 Explain a significant experience, achievement, risk you have taken, or ethical dillema you have faced and its impact on you.


Something big for me that I have attempted during my high school years is taking an AP English class. Taking an AP class was not something I personally wanted to do, but was something my dad wanted me to do. In the beginnig I was really scared and nervous on how I would do in the class. In the beginning I struggled a lot, it was pretty difficult,being timed to write I essays which is something I am not used to doing. It is now around the 4th month of school and I seem to be getting more comfortable with the work being given in the class and I am noticing I am getting stronger in my writing skills and just doing better overall. I am glad my dad pushed me to be in an AP class because I am seeing that I am learning techniques I will need in order to be successful in college. I have learned new things such as different types of essays, many new vocabulary words, and just being a better writer overall. Being put in an AP class is something that will help me a lot in the future.
