Persuasive Essay On Ap English

I am not the kind of person that backs down from a challenge. When I was offered to take AP Psychology I already knew I'd be taking two other AP classes. I knew from personal experiences that AP classes came with stress and a lot of rigorous work. It didn't take long for me to come up with an answer: “I'd love to take AP Psych.”

Passing the AP exam brought pride to myself and to my parents. My parents have always expected great things from me, and to be able to please them is delightful. While it can be stressful to have my parents expect so much, I understand where they are coming from. Since they were only able to attend grade school,

For the life of me I could not understand what was being taught in my AP Chemistry class. A big part of chemistry was memorizing important facts and equations and using those concepts in the comprehension of chemistry. I always failed grasping these important concepts and I was struggling in the class for a long time. I really wanted a tutor to educate me more on this subject, but due to financial issues there was no possible way we could manage to afford one. Another big part of taking an AP class is collaborating with your classmates but I was always shy. While my classmates were interacting, helping each other, and sending each other study guides and useful information, I would always be left in the dark.

This school year, I decided to join AP Calculus AB. It was tough for me to decide if I should join or not, especially since I'm going to be taking an AP course. I knew it will be more challenging than basic calculus, and instead of taking math for one semester only, I'll have AP Calc for the whole school year. After days of contemplating, I

Throughout many of the arduous AP courses I took in high school I was pushed to my limits, but I accomplished my goals through hard work. One example of this would be my AP United States History class. This class was one of the most difficult courses I had taken, mostly due to the sheer amount of information being presented and needed to be memorized. Even though the basics of U.S. history had been taught to me in one way shape or form every school year, there was brand new information on people and important dates. At first I struggled with the work load and text, but I eventually made it through and succeeded by diving

I think it is safe to say math has always been a passion of mine. I remember learning to count to 1000 in first grade. When I was finally able to do it without any help, it was like swimming for the first time, eating the ripe tomatoes I grew myself, or putting together a new song on the guitar. The feeling of accomplishment cannot be recreated. As we get older, this feeling becomes more difficult to achieve. This only increases my motivation and determination to learn something new. AP calculus has been a roller coaster of learning. Despite the struggle and rigor, I learned valuable skills that will help me in my future aspirations. Taking the AP Calculus exam gave me a rush of accomplishment. I have built a knowledge base because I am constantly

The story behind as to why I took the Pre-AP English class isn’t a very interesting one. From SLMS to CJH I never signed up for the Honors English classes, that decision for me was just one of those things you consider but never actually intend to do. I believe the reason why my 9th grade English teacher recommended me for Pre-AP was because I always performed at the top of the class. After I was approached with the offer I knew I could’ve made one of two choices; either stay in a regular leveled class or challenge my skills and proficiency in Pre-AP. Honestly, if I had taken the regular course I probably would have passed with an A and minor struggles. Profoundly deep down inside I knew the right thing for me to do was take Pre-AP to test

Someone once said, “Strength doesn’t come from what you can do. It comes from overcoming the things you once thought you couldn’t.” I use to think that I couldn’t take AP because it was too difficult. But I’m willing to prove to myself and others that just because something is considered hard, doesn’t automatically mean it’s not for you or that you’re going to fail. I want to take AP Biology because I want to challenge myself, of the benefits, and for the experience. I believe that hard work comes with great rewards that are life changing.

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

Ap Physics was a course that brought me the most pain and joy. Pain of constantly wanting to breakdown and cry from the complexity of it's course but once you understand it brings you so much joy. Knowing that I had to go to class, brought extreme anxiety upon me and it lingered all class period. My teacher Mr.Towne was so

On paper, I may not be the best student. I know very well that I am not the brightest student that this university has come across. Nonetheless, my drive and determination is something that I am very proud of. I strive to put my all into every aspect of my education. I remember junior year of high school being the most challenging year I have ever had. I took the initiative of taking three AP level courses all in one semester. I took AP U.S. History, AP Language, and AP Statistics head on that semester. I had heard rumors about AP U.S. History being “the hardest class you will ever take in high school”. That terrified me from the moment I first entered the classroom. With the help of an amazing teacher, it became my favorite class right away. I had not heard much about AP Language, so I had no clue what

The last time I saw Charlie outside prison walls we were on the run. Charlie was on the run, not I, I just went along for the ride because he was my husband. Charlie was on parole, but he loved to drink his booze. In our state it's a violation to drink while on parole.

English 2010 follows the 1010 course teaching students to think critically by connecting the ideas of a varied group of authors. Because of its many benefits, many students go on to take 2010 following the introductory course; it seems like the obvious next step in a student’s academic career, but, in a high school setting, it's not for everyone.

“Your assignment is to write a persuasive essay and present it to the class in a week. You will be graded based on how convincing it is. Today we will be choosing topics,” announced Mr. Bowerbank, my 7th grade English teacher and ruler of classroom 110. My class simultaneously groaned at the prospect of work. I simply lifted my head with intrigue as it was already May and about time we had our first essay. He then proceeded to give examples of topics we could choose and gave us some time to think before we had to tell him our topic. My classmates were already rushing to tell the teacher their idea lest someone else steal it. That meant the usual abortion, death penalty, or drug use topics were out. I really couldn't think of anything and the teacher was slowly making his way through the remaining students like an executioner beheading criminals in a line. I have always thought that he would make a marvelous supervillain if he had a curly mustache, a tophat, and a cape. Eventually my name was called. I slowly dragged myself over to his desk. Even sitting down, he still seemed to tower over me. “What is your topic Cindy?” As usual in such desperate times, my mind turned to food. “Waffles are better than pancakes.” I figured that a waffle was just a differently shaped pancake with a nicer texture. “Hmm. Excellent topic. I look forward to your essay!” I survived to live yet another day.
