sections and essays that will be on it. I am aware of reading diverse poems, answer multiple choice questions, and write 3 essays. I feel apathy for the multiple choice questions because I've erudite different strategies for answering the questions correctly such as, cross elimination. In consideration of getting a better score I must choose my answers carefully so that they do not averse my goal of getting a perfect score that I am desperate to get. After that there will be a free- response essay and poetry essay. I have an adverse opinion towards the essays, which is the time I have to complete them. Although, I’ve learned that I can complete

Despite the dedicated amount of effort, the AP exams continue to haunt others. The sole purpose of AP exams continues to be a decision of trial and error. While, some students excel at AP exams, others struggle miserably. These exams are only designated for certain students. While, others believe they can achieve a favorable result, it’s next to impossible. Because, these exams are geared to strong difficulty curve the odds of that passing are lower than

The years seem to fly by as you get older. Blending together the years only possibly highlighting the day you turn one year older. That moment for me was, in fact, my birthday and I could finally drive and four days later going to London. But the months leading up to that were chaos. Many people are busy throughout the year from start to finish such as sports, school work, looking at colleges, or even jobs. I was one of them; having plenty of things that would keep me busy - (most of what I liked to do like soccer, basketball, and spending time with my family and cousins, but some not so much like having the burden of housework chores).

For most of my young academic career, failure had never been a real problem. I had never really struggled in any particular subject and I was able to succeed with little effort on my part. This all changed my sophomore year of high school. This was the first year I would be allowed to take all of the Advanced Placement and Honor classes that I wanted. Forgetting how rigorous the institution I attended actually was, I loaded my schedule. I honestly thought I would be able to breeze through the year with little struggle. Sadly, I was hopelessly disillusioned. My usual thirty minutes of homework a night turned into hours of tedious studying and preparation for the next day. My usual free time had vanished, and I was up long nights writing essays and studying for tests and quizzes. Even though I was nowhere near used to the workload, I persevered thinking my hard work would pay off when I received my “A”. However, I was wrong again, my hard work only went far enough to earn me a “C+” in my first AP course. I was devastated.

My faith and mental & physical health started to become very important to me. I began to run, and started mapping out the parks in Fort Wayne that I had ran. I started reading scripture every day, and taking sacred time at USF seriously. I practiced mindfulness, and tried new things. This year so far has been one filled with self-discovery.
